## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## 🎬 Tunefind Soundtracks Scraper

> **Export the songs listed on a Tunefind show, season, episode or movie page as rows: song title, artist, the scene the song plays in, the episode it belongs to and the page it came from.** Point it at one URL and get the soundtrack as a table. No API key, no registration, no login.

Tunefind is the crowd maintained record of which songs appear in which films and television episodes, along with the scene note a contributor wrote for each one. It is organised for browsing: one page per season or episode, ten songs at a time, nothing to export. This Actor walks the season and episode pages from the URL you give it, reads the data Tunefind's own pages are built from, and writes every song into a dataset you can sort, filter and join to a rights database.

| Who uses it | What they use the soundtrack data for |
|---|---|
| 🎧 Music supervisors and sync agents | Seeing what an artist or a label has already placed, and in what kind of scene |
| 📀 Publishers and rights researchers | Building a placement list per catalogue title instead of clicking through episodes |
| 📊 Media and streaming analysts | Comparing music spend and repertoire across series and seasons |
| 🎞 Writers and superfans | Assembling a complete song list for a show in one file |

### 📋 What it does

> 💡 **Why it matters:** a placement history is the evidence behind a sync pitch. Tunefind holds it, with the scene note attached, and will not hand it over as a list, so this does.

- 🔗 **Takes one URL.** A show page, a single season, a single episode or a movie. From a show page it walks every season and every episode below it.
- 🎵 **One row per song,** with the performing artists in their own column.
- 🎭 **Carries the scene note,** the line a contributor wrote about where the song plays, for example `Benny's Diner: Eleven steals food; Benny catches her.`
- 📺 **Names the episode properly,** as `E1 | Chapter One: The Crawl` rather than repeating the show title.
- 📄 **Follows Tunefind's paging.** A movie page shows ten songs at a time. A run for `Barbie` returns all 47.
- 🔢 **Caps the run with `maxItems`,** up to 1,000,000 on a paid Apify plan.
- 💾 **Exports to CSV, Excel, JSON or XML**, from the run page or the API.

### 📊 Output

Every song is one flat row, with the same nine fields on every run.

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 🎬 `show` | string | The show or film the song was placed in, for example `Stranger Things` or `Top Gun: Maverick` |
| 📺 `episode` | string | Episode the song plays in, as Tunefind numbers it, for example `E2 \| Chapter Two: The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler`. `null` on a movie |
| 🎭 `scene` | string | The scene note for this placement. `null` where nobody has written one |
| 🎵 `song` | string | Song title, on its own |
| 🎤 `artist` | string | Performing artists as Tunefind credits them, comma separated when there is more than one |
| ⏱ `timestamp` | string | Running time the song starts at, read from the scene note. Tunefind has no timestamp field of its own, so this is filled only on the minority of placements where a contributor typed one, for example `22:22` |
| 🔗 `url` | string | The episode or movie page the row came from |
| 🕒 `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp of collection |
| ⚠️ `error` | string | `null` on a normal row |

#### Example rows

```json
{
  "show": "Stranger Things",
  "episode": "E2 | Chapter Two: The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler",
  "scene": "Demogorgon attacks; It wants Holly.",
  "song": "Fernando",

  "timestamp": null,
  "url": "https://www.tunefind.com/show/stranger-things/season-5/269796",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-22T18:52:11.739Z",
  "error": null
}
```

```

### ✨ Why choose this Actor

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **One URL in, a table out** | No paging to click and no copy and paste out of song cards. |
| **Song, artist and scene as separate columns** | Ready to join against a catalogue or a rights spreadsheet. |
| **Episode level detail** | Each row says which episode the song plays in, so a season splits cleanly. |
| **Traceable rows** | Every row keeps the page it came from, so a disputed entry can be checked. |
| **You pay per row** | No subscription. A page with no songs costs nothing. |

### 🚀 How to use it

3. Paste a Tunefind show, season, episode or movie URL into `startUrl`.
4. Set `maxItems` to cap the run.
5. Select **Start**, then export from the **Dataset** tab as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.

A first run:

```json
{
  "startUrl": "https://www.tunefind.com/show/stranger-things",
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

One season in full:

```json
{
  "startUrl": "https://www.tunefind.com/show/stranger-things/season-5",

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrl` | No | Tunefind show, season, episode or movie page URL. Defaults to `https://www.tunefind.com/show/stranger-things` |
| `maxItems` | No | Maximum song rows to collect in a run. Free plans are capped at 10, paid plans go to 1,000,000 |

### 💰 Pricing

Pay per result. No subscription, and no Apify platform usage on top.

| Apify plan | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Per song row | $0.0045 | $0.00436 | $0.00422 | $0.00407 | $0.00407 | $0.00407 |

| Rows collected | Cost on the Free plan |

| 100 | $0.45 |
| 1,000 | $4.50 |
| 10,000 | $45.00 |

**Free plan runs** return up to 10 rows as a preview. Any paid Apify plan lifts that to 1,000,000 per run.

### 🔌 Integrate with any app

The dataset is available through the Apify API as soon as the run finishes. Use `run-sync-get-dataset-items` for a one-shot call, webhooks to trigger what happens next, or the Make, Zapier, Airbyte and LangChain integrations listed on the Actor page.

### 🤖 Use with an AI agent

Give an agent live access to the soundtrack pages over the Model Context Protocol:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=acquistion-automation/tunefind-soundtracks-scraper"
```

Then ask it in plain language which songs a show used and have it read the list back.

### ❓ Frequently asked questions

**What counts as a valid `startUrl`?**
Four shapes work. A show page such as `/show/stranger-things`, a season such as `/show/stranger-things/season-5`, a single episode such as `/show/stranger-things/season-5/269796`, and a movie such as `/movie/top-gun-maverick-2022`. From a show page the Actor walks every season and every episode under it until `maxItems` is reached.

**Why is `timestamp` empty on most rows?**
Tunefind does not publish a running time for a placement. Some contributors write one into the scene note, as in `Starts at 22:22 in film.`, and the Actor lifts it into `timestamp` when they do. Across a 125 song sample, two rows carried one.

**Why is `scene` empty on a few rows?**
The scene note is contributed by Tunefind's users. A recently added song often has none yet. `song` and `artist` are still filled.

**Why is `episode` `null`?**
The row came from a movie page, which has no episodes. On a show, season or episode URL every row carries an episode.

**How many rows will one title return?**
As many as Tunefind lists. `Stranger Things` holds 452 songs across five seasons, `Barbie` holds 47. Set `maxItems` to the number you want to pay for.

**Do I need a proxy?**
No. Requests and retries are handled inside the Actor and included in the price.

**What can I export?**
CSV, Excel, JSON and XML from the run page, or JSON straight from the API.

### About Acquisition Automation Co.

We build automation for people buying businesses. The repetitive part of an acquisition search, checking listings, pulling public records, tracking owners and assets, is work a machine should do, so the buyer's time goes into judging deals instead of collecting them.

We add new Actors regularly. If there is a source you need and do not see here, tell us.
