## 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).

# README

## 🎵 Spotify Artist Intelligence & Discovery Scraper

A high-performance Python scraper designed to extract deep metadata from Spotify Artist profiles. This tool utilizes **Playwright** for request interception, allowing it to bypass standard limitations and recover data that is often hidden or deprecated.

---

### 💎 The Most Affordable Scraper on the Store

This project is driven by a **sustainability-first** philosophy and absolute price transparency:

* **At-Cost Pricing:** My goal isn't high profit—it's to keep the tool accessible. The price is set to the absolute minimum required to cover infrastructure costs and keep the project running.
* **Fueling Innovation:** The popularity of this tool directly funds the development of new features and the release of more specialized scrapers for the community.
* **Community-Centric:** Found a bug or need a specific feature? **Just open an Issue.** I actively monitor the repository to implement fixes and new scrapers based on your direct feedback.
