What is Dcard Creator Rankings — Public Leaderboard?

Track Dcard's public creator leaderboard positions and aggregate metrics as structured data.

• Optional aggregate public follower/article counts and badges
• Creator identifiers are excluded by default
• No arbitrary profile lookup, follower identities, contacts, avatars, profile text, or anonymous-author resolution

How do I export Dcard creator rankings?

1. Click Try for free.
2. Leave enrichment off for the quickest ranking snapshot, or enable the public creator fields you need.
3. Keep How many ranked creators at 5 for a cheap first run.
4. Click Start, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or another supported format.

Prepared private Tasks:

• dcard-top-creators-snapshot — five current leaderboard rows
• dcard-creator-metrics — ranks with public follower and article totals
• dcard-category-creators — a larger leaderboard snapshot for category analysis

Input

{
  "enrichCreators": false,
  "includeCreatorIdentifiers": false,
  "maxItems": 5
}

The Actor intentionally has no profile handle or URL input. Creator enrichment can run only for profiles discovered in the current public leaderboard response.

Illustrative output

{
  "rank": 1,
  "category": "Overall",
  "followerCount": null,
  "articleCount": null,
  "badges": [],
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.dcard.tw/leaderboard",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-04T12:00:00Z"
}

Counts remain null when creator enrichment is off or when Dcard does not expose them on the logged-out page.

API

1. Copy an API token from Settings → API & Integrations in Apify Console.
2. Replace YOUR_TOKEN and start a run:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/bakos_bence~dcard-creator-rankings/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"enrichCreators":true,"includeCreatorIdentifiers":false,"maxItems":5}'

3. Copy defaultDatasetId from the response and fetch the rows:

https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?format=json&clean=true&token=YOUR_TOKEN

Integrations

A successful run's defaultDatasetId can be sent through Apify webhooks or read by Excel, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n, Power BI, Looker Studio, Tableau, Qlik, or an API client.

For CSV-based tools, fetch:

https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-tasks/TASK_ID/runs/last/dataset/items?format=csv&clean=true&status=SUCCEEDED&token=YOUR_TOKEN

Treat token-bearing URLs like passwords.

Limits and privacy

• Public logged-out pages only; no account or session-cookie input.
• The run always begins at https://www.dcard.tw/leaderboard.
• Only leaderboard-listed creator pages can be enriched.
• It does not collect follower identities, contacts, avatars, profile text, school, department, gender, or private profile fields.
• Dcard can change its page structure. A zero-row parse fails the run instead of returning a misleading empty success.
• Apify UNBLOCKER is forced by the Actor and cannot be disabled through input.

This Actor is not affiliated with Dcard.
