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 ## RapidAPI Hub Scraper Scrape the [RapidAPI Hub](https://rapidapi.com/hub) — the largest API marketplace, listing 40,000+ public APIs across Data, AI/ML, Finance, Social, Travel, and dozens more categories. Search by keyword, browse by category, list everything a given provider has published, or fetch one API by ID. No auth, no API key, no proxy required. ### What this actor does - **Four modes:** `search`, `byCategory`, `byProvider`, `byId` - **Search** across 40,000+ APIs by free-text query, with category and pricing filters - **Browse** any of RapidAPI's 52 hub categories - **List** every public API published by a given provider (individual or organization) - **Lookup** a single API by its internal ID for a detail record - **Reliability & popularity scores** on every API: popularity, avg latency, avg success rate, avg service level - **Empty fields are omitted** ### Output per API - `name`, `description`, `longDescription` (`byProvider`/`byId` modes only) - `websiteUrl` — the API provider's own website (`byProvider`/`byId` modes only) - `category` - `provider`, `providerHandle`, `providerType` (`User` or `Organization`) - `pricingModel` — `FREE`, `FREEMIUM`, or `PAID` - `popularityScore` (0–10), `avgLatencyMs`, `avgServiceLevel` (%), `avgSuccessRate` (%) - `apiType` — e.g. `rest`, `graphql`, `soap` - `verified` — `true` if RapidAPI has tagged the API with its verification checkmark badge - `officialPartner` — `true` if RapidAPI has tagged the API as an official partner integration - `thumbnail` - `apiId`, `apiSlug` - `updatedAt` - `sourceUrl` — canonical rapidapi.com detail page - `recordType: "rapidApiHubItem"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `byCategory` / `byProvider` / `byId` | | `searchQuery` | string | – (prefill `weather`) | Free-text query (mode=search); optional if `category`/`pricingModel` supplied instead | | `category` | string | – | Restrict to one hub category (search filter, or required for byCategory — defaults to `Data`) | | `pricingModel` | string | `any` | `any` / `FREE` / `FREEMIUM` / `PAID` | | `providerHandle` | string | – | Provider username/handle, e.g. `weatherapi` (mode=byProvider) | | `providerType` | string | `User` | `User` or `Organization` (auto-retries the other type on 0 results) | | `apiId` | string | – | RapidAPI internal API ID (mode=byId), from another mode's `apiId` field | | `minPopularityScore` | number | – | Drop APIs with popularity below this (0–10) | | `maxItems` | int | `30` | Hard cap (1–500) | #### Example: free LinkedIn-data APIs ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "linkedin", "pricingModel": "FREE", "maxItems": 30 } ```` #### Example: browse the AI/ML category ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "category": "Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: everything WeatherAPI.com has published ```json { "mode": "byProvider", "providerHandle": "weatherapi", "providerType": "User" } ``` ### Use cases - **API sourcing** — find a reliable weather/payments/social API before integrating one into your product - **Competitive intelligence** — see how many APIs a competitor provider has published and how they're priced - **Market mapping** — enumerate every provider in a category (e.g. all LinkedIn-scraping APIs) with reliability scores - **Pricing research** — compare FREE vs FREEMIUM vs PAID distribution within a category - **Reliability due-diligence** — check `avgSuccessRate`/`avgLatencyMs` before committing to an API dependency ### FAQ **What's the RapidAPI Hub?** A marketplace where developers publish and monetize APIs; other developers subscribe through RapidAPI's unified gateway. See [rapidapi.com/hub](https://rapidapi.com/hub). **Do I need a RapidAPI account or API key?** No. All data comes from RapidAPI's own public, unauthenticated GraphQL endpoint — the same one the rapidapi.com website itself calls to render search/browse pages. **What does `pricingModel` mean?** `FREE` — no paid tier exists. `FREEMIUM` — a free tier plus paid tiers for higher volume/features. `PAID` — subscription required from the first call. The actor reports what RapidAPI itself shows; it does not scrape per-tier dollar amounts. **What's `popularityScore`?** RapidAPI's own 0–10 ranking signal, factoring in subscriber/install counts. **How do I get an `apiId` for mode=byId?** Run `search` or `byCategory` first — every result record includes an `apiId` field you can feed back in. **Why do some categories look duplicated (e.g. "Travel" and "Travel, Transportation")?** RapidAPI's own category taxonomy has some overlapping/legacy labels; the actor exposes the real values exactly as the Hub returns them rather than silently merging them. **How fresh is the data?** Real-time — every mode reads directly from RapidAPI's live GraphQL API. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text query (mode=search). Matches API names and descriptions. Optional if `category` and/or `pricingModel` are supplied instead — mode=search then behaves like an unfiltered-by-keyword browse (same as mode=byCategory, but also honoring `pricingModel`). Leave blank with no other filters and the actor falls back to a sensible default query so the daily test always returns data. ## `category` (type: `string`): Restrict results to one RapidAPI Hub category (mode=search filter, or required-ish for mode=byCategory — defaults to Data). ## `pricingModel` (type: `string`): Filter by pricing model. ## `providerHandle` (type: `string`): RapidAPI provider username/handle as it appears in the URL, e.g. `weatherapi` for rapidapi.com/weatherapi. ## `providerType` (type: `string`): Whether the handle belongs to an individual user or an organization/team. The actor auto-retries the other type if the first lookup returns nothing. ## `apiId` (type: `string`): RapidAPI internal API ID, e.g. `api_a177b595-95c3-493e-ab0d-fb3e719dac07` — obtained from the `apiId` field of `search`/`byCategory`/`byProvider` results. ## `minPopularityScore` (type: `number`): Drop APIs with a popularity score below this (0-10 scale). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted records. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "weather", "pricingModel": "any", "providerHandle": "weatherapi", "providerType": "User", "maxItems": 30 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `items` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped RapidAPI Hub APIs. # 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": "search", "searchQuery": "weather", "pricingModel": "any", "providerHandle": "weatherapi", "providerType": "User", "maxItems": 30 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/rapidapi-hub-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 📖?
