The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Spotify Profile Scraper Apify actor that scrapes **public Spotify user profiles** — display name, profile image, follower/following counts, and the public playlist library. Built for Vana's `data-pipe` light-scrape path (the no-login, public-data lane — the analog of the Instagram profile scraper). ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `profileUrls` | string[] | — (required) | Spotify user profiles: full URL (`https://open.spotify.com/user/`), URI (`spotify:user:`), or bare handle. | | `playlistLimit` | integer | `100` | Max public playlists returned per profile (1–200). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy | Proxy used to reach Spotify. | ```json { "profileUrls": ["https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify", "barackobama"], "playlistLimit": 100 } ```` ### Output One dataset item per profile: ```json { "user_id": "barackobama", "uri": "spotify:user:barackobama", "display_name": "Barack Obama", "profile_image": "https://i.scdn.co/image/5c5cc54bd034019326ff5f2e1dc51dcd83656efd", "followers_count": 360080, "following_count": null, "is_verified": true, "total_public_playlists_count": 4, "public_playlists_returned": 4, "public_playlists": [ { "uri": "spotify:playlist:3DYdRhM1VrOkNNPPaYnkLc", "playlist_id": "3DYdRhM1VrOkNNPPaYnkLc", "name": "Official Inauguration Playlist", "image_url": "https://i.scdn.co/image/...", "followers_count": 11937, "owner_name": "Barack Obama", "owner_uri": "spotify:user:barackobama" } ], "recently_played_artists": [], "source_url": "https://open.spotify.com/user/barackobama", "scraped_at": "2026-05-22T12:00:00.000Z", "_method": "api" } ``` Failed profiles produce an item with an `error` field (`profile_not_found`, `profile_unavailable`, `invalid_input`, `scrape_failed`) instead of crashing the run. `recently_played_artists` is best-effort — present only for profiles that expose it; brand/label accounts return `[]`. ### How it works (robustness) Two independent failure domains, so one Spotify change rarely breaks both: - **Path A (primary)** — a real Chromium (CDP/Playwright) loads `open.spotify.com`; the web player fetches its own *anonymous* auth tokens, which the actor intercepts off the network. It then calls one stable internal JSON endpoint, `user-profile-view/v3/profile/{id}`. No TOTP secret, no GraphQL persisted-query hashes — nothing brittle to maintain. - **Path B (fallback)** — if the API or tokens fail, the actor loads the profile page and reads the DOM via stable `data-testid` attributes only. The `_method` field on each item records which path produced it. ### Local development ```bash npm install ## put test input in storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json node src/main.js ## results land in storage/datasets/default/ ``` # Actor input Schema ## `profileUrls` (type: `array`): Spotify user profiles to scrape. Accepts full URLs (https://open.spotify.com/user/), URIs (spotify:user:), or bare user IDs. One entry = one result. ## `playlistLimit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of public playlists returned per profile. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used to reach Spotify. Apify Proxy is recommended to avoid datacenter-IP rate limiting. ## Actor input object example ```json { "profileUrls": [ "https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify" ], "playlistLimit": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "profileUrls": [ "https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("coachable_luster/spotify-profile-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
