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 ## Tourist Attractions & Museums Scraper – OpenStreetMap Extract **tourist attractions, museums, galleries and public artworks from OpenStreetMap** by area, radius, or name — **no API key, no ticketing-site scraping, no anti-bot battles**. Open, legal (ODbL) data you can redistribute. Give it an area like `"Florence, Italy"` and get back tidy rows for every attraction: name, **attraction type**, entry **fee**, **Wikidata & Wikipedia links**, website, full address, coordinates, and the raw OpenStreetMap tags. You can also search **around a landmark** (everything within X km) or **filter by name** (e.g. every `"National"` museum). ### Why use this scraper? - **Built-in Wikidata & Wikipedia links.** Many attractions carry a `wikidata` QID and `wikipedia` article — perfect for enrichment, knowledge graphs, and AI/RAG pipelines. We surface them directly. - **Tourism-specific fields.** `attraction_type`, `fee`, operator and accessibility — parsed out of the OpenStreetMap tags. - **Legal & open.** OpenStreetMap data is ODbL-licensed — redistributable with attribution. No login, no ticketing-platform Terms-of-Service issues. - **No API key.** No tourism/maps developer account, no quota. - **Search by area, radius, or name.** A whole city/region, everything within X metres of a landmark, or every place matching a name. - **Filter by type.** Museums only, or galleries + artworks, etc. - **No duplicates.** When OpenStreetMap maps one site twice (a node and an outline), you get a single, richer row. - **Honest data.** Every value comes straight from OpenStreetMap; anything not mapped is left empty (`null`) — never guessed. - **Global coverage & reliable.** Anywhere OSM has data; retries across multiple Overpass mirrors. ### Great for - Travel apps, itinerary & trip planners, city-guide datasets - Tourism market research and cultural/heritage mapping - Knowledge-graph / RAG enrichment (via the Wikidata/Wikipedia links) - Things-to-do directories and dashboards ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `area` | string | Place to search within, e.g. `"Rome, Italy"`. Geocoded to a bounding box. | | `aroundLocation` | string | *(optional)* Landmark/place to search **around** within a radius. Pair with `radiusMeters`. | | `radiusMeters` | integer | *(optional)* Radius in metres for around-a-location search (default `5000`). | | `centerPoint` | object | *(advanced)* Explicit center `{ "lat":.., "lon":.. }` to search around. | | `boundingBox` | object | *(advanced)* Explicit `{ "south":.., "west":.., "north":.., "east":.. }`. Overrides `area`. | | `attractionTypes` | array | *(optional)* Which types to include: `attraction`, `museum`, `gallery`, `artwork`, `theme_park`, `zoo`, `viewpoint`. Default: all. | | `searchTerm` | string | *(optional)* Only return places whose **name** contains this text (case-insensitive), e.g. `"National"`. | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of attractions to return (default `1000`). | #### Example input ```json { "area": "Florence, Italy", "attractionTypes": ["attraction", "museum", "gallery"], "maxResults": 500 } ```` Every museum within 3 km of a landmark: ```json { "aroundLocation": "Colosseum, Rome", "radiusMeters": 3000, "attractionTypes": ["museum"] } ``` ### Output One row per attraction: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `name` | Attraction name | | `attraction_type` | attraction / museum / gallery / artwork / theme\_park / zoo / viewpoint | | `fee` | Entry fee flag (yes / no / donation / unknown) | | `wikidata` | Wikidata QID (e.g. `Q2723633`) | | `wikipedia` | Wikipedia article (e.g. `en:Charles Dickens Museum`) | | `operator`, `brand` | Operator (e.g. National Trust) and brand | | `branch` | Branch / location name of a chain outlet (OSM `branch`), e.g. `Times Square`; null when not a tagged branch | | `wheelchair` | Accessibility | | `latitude`, `longitude` | Coordinates | | `street`, `housenumber`, `city`, `postcode`, `country` | Address | | `state` | State / province (`addr:state` / `addr:province`); common in US/CA/AU, null where not tagged | | `phone`, `email`, `website`, `opening_hours` | Contact + hours | | `osm_id`, `osm_type`, `all_tags`, `source_url` | OpenStreetMap identifiers, raw tags, and link | | `full_address` | All present address parts in one string (e.g. `Main St 1, 10115 Berlin`) | | `map_url` | Google Maps link to the coordinates | #### Example output ```json { "name": "Charles Dickens Museum", "attraction_type": "museum", "fee": "yes", "wikidata": "Q2723633", "wikipedia": "en:Charles Dickens Museum", "operator": null, "city": "London", "country": "GB", "website": "https://example.test", "opening_hours": "Tu-Su 10:00-17:00", "latitude": 51.5234, "longitude": -0.1166, "osm_type": "way", "source_url": "https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/..." } ``` Any field is `null` when the attraction hasn't tagged it in OpenStreetMap — values are never guessed. ### FAQ **Do I need an API key or account?** No — give it an area (plus optional radius/name filters) and run. No data-provider key, no quota, no setup. **Is the data legal to use and redistribute?** Yes. It comes from OpenStreetMap under the Open Database License (ODbL): public data you can redistribute with attribution (© OpenStreetMap contributors). No logins, no Terms-of-Service violations. **How is this different from a Google Maps or TripAdvisor scraper?** It uses open OpenStreetMap data instead of scraping a site behind anti-bot defenses and Terms of Service — so it's legal, needs no API key, and returns an honest `null` for anything OSM hasn't mapped instead of guessing. Each attraction also carries its Wikidata/Wikipedia links where mapped. **How much does it cost?** Pay-per-result: **$3 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for the rows you actually get. **Which countries does it cover?** Worldwide — anywhere OpenStreetMap has data. **How fresh is the data?** It's pulled live from OpenStreetMap at run time, so it reflects the current map. ### Data source & license Data comes from **OpenStreetMap** via the public **Nominatim** (geocoding) and **Overpass** (querying) APIs. OpenStreetMap data is **© OpenStreetMap contributors**, licensed under the **Open Database License (ODbL)**. If you publish or redistribute results, attribute "© OpenStreetMap contributors". ### Notes - Coverage and tag richness vary by region — OSM is community-mapped, so cities are richer than rural areas. - `wikidata` / `wikipedia` are present only where the OSM community has added them (a large share of notable attractions do). ### More OpenStreetMap data actors Part of **dataquarry**'s family of clean, ODbL OpenStreetMap extractors — same flexible **area / radius / bounding-box / name** search, same honest-null data (a field that isn't mapped is left empty, never guessed): - [OpenStreetMap Places Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/osm-places-scraper) — POI & local business, 115+ categories - [EV Charging Stations Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/ev-charging-stations) — socket types, power (kW), networks - [Hotels & Lodging Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/hotels-lodging) — stars, rooms, brands - [Healthcare Facilities Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/healthcare-facilities) — pharmacies, doctors, dentists, clinics - [Tourist Attractions & Museums Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/tourist-attractions) — Wikidata & Wikipedia links - [Fuel Station Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/fuel-stations) — fuel types, brands, payment methods - [Supermarket & Grocery Scraper](https://apify.com/dataquarry/supermarkets) — brands, organic, payment methods # Actor input Schema ## `area` (type: `string`): Place to search within, e.g. "Rome, Italy".
