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 ## Anime Wallpaper Scraper Scrape high-quality anime wallpapers from [WallHaven.cc](https://wallhaven.cc) — one of the largest wallpaper communities.

Leave empty for all anime wallpapers. ## `categories` (type: `string`): WallHaven categories to include: anime, general, people, or any combination. ## `sorting` (type: `string`): How to sort results. ## `minResolution` (type: `string`): Minimum resolution filter (e.g. '1920x1080', '2560x1440', '3840x2160'). Leave empty for no minimum. ## `ratioFilter` (type: `string`): Aspect ratio filter (e.g. '16x9', '9x16' for mobile, '4x3'). Leave empty for any ratio. ## `colors` (type: `string`): Dominant color hex code (without #, e.g. 'cc3333' for red).
