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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Godot Asset Library Scraper Scrape the official [Godot Engine Asset Library](https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset) — thousands of free addons, shaders, tools, scripts, templates, projects and demos for the Godot game engine. Search by keyword or browse by category, engine version, license and support level. HTTP-only via the public Asset Library API. No auth, no proxy required. ### What this actor does - **Two modes:** `search` (keyword + filter browse) and `byIds` (direct asset ID lookup) - **Full filter surface:** category (10), asset type (addons vs projects), support level, Godot engine version (2.0 through 4.7), license, author, sort order - **Rich per-asset detail:** every record is enriched with the full asset detail payload (description, download URL, repo/issues links, preview images) — not just the summary listing row - **Empty fields are omitted** ### Output per asset - `assetId`, `title`, `description` - `type` — `addon` or `project` - `author`, `authorId` - `category`, `categoryId` - `godotVersion` — engine version compatibility - `rating` (0-5), `license`, `supportLevel` - `version`, `versionString`, `lastUpdated` - `iconUrl`, `previewImages[]` - `downloadUrl`, `downloadProvider`, `downloadCommit` (exact git commit/tag zipped for download, when the provider is GitHub), `browseUrl` (source repo), `issuesUrl` - `sourceUrl` — Asset Library detail page - `recordType: "asset"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `byIds` | | `searchQuery` | string | – | Keyword search over titles | | `category` | select | – | 2D Tools, 3D Tools, Shaders, Materials, Tools, Scripts, Misc, Templates, Projects, Demos | | `assetType` | select | `any` | `any` / `addon` / `project` | | `supportLevel` | select | – | `testing` / `community` / `featured` | | `godotVersion` | select | – | 2.0 – 4.7, `unknown`, `custom_build` — matches assets compatible with *at least* this version (upstream semantics), not an exact-version match | | `license` | select | – | 22 supported open-source licenses (MIT, GPLv3, Apache-2.0, CC0, …) | | `authorUsername` | string | – | Restrict to one publisher | | `sortBy` | select | `updated` | `updated` / `name` / `cost` — note: `updated` sorts newest-first by default upstream; set `reverse: true` for oldest-first | | `reverse` | boolean | `false` | Flip sort order | | `minRating` | integer | – | Drop assets rated below this (0-5) | | `assetIds` | array | – | Asset IDs or full URLs (mode=byIds) | | `maxItems` | integer | `20` | Hard cap (1-500) | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | off | Optional AUTO-group fallback if rate-limited | #### Example: browse recently updated 3D tools for Godot 4.x ```json { "mode": "search", "category": "2", "godotVersion": "4.3", "sortBy": "updated", "reverse": true, "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: keyword search ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "platformer", "assetType": "project", "maxItems": 30 } ``` #### Example: lookup specific assets ```json { "mode": "byIds", "assetIds": ["431", "5311"] } ``` ### Use cases - **Game dev tooling discovery** — find shaders, editor plugins and character controllers for a Godot project - **Ecosystem analytics** — track how many assets support each engine version or license - **Curated lists** — build a "best Godot addons" roundup filtered by support level - **Learning resources** — pull sample projects and demos by category - **License auditing** — verify an asset's license before bundling it in a commercial project ### FAQ **What's the Godot Asset Library?** The official, in-editor addon and project marketplace for the open-source Godot game engine, browsable at godotengine.org/asset-library. **Is it free?** Yes — every asset on the Library is free and open-source; the `license` field tells you exactly which license applies. **What's the difference between an addon and a project?** Addons are plugins/scripts/shaders you import into an existing project; projects are complete downloadable demos or templates you open directly in Godot. **Why does `godotVersion: "4.3"` also return assets tagged `4.0`?** The Asset Library API filters by minimum compatible version, not exact match — this is upstream behavior, confirmed against the live API. **Why is `rating` almost always 0?** The Asset Library's star-rating system currently sees very light community use — this is real upstream data, not a scraper bug. **Why do `testing`/`featured` support-level filters sometimes return 0 results?** Those curation tiers are used sparingly by the Godot team at any given time; `community` covers the vast majority of listed assets. **Can I get download links?** Yes — `downloadUrl` points directly at the asset's zip/archive, and `browseUrl` links to its source repository (usually GitHub). **Why did category 8/9/10 (Templates/Projects/Demos) return 0 results when I also set `assetType: "addon"`?** Those three categories only ever contain `project`-type assets upstream (Templates/Projects/Demos are full downloadable projects, never addons), so narrowing to both `assetType: "addon"` and one of those categories is a contradictory combination that legitimately has zero matches. Leave `assetType` on its default (`any`) when picking one of those categories, or set `assetType: "project"`. **How fresh is the data?** Real-time — every request hits the live Asset Library API, covering the full current catalog (~5,000+ assets across all engine versions). # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text keyword search over asset titles (mode=search). Leave empty to browse by filters only. ## `category` (type: `string`): Restrict to one Asset Library category. ## `assetType` (type: `string`): Addons (plugins/scripts/shaders) vs full downloadable projects (templates/projects/demos). ## `supportLevel` (type: `string`): Community-maintained, testing, or officially featured assets. Note: at present the overwhelming majority of listed assets are community-level; testing/featured may return 0 results depending on current curation. ## `godotVersion` (type: `string`): Restrict to assets compatible with at least this Godot engine version (upstream API semantics: minimum version, not exact match — e.g. `4.3` also returns assets tagged `4.0`+). ## `license` (type: `string`): Restrict to assets published under a specific license. ## `authorUsername` (type: `string`): Restrict to assets published by a specific Asset Library username. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Ordering applied by the Asset Library API. ## `reverse` (type: `boolean`): Flip the sort order (e.g. oldest-updated first, Z-A). ## `minRating` (type: `integer`): Drop assets rated below this (0-5). Most assets currently show a rating of 0 as the platform's rating system sees light use. ## `assetIds` (type: `array`): Godot Asset Library numeric asset IDs, or full asset-library URLs. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted records. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. The public API works without a proxy; this is only used as an automatic fallback if Apify's IPs get rate-limited (403/429). AUTO datacenter group only — no residential proxy is ever used. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "", "assetType": "any", "sortBy": "updated", "reverse": false, "assetIds": [], "maxItems": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `assets` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped Godot Asset Library assets. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
