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 ## Canva Template Scraper Extract rich metadata from **Canva.com templates** — title, description, image, color palette, fonts, size, creator info, and breadcrumbs. Perfect for design research, template indexing, and market intelligence. ### Features - **17 output fields** per template - **Color palette extraction** — all template colors in hex format - **Font list** — fonts used in the design - **Size & dimensions** — category (e.g., Instagram Post) and pixels (e.g., 1080 × 1080 px) - **Creator info** — name, slug, profile URL, avatar - **Breadcrumbs** — category hierarchy - **No proxy needed** — Chrome TLS impersonation bypasses Cloudflare - **Fast HTTP-only** — no browser, ~1 second per template - **No nulls** — every field has a typed default ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `templateUrls` | Array | Canva template URLs (e.g., `https://www.canva.com/p/templates/EAE2D4Zdd5M-baby-instagram-template/`) | | `maxItems` | Integer | Max templates to scrape (default 20) | #### Example Input ```json { "templateUrls": [ "https://www.canva.com/p/templates/EAE2D4Zdd5M-baby-instagram-template/" ], "maxItems": 10 } ```` ### Output Each template has **17 fields**: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `id` | String | Canva template ID | | `slug` | String | URL slug | | `url` | String | Template URL | | `title` | String | Template title | | `description` | String | Short description | | `image` | String | Full-size template image (1600w) | | `imageThumbnail` | String | Thumbnail image | | `colors` | Array | Color palette (hex strings) | | `fonts` | Array | Fonts used in the template | | `size` | String | Category (e.g., `Instagram Post`) | | `dimensions` | String | Pixel dimensions (e.g., `1080 x 1080 px`) | | `breadcrumbs` | Array | Category breadcrumbs | | `creatorName` | String | Creator name | | `creatorSlug` | String | Creator profile slug | | `creatorUrl` | String | Creator profile URL | | `creatorAvatar` | String | Creator avatar image | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 scrape timestamp | #### Example Output ```json { "id": "EAE2D4Zdd5M", "slug": "baby-instagram-template", "url": "https://www.canva.com/p/templates/EAE2D4Zdd5M-baby-instagram-template/", "title": "Baby Instagram Template", "description": "Use this customizable Baby Instagram Template...", "image": "https://template.canva.com/EAE2D4Zdd5M/1/0/1600w-fcw840AqWBM.jpg", "colors": ["#f1f1ef", "#b9e4e9", "#d17dbc", "#ebb0a7", "#f9e487"], "fonts": ["Blueberry", "Cerebri", "Beautiful"], "size": "Instagram Post", "dimensions": "1080 x 1080 px", "breadcrumbs": ["Templates"], "creatorName": "Azruca", "creatorSlug": "azruca", "creatorUrl": "https://www.canva.com/p/azruca/", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-10T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### FAQ **Q: How does it bypass Cloudflare?** The scraper uses curl\_cffi with Chrome 131 TLS impersonation. This makes requests indistinguishable from a real browser at the TLS fingerprint level, so Cloudflare's WAF lets them through. **Q: Where does the data come from?** All fields are extracted from the embedded `window['bootstrap']` JSON blob on each template page, plus OpenGraph meta tags as fallback. This blob contains the complete rendered template data. **Q: Can I search for templates?** Not in this version — you need to provide direct template URLs. To discover URLs, browse templates on canva.com and copy the URLs. **Q: Are colors accurate?** Yes — colors come directly from the template's stored color palette in Canva's bootstrap JSON, not guessed from the HTML. ### Use Cases - **Design research** — analyze color and font trends across template categories - **Template indexing** — build a searchable database of Canva templates - **Market intelligence** — track popular creators and template styles - **Reference library** — catalog templates for internal design teams # Actor input Schema ## `templateUrls` (type: `array`): Direct Canva template URLs to scrape (e.g., https://www.canva.com/p/templates/EAE2D4Zdd5M-baby-instagram-template/). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of templates to scrape. ## Actor input object example ```json { "templateUrls": [ "https://www.canva.com/p/templates/EAE2D4Zdd5M-baby-instagram-template/" ], "maxItems": 1 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `templates` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
