Novelpia Member Novel Scraper

Novelpia Member Novel Scraper extracts the full list of serialized novels written by any Novelpia member. Give it one or more member numbers (mem_no) and it returns every novel each author has posted — titles, genres, view and like counts, completion status, cover images, timestamps, and more — as structured JSON. It talks directly to Novelpia's internal get_member_writer_novel API, so it is fast and does not need a browser.

Running on the Apify platform gives you scheduled runs, a REST API, ready-made integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Drive, and more), proxy rotation, and run monitoring on top of the scraper.

Why use Novelpia Member Novel Scraper?

• Author catalog tracking — keep an up-to-date list of every novel an author publishes.
• Market research — compare view counts, likes, genres, and completion rates across writers.
• Dataset building — collect a structured corpus of Korean web-novel metadata for analysis or ML.
• Monitoring — schedule periodic runs to detect newly posted or updated novels.

How to use Novelpia Member Novel Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and go to the Input tab.
2. Add one or more member numbers (mem_no) to the Member numbers list. You can find a member's number in the author's Novelpia profile URL.
3. (Optional) Adjust Rows per page to control how many novels are fetched per API request.
4. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output (Dataset) tab to view, filter, and export the collected novels.

Input

The Actor accepts a simple JSON input:

Field	Type	Required	Description
mem_no_list	array of strings	Yes	Novelpia member numbers whose serialized novels should be scraped.
row_count	integer	No	Novels requested per API page (1–500, default 100). Higher values mean fewer requests.

Example input:

{
    "mem_no_list": ["2", "100"],
    "row_count": 100
}

Output

Each scraped novel is stored as one item in the dataset. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

A simplified output item looks like this:

{
    "scraped_mem_no": "2",
    "novel_no": 2532,
    "novel_name": "테스트 소설",
    "writer_nick": "개발자",
    "novel_genre": "[\"테스트\",\"숙주나물\"]",
    "count_view": 7863,
    "count_good": 200,
    "count_book": 3,
    "is_complete": 0,
    "novel_thumb": "/imagebox/cover/372925433920034a13c3925686e01aed_273808_ori.file",
    "last_write_date": "2021-07-31 02:04:29"
}

Each item contains the full set of fields returned by the Novelpia API (around 55 fields per novel) plus scraped_mem_no, which records the member number used to fetch it.

How much does it cost to scrape Novelpia?

This Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests (no browser), so runs are cheap. Each member typically needs one API request per page of row_count novels, meaning most authors are scraped in a handful of requests. Cost scales with the number of members and the total novels they have published. Apify's free tier is usually enough to scrape many members; check the Pricing tab for current rates.

Tips and advanced options

• Fewer requests: raise row_count (up to 500) so each request returns more novels and fewer pages are needed.
• Batch authors: pass many member numbers at once in mem_no_list to scrape a whole set of authors in a single run.
• Scheduling: use Apify's scheduler to re-run periodically and track newly posted novels.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping Novelpia legal? This Actor only reads publicly available author/novel listing data. You are responsible for complying with Novelpia's Terms of Service and applicable laws, and for using the collected data responsibly. Do not collect or redistribute personal or copyrighted content beyond what is permitted.

Where do I find a member number? It appears in an author's Novelpia profile URL.

Known limitations: The Actor depends on Novelpia's internal API; if Novelpia changes that endpoint or its response format, the output may change. It scrapes novel listings (metadata), not chapter text.
