No login, no cookies, no browser.

How to use it

- For tags, add one or more Douban tags (they are Chinese, e.g. 小说) and choose a sort order.
- Leave full details on for ISBN, rating breakdown, summary and author bio, or turn it off for faster list-only data.
- Optional filters: minimum rating and minimum number of ratings.
- Set Max items, run, and download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API.
Pricing
$3 per 1,000 titles saved, pay per result. You are never charged for pages that fail, titles filtered out by your settings, or anything beyond your Max items.
What it does not do
- Movies are list-only. Douban protects individual movie pages with a security check, and this Actor does not try to get around it, so movie data comes from Top 250 and the chart only.
- It does not log in, collect user profiles, or read private data.
- For reviews, use our companion Actor, Douban Reviews Scraper.
Is it legal?
This Actor reads only public pages that anyone can open without an account, and it skips any page that Douban puts behind its security check. Check copyright rules for your use case before republishing summaries or covers. This Actor is not affiliated with Douban.
