# Rick and Morty API Scraper (`crawlerbros/rick-and-morty-scraper`) Actor Scrape the Rick and Morty API - all 826 characters, 51 episodes, and 126 locations from the show. Filter characters by status (alive/dead), species, gender. Filter episodes by season/episode code. Returns character appearances, episode casts, and location resident counts. - **URL**: https://apify.com/crawlerbros/rick-and-morty-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Crawler Bros](https://apify.com/crawlerbros) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Developer tools, Integrations - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $3.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ./README.md # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `name` (type: `string`): Filter by name (partial match). Works for characters, episodes, and locations. ## `status` (type: `string`): Filter characters by status (mode=characters). ## `species` (type: `string`): Filter characters by species (e.g. 'Human', 'Alien', 'Robot', 'Cronenberg'). ## `gender` (type: `string`): Filter characters by gender. ## `episode` (type: `string`): Filter episodes by code (e.g. 'S01E01', 'S02'). Used with mode=episodes. ## `locationType` (type: `string`): Filter locations by type (e.g. 'Planet', 'Microverse', 'Fantasy Town'). ## `dimension` (type: `string`): Filter locations by dimension (e.g. 'Dimension C-137', 'Unknown'). ## `characterId` (type: `integer`): Specific character ID (mode=byCharacterId). ## `characterIds` (type: `array`): Multiple character IDs (mode=byCharacterId). ## `episodeId` (type: `integer`): Specific episode ID (mode=byEpisodeId). ## `episodeIds` (type: `array`): Multiple episode IDs. ## `locationId` (type: `integer`): Specific location ID (mode=byLocationId). ## `locationIds` (type: `array`): Multiple location IDs. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to emit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "characters", "status": "", "gender": "", "characterIds": [], "episodeIds": [], "locationIds": [], "maxItems": 50 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `items` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped 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": "characters", "maxItems": 50 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/rick-and-morty-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 📖?
