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 ## Esports Earnings Scraper Scrape **EsportsEarnings.com** — the leading cross-game esports prize-money database. Get top players and teams by career earnings (overall or filtered to a single game), the top games by total prize pool awarded, and tournament-by-tournament results for any tracked game. HTTP-only, no login or API key required. ### What this actor does - **Five modes:** `topPlayers`, `topTeams`, `topGames`, `tournaments`, `topPlayersByCountry` - **Top players** ranked by career earnings — overall across all games, or filtered to a single game - **Top teams** ranked by career earnings — overall, or filtered to a single game - **Top games** ranked by total prize money ever awarded, with player and tournament counts - **Tournament results** for a chosen game, ranked by prize pool - **Top players by country** — cross-game career-earnings leaderboard for any of 182 countries - 28 popular games available as a dropdown, plus a free-text override for any other tracked game - Empty fields are omitted from every record ### Output per player (recordType = `player`) - `rank`, `handle`, `realName`, `playerId` - `country`, `countryCode` - `totalEarningsUsd` — career earnings (game-specific total when `game` filter is set, otherwise overall total) - `highestPayingGame`, `highestPayingGameEarningsUsd` — only present when no `game` filter is set - `percentOfTotal`, `game` (only present when a `game` filter is set) - `sourceUrl`, `recordType: "player"`, `scrapedAt` ### Output per team (recordType = `team`) - `rank`, `teamName`, `teamId` - `totalEarningsUsd`, `tournamentCount` - `game` (only present when a `game` filter is set) - `sourceUrl`, `recordType: "team"`, `scrapedAt` ### Output per game (recordType = `game`) - `rank`, `gameName`, `gameSlug` - `totalPrizeMoneyUsd`, `playerCount`, `tournamentCount` - `sourceUrl`, `recordType: "game"`, `scrapedAt` ### Output per tournament (recordType = `tournament`) - `rank`, `tournamentName`, `tournamentId`, `eventName` - `prizePoolUsd`, `teamCount`, `playerCount`, `game` - `sourceUrl`, `recordType: "tournament"`, `scrapedAt` ### Output per player by country (recordType = `player`, mode=topPlayersByCountry) - `rank`, `handle`, `realName`, `playerId` - `country`, `countryCode` - `totalEarningsUsd` — career earnings across all games - `sourceUrl`, `recordType: "player"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `topPlayers` | `topPlayers` / `topTeams` / `topGames` / `tournaments` / `topPlayersByCountry` | | `game` | string | – | Filter to one game (dropdown of 28 popular titles). Leave blank for overall/cross-game rankings on `topPlayers`/`topTeams`. Required for `tournaments`. | | `country` | string | – | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (dropdown of 182 countries). Required for `topPlayersByCountry`. | | `gameCustom` | string | – | Any game in `{numericId}-{slug}` form, for games not in the `game` dropdown. Overrides `game`. | | `maxItems` | integer | `30` | Maximum number of records to return (1–500) | ### Examples #### Example: top players overall ```json { "mode": "topPlayers", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: top Dota 2 players ```json { "mode": "topPlayers", "game": "231-dota-2", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: top games by total prize pool ```json { "mode": "topGames", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: largest Counter-Strike 2 tournaments ```json { "mode": "tournaments", "game": "839-counter-strike-2", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: using a game not in the dropdown ```json { "mode": "topPlayers", "gameCustom": "654-arena-of-valor", "maxItems": 30 } ``` #### Example: top earning esports players from Brazil ```json { "mode": "topPlayersByCountry", "country": "br", "maxItems": 25 } ``` ### Use cases - **Esports journalism** — automate top-earner leaderboards and tournament recap tables - **Talent scouting & team management** — track player and team career earnings across games - **Sponsorship analytics** — identify the highest-prize-pool games and top-earning teams to target for partnerships - **Fan platforms & fantasy esports** — power leaderboards and player profile pages with live earnings data - **Market research** — compare total prize money across games and genres over time ### FAQ **What is the data source?** All data comes from the public pages of [EsportsEarnings.com](https://www.esportsearnings.com), a long-running independent database of competitive gaming tournament results and prize money. **Is this actor affiliated with Esports Earnings?** No — this is an independent, third-party actor that reads publicly available pages. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Esports Earnings. **How do I find a game's ID-slug for `gameCustom`?** Visit the game's page on esportsearnings.com and copy the last part of the URL — e.g. `esportsearnings.com/games/654-arena-of-valor` → `654-arena-of-valor`. The numeric ID prefix is required by the source site. **Why do some player records have `highestPayingGame` and others don't?** When no `game` filter is set, the actor returns each player's single highest-earning game alongside their overall total. When a `game` filter is set, every record is already scoped to that game, so the field is omitted as redundant. **Is `topGames` limited to 100 games?** Yes — the source site's top-games list is a single unpaginated page covering the top 100 games by total prize money, so `maxItems` above 100 will return at most 100 records for this mode. **How deep does pagination go for `topPlayers` / `topTeams` / `tournaments`?** esportsearnings.com itself caps the depth of each listing (independent of this actor): overall (no `game` filter) `topPlayers` goes to rank 1000; overall `topTeams` and any per-game `topPlayers` / `topTeams` / `tournaments` listing goes to rank/prize-pool position 500. Requesting a `maxItems` beyond a listing's real depth simply returns however many real records exist — the actor detects the source's own repeated-last-page behavior past that cap and stops cleanly rather than emitting duplicates. **Is `topPlayersByCountry` limited too?** Yes — the source's per-country breakdown page shows a fixed top-25 leaderboard per country and does not paginate further. **How fresh is the data?** Every run fetches the live page directly from esportsearnings.com at request time — there is no caching. **How is `totalEarningsUsd` calculated?** It mirrors whatever the source site displays: career earnings in US dollars, either overall (across every game a player/team has competed in) or scoped to a single game when the `game` filter is set. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch from Esports Earnings. ## `game` (type: `string`): Filter to a specific game. Leave blank on topPlayers/topTeams for cross-game overall rankings. Required for mode=tournaments.

Returns that country's top-earning players, cross-game (esportsearnings.com's per-country breakdown page). ## `gameCustom` (type: `string`): Any esportsearnings.com game in `{numericId}-{slug}` form (e.g. `654-arena-of-valor`), for games not in the `game` dropdown. Overrides `game` when set. Find the ID-slug in the game's esportsearnings.com URL. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "topPlayers", "game": "", "country": "us", "maxItems": 30 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped Esports Earnings players, teams, games, and tournaments. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
