## 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.

### FAQs

**Does this require a Roblox account or API key?**
No. All data is fetched from Roblox's public APIs which require no authentication.

**What is a universe ID?**
The universe ID is Roblox's internal game identifier. You can find it in the URL of the Roblox game page or via the search API results.

**Can I filter games by genre?**
Yes — use the `genre` select input. Available genres include: All, Tutorial, Funny, Scary, War, Pirate, RPG, Sci-Fi, Building, Sports, Town and City, Fantasy, Adventure, Horror.

**How many items can I scrape per run?**
Up to 1000 records per run (set via `maxItems`). Roblox's search API returns up to 100 games per page.

**What does `minVisits` do?**
It filters out games with fewer total visits than the specified threshold. Useful for finding only popular, established games.
