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 ## Nomadlist Scraper Extract city rankings, cost-of-living data, and digital nomad scores from [Nomadlist.com](https://nomadlist.com) — the world's most popular resource for digital nomads to find the best cities to live and work remotely. ### What Does It Do? This actor scrapes Nomadlist to retrieve: - City rankings with overall and nomad scores - Monthly cost of living estimates - Internet speed, safety, temperature, and quality-of-life metrics - Nomad population counts ### Input | Field | Type | Description | Default | |-------|------|-------------|---------| | `mode` | Select | `cities`, `city`, or `trending` | `cities` | | `continent` | Select | Filter by continent | — | | `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum cities to return (1–500) | 50 | **Example Input** ```json {"mode": "cities", "maxItems": 50} ```` ### Output | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `citySlug` | URL slug identifier | | `cityName` | City name | | `country` | Country name | | `continent` | Continent | | `overallScore` | Overall rating (0–5) | | `nomadScore` | Nomad-specific score | | `monthlyCostUsd` | Estimated monthly cost in USD | | `internetSpeedMbps` | Average internet speed in Mbps | | `temperatureC` | Average temperature in Celsius | | `safetyScore` | Safety rating | | `population` | City population | | `nomadsCount` | Number of nomads currently in city | | `cityUrl` | City page URL | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp | ### FAQs **How accurate is the cost of living data?**\ Data is crowd-sourced from digital nomads. Treat figures as estimates. **Does Nomadlist block scrapers?**\ Nomadlist has Cloudflare protection. The actor uses a fallback list of popular cities when live scraping is blocked. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `citySlug` (type: `string`): Nomadlist city slug (mode=city), e.g. chiang-mai, lisbon, bali. ## `continent` (type: `string`): Filter cities by continent. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of city records to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "cities", "continent": "", "maxItems": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `cities` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped city records. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "mode": "cities", "continent": "", "maxItems": 50 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/nomadlist-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
