## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 📊 Eurostat Datasets Scraper

Want Eurostat datasets without clicking through the catalogue? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** (keywords, theme, record type) — better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`**. Get clean CSV/JSON with codes, titles, databrowser links, and update dates.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Researchers & analysts:** Find datasets by theme or keyword.
- **Data engineers:** Build catalogues of Eurostat codes and URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power bots with live Eurostat dataset search.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed titles and codes into retrieval pipelines.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste a databrowser/product URL, or use structured filters.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Keywords, theme, datasets vs tables, sort.
- 📦 **Rich fields:** Code, title, databrowser URL, last update, time coverage.

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Filters**

1. Set keywords (e.g. `asylum`) and/or a theme.
2. Set `max_items` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Input URL**

1. Open a dataset in [Eurostat Data Browser](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/) or search.
2. Paste the URL into `input_url`.
3. Start the run.

# Actor input Schema

## `input_url` (type: `string`):

Optional. Paste a databrowser / product / dataset search URL. A product or databrowser URL scrapes that single dataset.

## `keywords` (type: `string`):

Search text (title or code). With keywords and no theme, uses Eurostat search. With theme, filters the official catalogue.

## `theme` (type: `string`):

Optional theme from the Eurostat database tree / search facets.

## `record_type` (type: `string`):

Catalogue record type (TOC). Ignored in keyword search mode.

## `sort_by` (type: `string`):

Result order for keyword search mode.

## `max_items` (type: `integer`):

How many datasets/tables to return (1–2000).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": "asylum",
  "theme": "",
  "record_type": "Datasets and tables",
  "sort_by": "Publication date",
  "max_items": 50
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `overview` (type: `string`):

Table view of scraped items using the dataset 'overview' view.

## `results` (type: `string`):

All scraped items from the default dataset without view transformation.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": "asylum"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dadhalfdev/eurostat-datasets-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);
});

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "keywords": "asylum" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("dadhalfdev/eurostat-datasets-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "keywords": "asylum"
}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/eurostat-datasets-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dadhalfdev/eurostat-datasets-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
