## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## New Relic Instant Observability Scraper

Extract data from the [New Relic Instant Observability (I/O) catalog](https://newrelic.com/instant-observability) — 785+ quickstarts, integrations, and dashboards for monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and services.

### What does this scraper do?

This actor fetches metadata from New Relic's public quickstarts repository on GitHub. Each quickstart record includes its title, description, summary, authors, keywords, categories, dashboard count, alert policy count, documentation links, and icon URL — all without requiring any API key or authentication.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `mode` | select | **Required.** `search` (default) or `getBySlug` |
| `query` | string | Keyword to filter by (mode=search). Matches title, description, keywords, slug |
| `category` | select | Category filter: `alerts`, `apm`, `cloud`, `infrastructure`, `kubernetes`, etc. |
| `level` | select | Quickstart level: `New Relic`, `Verified`, `Community` |
| `slugs` | array | List of quickstart slugs to fetch (mode=getBySlug) |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max records to emit (1–10000, default 100) |

#### Example: Search for AWS integrations

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "aws",
  "maxItems": 50
}
````

#### Example: Get specific quickstarts by slug

```json
{
  "mode": "getBySlug",
  "slugs": ["docker", "amazon-bedrock", "active-directory"],
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

#### Example: Browse Kubernetes quickstarts (Verified)

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "kubernetes",
  "level": "Verified",
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

### Output

Each record contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `id` | string | Unique quickstart UUID |
| `slug` | string | URL-friendly identifier (e.g. `active-directory`) |
| `title` | string | Display name of the quickstart |
| `level` | string | Verification level: `New Relic`, `Verified`, or `Community` |
| `description` | string | Full description (Markdown) |
| `summary` | string | Short one-liner summary |
| `authors` | array | List of author names |
| `keywords` | array | Tags and keywords associated with this quickstart |
| `dataSourceIds` | array | IDs of the data sources used |
| `dashboards` | array | Dashboard names included |
| `dashboardCount` | integer | Number of dashboards |
| `alertPolicies` | array | Alert policy names included |
| `alertPolicyCount` | integer | Number of alert policies |
| `documentation` | array | Documentation links with name, url, and description |
| `iconUrl` | string | Full URL to the quickstart's icon image |
| `sourceUrl` | string | GitHub URL to the quickstart folder |
| `recordType` | string | Always `quickstart` |
| `scrapedAt` | string | UTC ISO 8601 timestamp of when the record was scraped |

### FAQ

**Does this require an API key?**
No. The New Relic quickstarts catalog is public on GitHub. No New Relic account or API key is needed.

**How many quickstarts are available?**
As of May 2026, there are 785+ quickstarts covering AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, databases, APM agents, security tools, and more.

**What's the difference between modes?**

- `search`: scans all 785+ quickstarts and applies your keyword/category/level filters. Best for discovery.
- `getBySlug`: fetches exact quickstarts when you know their slugs. Best for targeted lookups.

**What is a "quickstart slug"?**
The slug is the folder name in the GitHub repo. For example, `docker`, `active-directory`, `amazon-bedrock`. You can find slugs by browsing [github.com/newrelic/newrelic-quickstarts/tree/main/quickstarts](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-quickstarts/tree/main/quickstarts).

**Why are some records missing fields like `dashboardCount`?**
Not all quickstarts include dashboards or alerts. Fields are only emitted when data is present (omit-empty policy).

**Is this rate-limited?**
The actor uses the public GitHub API (unauthenticated, 60 requests/hour) for the slug list, then fetches raw YAML files directly from `raw.githubusercontent.com` with a 50ms delay between requests.

### Data Source
