## 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`).

# README

### What does Unsplash Photo Search Scraper do?

Unsplash Photo Search Scraper extracts structured record data from [unsplash.com](https://unsplash.com) — including full descriptions, tags, and location data. It supports keyword search and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions) where the source provides them.

### How to use this actor

- 👉 **Register for a free Apify account** — no credit card required.
- 🎉 Just click **[Sign up free on Apify →](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi)** and complete a quick signup.
- 💰 A free Apify account includes $5 in monthly credits — enough to test this actor.
- ⏳ Scrape during the free trial, with no commitment or upfront payment required.

### Key features

- **🎛️ Filters and sorting:** narrow results by `orientation`, `color` (keyword searches), `orderBy` (relevant or latest) and `license` (all, free or Unsplash+ only).
- **👀 Views and engagement:** `likes` and `views` show how far each record reached and how people reacted.
- **🔍 Keyword search:** search unsplash.com by keyword with the `query` input.
- **🔗 Paste-mode:** paste unsplash.com URLs into `startUrls`: photo searches, collections, topics, photographer profiles and single photo pages, mixed in one run. Filters in the URL are honoured.
- **📋 Detail enrichment:** full details are on by default: tags, camera EXIF, location, topics and view and download counts for every photo. Turn `includeDetails` off for faster, lighter runs.
- **♻️ Incremental mode:** recurring runs emit only photos that are new or changed since the last run, so scheduled monitoring does not re-deliver what you already have. Different searches, pages and filters never share state.
- **🔔 Notifications:** Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.
- **📦 Compact mode:** compact mode keeps the core fields only (`listingId`, `id`, `title`, `altDescription`, `photoUrl`, `query`, `rank`, `sourceUrl`, `scrapedAt`, `license`, `licenseUrl`, `photographerName`, `unsplashUrl`, `changeType`), ready for AI agents and pipelines.
- **🔌 MCP connectors:** send a run summary to Notion through Apify's MCP connectors. Opt-in, deterministic field mapping (no AI).
- **📌 Change classification:** each record carries a `changeType` of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with `emitUnchanged` / `emitExpired`.
- **🧹 Empty-field stripping:** drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards that already handle missing fields gracefully.

### What data can you extract from unsplash.com?

Each result includes Core record fields (`id`, `imageId`, `title`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `width`, `height`, and `color`, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`description`, `altDescription`, and `detailFetched`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Detail enrichment is on by default and adds richer fields such as full descriptions where the source provides them.

### Input

The main inputs are a search keyword and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

- **`query`** — Photo search keywords (e.g. "nature", "office desk"). Required if no startUrls provided.
- **`maxResults`** — Maximum total photos (0 = unlimited). (default: `100`)
- **`startUrls`** — Paste Unsplash page URLs. Supported: photo search (unsplash.com/s/photos/<keyword>), collections (unsplash.com/collections/<id>), topics (unsplash.com/t/<topic>), photographer profiles (unsplash.com/@<username>) and single photo pages (unsplash.com/photos/<photo>). Mixed lists work. Filters in the URL (orientation, color, order_by) win over the filter fields below. Each URL becomes its own task; results are merged and deduped by photo ID. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the query field. Unsupported URLs are skipped with a warning; if none is supported the run stops with an input error. (default: `[]`)
- **`orientation`** — Only photos with this orientation. Leave empty for all. Applies to keyword searches, collections, topics and photographer pages.
- **`color`** — Only photos dominated by this color. Applies to keyword searches only (other page types ignore it). Leave empty for all.
- **`orderBy`** — Sort order: most relevant first, or newest first.
- **`license`** — all = every photo; free = only photos under the free Unsplash license; plus = only Unsplash+ (premium) photos. (default: `"all"`)
- **`includeDetails`** — Fetch full photo details (tags, camera metadata, location, topics, view/download counts). (default: `true`)
- **`descriptionMaxLength`** — Truncate description to N chars. 0 = no truncation. (default: `0`)
- **`compact`** — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: `false`)
- **`descriptionFormat`** — Pick a single description representation. `all` keeps every variant; `text` / `html` / `markdown` drop the others. (default: `"all"`)
- **`excludeEmptyFields`** — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: `false`)
- ...and 18 more parameters

### Input examples

**Basic search** — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

```json
{
  "query": "nature",
  "maxResults": 50
}
```

**Filtered search** — Narrow results with advanced filters — only matching records are returned.

→ Same field set as basic search; fewer, more relevant rows.

```json
{
  "query": "nature",
  "orientation": "landscape",
  "color": "black_and_white",
  "license": "all",
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

**Incremental tracking** — Only emit records that changed since the previous run with this `stateKey`.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set `emitUnchanged: true` to include unchanged records as well.

```json
{
  "query": "nature",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "nature-tracker"
}
```

**Compact filtered output** — Combine filters with compact mode for a lightweight AI-agent or MCP data source.

→ Core fields only — ideal for piping into LLMs or downstream tools without token overhead.

```json
{
  "query": "nature",
  "orientation": "landscape",
  "color": "black_and_white",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}
```

### Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured record records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

```

### Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

- `changeType` — one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others.
- `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output.

### How to scrape unsplash.com

1. Go to [Unsplash Photo Search Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/unsplash-com-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console.

Supported: photo search (unsplash.com/s/photos/<keyword>), collections (unsplash.com/collections/<id>), topics (unsplash.com/t/<topic>), photographer profiles (unsplash.com/@<username>) and single photo pages (unsplash.com/photos/<photo>). Mixed lists work. Filters in the URL (orientation, color, order_by) win over the filter fields below. Each URL becomes its own task; results are merged and deduped by photo ID. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the query field. Unsupported URLs are skipped with a warning; if none is supported the run stops with an input error.

## `orientation` (type: `string`):

Only photos with this orientation. Leave empty for all. Applies to keyword searches, collections, topics and photographer pages.

## `color` (type: `string`):

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "query": "nature",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "descriptionFormat": "all",
    "excludeEmptyFields": False,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("blackfalcondata/unsplash-com-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "nature",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "descriptionFormat": "all",
  "excludeEmptyFields": false
}' |
apify call blackfalcondata/unsplash-com-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,blackfalcondata/unsplash-com-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
