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 ## Pipixia (皮皮虾) Home Feed Video Scraper ![pipixia-feed-scraper](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/48FFrfZnw5XqzUC1C/records/pipixia-feed-scraper__hero) Scrape the **Pipixia (皮皮虾)** recommended **home feed** — the live stream of trending short videos. Returns clean, structured data for each video: caption, video download URLs, cover image, like / comment / share / play counts, duration, author info, and the share link. > **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by > Pipixia (皮皮虾) or ByteDance. It is an independent tool that retrieves publicly > available data via a third-party API. Use it in compliance with Pipixia's terms > and all applicable laws; you are responsible for how you use the retrieved data. ### What it does - **Trending home feed** — pages through Pipixia's recommended video feed. Just run it: with the default cursor `0` it starts from the freshest trending videos and follows the feed's own loadmore cursor until `maxItems` is reached. - Each video includes direct **video download URLs** (signed, time-limited) plus a separate original-quality download list, the cover image, and full author and engagement stats. - Item IDs are de-duplicated within a run. No login or input is required — a bare run returns the live trending feed. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `cursor` | string | `"0"` | Pagination cursor. `"0"` starts from the freshest trending videos; pagination then proceeds automatically. | | `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Max total feed videos to scrape (~12 per page). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | off | Optional Apify Proxy to vary the source IP. Usually not needed. | #### Example input ```json { "cursor": "0", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Output One dataset item per feed video: ```json { "itemId": "7609579790093261107", "cellId": "7609579790093261107", "cellType": 1, "itemType": 2, "content": "搞笑娱乐神评论 ...", "shareUrl": "https://h5.pipix.com/ppx/item/7609579790093261107?app_id=1319&app=super", "shareTitle": "...的这个内容太有意思了，分享给你", "duration": 20.945, "videoWidth": 720, "videoHeight": 1280, "downloadUrls": ["https://v3-dy-o.zjcdn.com/.../video.mp4"], "originVideoDownloadUrls": ["https://v3-dy-o.zjcdn.com/.../origin.mp4"], "coverUrl": "https://p6-ppx-sign.byteimg.com/...webp", "coverUrls": ["https://..."], "likeCount": 5842, "commentCount": 656, "shareCount": 270, "playCount": 542835, "viewCount": 835380, "favoriteCount": 724, "author": { "userId": "831695613868621", "name": "爱养宠物的皮皮虾3", "avatarUrl": "https://...", "followersCount": 28919, "followingsCount": 12, "description": "...", "gender": 0, "region": "cn", "level": 0 }, "authorName": "爱养宠物的皮皮虾3", "cityName": "山东", "createTime": 1771743360, "source": "home_feed" } ``` ### Notes - Video download URLs are signed and **expire** (typically ~7 days); fetch the feed close to when you intend to download. - Data is sourced live; the upstream edge occasionally rate-limits, so the Actor retries transient blocks with exponential backoff. # Actor input Schema ## `cursor` (type: `string`): Pagination cursor for the recommended feed. Leave as "0" to start from the freshest trending videos. The Actor then follows the feed's own loadmore cursor automatically until maxItems is reached. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum total number of feed videos to scrape. The feed returns ~12 videos per page and is paginated automatically. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Route the upstream API calls through an Apify Proxy to vary the source IP. Usually not needed. ## Actor input object example ```json { "cursor": "0", "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "cursor": "0" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ethereal_wool/pipixia-feed-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
