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.

Fetch trending projects, search by art tag, browse user portfolios, retrieve job listings, and look up artist profiles. No authentication required. ### What data can you scrape? - **Trending projects** — globally trending artwork with likes, views, tags, and artist info - **Tag-based projects** — projects filtered by art category (e.g. "character design", "concept art") - **User portfolios** — all public projects from a specific ArtStation username - **Single project** — detailed data for any project by its hash ID - **Job listings** — professional creative job postings, optionally filtered by country - **User profiles** — search for artists by name ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `mode` | select | What to fetch: `trending`, `byTag`, `byUser`, `byProjectId`, `jobs`, `searchUsers` | | `tag` | string | Art tag for `byTag` mode (e.g. "character design") | | `username` | string | ArtStation username for `byUser` mode | | `projectId` | string | Project hash ID for `byProjectId` mode | | `searchQuery` | string | Search query for `searchUsers` mode | | `country` | string | 2-letter ISO country code for `jobs` mode (optional) | | `minLikes` | integer | Minimum likes filter (trending/byTag) | | `minViews` | integer | Minimum views filter (trending/byTag) | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum records to emit (default: 50) | ### Output — Project record ```json { "projectId": "aBcDe5", "title": "Epic Dragon Concept", "artistName": "Jane Doe", "artistUsername": "janedoe", "description": "A detailed dragon design...", "tags": ["character design", "fantasy"], "coverUrl": "https://cdn.artstation.com/...", "smallCoverUrl": "https://cdn.artstation.com/...", "likesCount": 1250, "viewsCount": 48000, "commentsCount": 87, "medium": "Software", "categories": ["2D", "Concept Art"], "publishedAt": "2024-03-15T10:30:00.000Z", "projectUrl": "https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aBcDe5", "isPro": true, "recordType": "project", "siteName": "ArtStation", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-10T12:00:00+00:00" } ```` ### Output — Job record ```json { "jobId": 12345, "title": "Senior Concept Artist", "company": "Epic Games", "location": "Cary, United States", "jobType": "Full-time", "remote": true, "description": "We are looking for...", "applicationUrl": "https://...", "skills": ["Photoshop", "ZBrush"], "postedAt": "2024-03-01T00:00:00.000Z", "expiresAt": "2024-06-01T00:00:00.000Z", "recordType": "job", "siteName": "ArtStation", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-10T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### Output — User record ```json { "username": "janedoe", "fullName": "Jane Doe", "headline": "Senior Concept Artist", "followerCount": 5000, "followingCount": 200, "projectCount": 48, "likesGivenCount": 12000, "country": "United States", "city": "Cary", "avatarUrl": "https://cdn.artstation.com/...", "isStaff": false, "isPro": true, "profileUrl": "https://www.artstation.com/janedoe", "recordType": "user", "siteName": "ArtStation", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-10T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### FAQs **Do I need an account or API key?** No. The ArtStation public API requires no authentication. **How many items can I scrape?** Set `maxItems` up to 1000 per run. Pagination is handled automatically. **Can I filter by multiple tags?** Run separate actor runs for each tag you want to scrape. **Are job listings worldwide?** Yes by default. Set `country` to a 2-letter ISO code (e.g. `US`, `CA`, `GB`) to filter. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch from ArtStation. ## `tag` (type: `string`): Tag to filter projects by, e.g. 'character design', 'digital painting', 'concept art'. ## `username` (type: `string`): ArtStation username (from profile URL, e.g. 'john\_doe' from artstation.com/john\_doe). ## `projectId` (type: `string`): Hash ID from the project URL, e.g. 'aBcDe5' from artstation.com/artwork/aBcDe5. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Name or keyword to search for user profiles. ## `country` (type: `string`): 2-letter ISO country code for job listings, e.g. 'US', 'CA', 'GB'. Leave empty for worldwide. ## `minLikes` (type: `integer`): Skip projects with fewer likes than this threshold. ## `minViews` (type: `integer`): Skip projects with fewer views than this threshold. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to emit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "trending", "maxItems": 5 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped ArtStation projects, jobs, or user profiles. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
