## 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.

# README

## Splunkbase Scraper

Scrape [Splunkbase](https://splunkbase.splunk.com) — Splunk's official app and add-on marketplace. Search apps by query or category, or fetch specific apps by ID.

- **Search filters:** free-text query, category filter (25 categories)
- **Enriched metadata:** per-app detail and release history fetched automatically
- **Real data:** download counts, version, compatible Splunk versions, compliance flags (FedRAMP, FIPS), cloud compatibility

### FAQ

**Does this require a Splunk account?**
No. Splunkbase's public REST API (`/api/v1/app/`) is accessible without authentication for public apps.

**Does it use proxies?**
No proxies are needed. The Splunkbase API returns JSON from standard datacenter IPs.

**What's the difference between `app` and `addon`?**
Splunk "apps" are full applications with dashboards and UI. "Add-ons" are technology add-ons (TAs) that provide data inputs and field extractions without a standalone UI.

**How do I find an app's ID?**
Look at the Splunkbase URL: `splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1876/` — the number is the ID.

**How many apps can I scrape?**
Splunkbase has 3,000+ apps. Set `maxItems` up to 10,000 for a full crawl.

**Are rating/review fields included?**
The API returns rating data when available. Many apps have no reviews, so these fields are omitted when empty.
