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 ## Audius Scraper Scrape tracks, trending music, playlists, and artist data from **Audius** — the decentralized, open-source music streaming platform with 8M+ tracks. No API key, no login, no cookies required. ### What you can scrape - **Trending tracks** — weekly, monthly, or all-time charts with play counts - **Search tracks** — filter by genre and mood - **Artist tracks** — all tracks from any public artist handle - **Search playlists** — find curated playlists by keyword - **Trending playlists** — top playlists by popularity period ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `trackId` | Unique Audius track identifier | | `title` | Track title | | `artist` | Artist display name | | `artistHandle` | Artist URL handle | | `genre` | Genre (Electronic, Rock, Hip-Hop/Rap, etc.) | | `mood` | Mood tag (Upbeat, Dreamy, Aggressive, etc.) | | `duration` | Duration in seconds | | `playCount` | Total stream/play count | | `repostCount` | Number of reposts | | `favoriteCount` | Number of favorites (likes) | | `commentCount` | Number of comments | | `tags` | List of tags | | `downloadable` | Whether track is downloadable | | `streamable` | Whether track is streamable | | `imageUrl` | Artwork image URL | | `previewUrl` | Track stream URL | | `sourceUrl` | Direct link on Audius | | `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp | | `recordType` | Always `"track"` or `"playlist"` | ### Input options | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `mode` | select | `trending`, `search`, `byUser`, `playlists`, `trendingPlaylists` | | `searchQuery` | string | Search term (for search/playlists modes) | | `userHandle` | string | Artist handle for byUser mode | | `genre` | select | Filter by genre (33 options) | | `mood` | select | Filter by mood (23 options) | | `timeRange` | select | `week`, `month`, `allTime` for trending | | `maxItems` | integer | Max records to return (1–500) | ### Example use cases 1. **Music discovery** — Trending tracks in Electronic genre this week 2. **Artist research** — All tracks by a specific Audius artist 3. **Playlist curation** — Find top playlists by keyword 4. **Market research** — Most-played tracks by genre and mood ### FAQ **Does this require an API key?** No. Audius has a fully public discovery API with no authentication required. **How fresh is the data?** Data is live from the Audius network at the time of scraping. **Can I get download links?** The `previewUrl` field provides a stream URL. The `downloadable` flag indicates if direct download is enabled. **What genres are available?** Electronic, Rock, Metal, Alternative, Hip-Hop/Rap, Pop, Jazz, Ambient, Lo-Fi, House, Techno, Trap, Drum & Bass, and 20+ more. **How many records can I get?** Up to 500 records per run. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch from Audius. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text query for modes: search, playlists. ## `userHandle` (type: `string`): Audius artist handle (e.g. 'deadmau5'). ## `genre` (type: `string`): Filter by genre. ## `mood` (type: `string`): Filter tracks by mood. ## `timeRange` (type: `string`): Period for trending calculation. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted records. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "trending", "searchQuery": "lo-fi beats", "timeRange": "week", "maxItems": 50 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `tracks` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped Audius records. # 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 = { "mode": "trending", "searchQuery": "lo-fi beats", "timeRange": "week", "maxItems": 50 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/audius-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 📖?
