## 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.

### ArtStation Artist Profile & Email Scraper

_(scrapes artist profiles, emails, portfolios, and social links from **ArtStation.com**)_
ArtStation may limit results depending on search filters. Studio pages are supported.

#### Example URLs

- **Artist Search**: `https://www.artstation.com/search/artists?countries_include=US`
- **Artist Search**: `https://www.artstation.com/search/artists?sort_by=followers&countries_include=IT`
- **Artist Search**: `https://www.artstation.com/search/artists?availability_include=freelance&skill_ids_include=21`
- **Studio Search**: `https://www.artstation.com/studios?country_names=Japan`

**Don't worry — the scraper automatically detects artist vs studio search URLs.**

Extract **artist profiles**, **email addresses**, and **portfolio data** from ArtStation to **JSON** or **CSV**. This scraper gathers comprehensive artist details including bios, skills, software, social links, and project previews from both profile pages and resume pages.

#### What you get

- **username** - artist's username (e.g. "dete")
- **full_name** - display name (e.g. "Daniel Thiger")
- **headline** - tagline or title
- **email** - email address extracted from bio, social profiles, website, or resume page
- **bio** - portfolio summary text
- **location** & **country** - geographic info
- **skills** - comma-separated list of skills
- **software** - comma-separated list of tools used
- **followers_count** - number of followers
- **profile_url** - link to the artist's ArtStation page
- **website_url** - personal website
- **linkedin_url**, **instagram_url**, **twitter_url** - social links
- **social_urls** - any additional social profile URLs
- **projects_count_page1** - number of projects on the first page
- **project_urls_page1** - links to featured projects
- **project_image_urls_page1** - thumbnail links to featured projects
- **user_id** - internal ArtStation ID
- **search_url** & **source_page** - which search and page the artist was found on
- **total_count_from_api** - total artists in the search results
- **scraped_at** - timestamp of when the profile was scraped

#### Sample output

```json
{
    "username": "artist_username",
    "full_name": "Artist Name",
    "email": "name@domain.com",
    "headline": "3D Character Artist",
    "location": "Los Angeles, California",
    "country": "United States",
    "followers_count": 8450,

    "website_url": "",
    "linkedin_url": "",
    "instagram_url": "",
    "twitter_url": "",
    "projects_count_page1": 15,
    "project_urls_page1": "",
    "project_image_urls_page1": "",
    "scraped_at": "2026-04-29T20:19:54.000Z"
}
````

#### Typical use cases

- **Recruitment** - find artists by location, skills, and availability to build a talent pipeline.
- **Portfolio Discovery** - browse trending artists sorted by followers or recent activity.
- **Market Research** - analyze skill sets and tools used by artists in specific regions.
- **Competitor Analysis** - monitor the portfolio activity of specific artists or studios.

#### Quick start

1. Add one or more **Start URLs** (like `https://www.artstation.com/search/artists?countries_include=US`).
2. (Optional) Set **Max Items** to limit the number of artists scraped (default: 1000, max: 9990).
3. Click **Run**.
4. Download your data in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

#### FAQ

**Can I scrape studio pages?**
Yes! Use a URL like `https://www.artstation.com/studios?country_names=Japan`.

**Can I scrape without location/country filters?**
Bare `/search/artists` returns blank results. Add at least one query parameter like `countries_include=US`.

**Does it extract email addresses?**
Yes — emails are extracted when found.

**What if the scraper gets blocked?**
The scraper automatically retries with a fresh connection. Datacenter proxies are used by default for cost efficiency.

**How can you contact me?**
Open an issue on the Apify interface.
