Metacritic Scraper

Scrape Metacritic movies and TV shows by search query, slug, full URL, genre, year, or browse listing. The actor can return both lightweight list records and enriched detail records with Metascore, user score, synopsis, cast, and release metadata.

Quick Start

Choose a mode such as popular, search, byTitle, or byUrl.
Pick movie or tv.
Keep fetchDetail=true if you want richer output fields.
Set maxItems to the smallest number you need for faster runs.

Supported Modes

search
byTitle
byUrl
byGenre
byYear
popular
topRated
trending

Typical Input

{
  "platform": "metacritic",
  "mode": "popular",
  "mediaType": "movie",
  "fetchDetail": true,
  "maxItems": 10
}

Example Search Input

{
  "platform": "metacritic",
  "mode": "search",
  "mediaType": "movie",
  "searchQuery": "oppenheimer",
  "maxItems": 5
}

Output

Depending on the mode and whether fetchDetail is enabled, records can include:

Identity: slug, url, title, mediaType, recordType
Ratings: metascore, userScore, rating
Release fields: releaseDate, year
Descriptive fields: synopsis, genres, directors, cast, contentRating
Audit fields: platform, scrapedAt

Empty placeholder fields are omitted.

Reliability Notes

The actor prefers direct HTTP and automatically escalates to Apify proxy when Metacritic blocks with transient HTTP responses.
Daily-test-friendly prefills use broad, positive-yield browse/search scenarios.
fetchDetail=true gives the richest output and is recommended for production runs.

FAQ

Can I pass full Metacritic URLs?
