Virtuals Protocol AI Agent Scraper [Just 💰$0.9]

What does Virtuals Protocol AI Agent Scraper do?

Virtuals Protocol AI Agent Scraper extracts structured company data from virtuals.io — including full descriptions, prices, 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.

Key features

• 🥇 Ranking and badges: rank as virtuals.io shows them on each company.
• 🗂️ Category path: category place each company in virtuals.io's own category tree.
• 🔍 Keyword search: search virtuals.io by keyword with the query input.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste virtuals.io URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• 📋 Detail enrichment: toggle two-stage scraping: first collect listings, then enrich each with full description + detail-page-only fields. Off by default to keep runs fast; flip on when you need the deep payload.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: recurring runs emit only directory entries that are new or updated — keep your supplier-outreach lists fresh without re-fetching the full directory. Saves 80–95% on weekly syncs.
• 🔔 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 directory entries — name, contact, location, industry — ready to import into your CRM or outreach tool.
• 🔌 MCP connectors: push your leads into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a tidy run-summary page, no export step, no glue code. Opt-in, deterministic field-mapping (no AI). More destinations as Apify's connector catalog grows.
• 📌 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 virtuals.io?

Each result includes Core company fields (_type, rank, name, symbol, category, chain, status, and token_address, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (role, description, 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.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get 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 — Matched against agent name or token symbol (case-insensitive). Leave empty to browse all agents. Use a JSON array for multiple searches, e.g. ["trading","gaming"].
• status — Only return agents at this stage of their lifecycle. Leave empty for all. Use a JSON array to cover several. (default: "")
• chain — Only return agents whose token lives on this chain. Leave empty for all chains. (default: "")
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• startUrls — Paste raw search URLs from the target site. Each URL becomes its own search task; results are merged and deduped by agent across all URLs. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the search fields (each supported URL becomes one task; unsupported URLs are skipped, and if none is supported the run stops with an input error). (default: [])
• includeDetails — Also fetch each agent's live USD market data (price, market cap, FDV, reserves, 24h net buy volume). (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate each agent description to N characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. stateKey is optional — defaults to a value derived from your search inputs (queries, status, chain, startUrls) so different filter sets never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• skipReposts — When incremental, skip agents whose content matches an agent that disappeared in a prior run (cross-run duplicate detection). (default: false)
• ...and 14 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.

{
  "query": "ai agent",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit companies 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.

{
  "query": "ai agent",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "ai-agent-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "ai agent",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured company 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, REAPPEARED.
• 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 virtuals.io

1. Go to Virtuals Protocol AI Agent Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword.
3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Enable includeDetails if you need full descriptions.

Use cases

• Extract company data from virtuals.io for market research and competitive analysis.
• Track pricing trends across regions and categories over time.
• Monitor new and changed companies on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• Use structured location data for regional analysis, mapping, and geo-targeting.

How much does it cost to scrape virtuals.io?

Virtuals Protocol AI Agent Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.01 per run
• Per result: $0.0009 per company record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.019
• 25 results: $0.033
• 100 results: $0.1
• 200 results: $0.19
• 500 results: $0.46

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of companies that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 companies per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of companies.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.24	$0.02	$0.21 (91%)	$0.64
15% — moderate broad query	$0.24	$0.04	$0.19 (81%)	$1.31
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.24	$0.08	$0.16 (67%)	$2.33

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $7.05. First month with incremental costs $0.85 / $1.50 / $2.48 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
