It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## 🎌 Anime & Manga Scraper for AniList: Airing, Seasons, Tags, Lists
This season's anime, this week's episodes and any public list, as clean rows.
Seasonal charts, an airing schedule with countdowns, rankings you can filter by tag, country and year, public user lists, and a change tracker that tells you what moved since last week.
πŸ“… Airing schedule
Every episode airing in the next days, with air time, hours until it airs and whether it is the finale. 		πŸŽ›οΈ Deep filters
Tags, excluded genres, country (manhwa, donghua), year range, score range and popularity range. 		🎭 Optional extras
Staff, characters with voice actors, related titles, recommendations, streaming links and score spread. 		πŸ”” Change tracking
New titles, score moves, status changes and new episodes between scheduled runs.
Looking for an AniList scraper that does more than search by title? This Actor turns the public AniList catalog into rows for a spreadsheet, a database, a Discord bot or a weekly report. Each row carries titles in four forms, scores, popularity, genres, tags without spoilers, studios, dates, cover art and next-episode timing. This is an unofficial Actor. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by AniList. Data comes from AniList's public API, needs no account, and stays the property of AniList and its contributors. ### πŸ” What does this Actor do? - **Seasonal charts.** Pick a season and year, or leave them empty for the current season, and sort by trending, popularity, score or favourites. - **Airing schedule.** List episodes airing in the coming days (or the days just gone), filtered by genre, format, country or popularity. - **Ranking boards with filters.** Trending, most popular, highest rated, newest and more, narrowed by genre, excluded genre, tag, tag strength, format, status, country, release years, score range and popularity range. - **Title search.** Up to 10 search terms in one run, with the same filters. - **Specific titles.** Paste AniList IDs or links and get exactly those titles back, in the order you gave. - **Public user lists.** Read the public anime or manga list of up to 10 users, with status, score, progress and dates. Private lists are skipped with a note. - **Extras on request.** Add staff, characters with voice actors in ten languages, related titles, recommendations, watch and info links, rankings and score spread. - **Change tracking.** Name a run, schedule it, and each new run reports only what is new or changed. Adult-marked titles and spoiler tags are off by default. ### 🎯 What can I use it for? - **Discord and Telegram bot builders:** post tonight's episodes with air times and countdowns. - **Anime blogs and fan wikis:** build the seasonal chart or a top-rated list for any year, tag or country. - **Recommendation and app developers:** pull clean titles, tags, relations and recommendations for a small catalog. - **Analysts and students:** follow which shows gain popularity or lose score week over week. - **Anime fans:** export a friend's public list, or find hidden gems with a low popularity cap and a high score floor. ### πŸš€ How to use it

### ❓ FAQ #### Does it need an AniList account or API key? No. It reads only public data that anyone can see. It never logs in, and a private user list is skipped. #### How do I get this week's airing anime with countdowns? Choose the airing schedule job, set days ahead to 7 and run. Each row has the episode, the air time in UTC, the hours until it airs and whether it is the final episode. Add a genre or minimum popularity filter to cut the list down. #### How does change tracking work? Give the run a name and schedule it. The first run records a starting point and marks every title as new. Later runs save only titles that are new or changed: score moved by a point or more, a new status, a new episode or chapter, or a clear shift in popularity. Rows show the old and new values. #### Why is there a record limit? AniList asks that its data is not collected in bulk or stored as a backup, so each run is capped at 500 records and the Actor is built for targeted lists, charts and schedules. It spaces its requests to respect AniList's rate limit, so larger runs take a little longer. ### πŸ”— Other actors - [Bilibili Trending Videos Scraper ε“”ε“©ε“”ε“©: Rankings & Hot Searches](https://apify.com/getascraper/bilibili-popular-video-intelligence) β†— - Popular videos and hot searches from Bilibili. - [Douban Movie Top 250 Scraper 豆瓣甡影: Hot Charts, Filters, Changes](https://apify.com/getascraper/douban-movie-rankings-scraper) β†— - Movie charts from Douban. - [Kugou Music Scraper: ι…·η‹—ιŸ³δΉ Catalog, Charts & Lyrics](https://apify.com/getascraper/kugou-music-scraper) β†— - Songs, charts and lyrics from Kugou. - [Moj Short Video Scraper: Hashtag Videos, Views & Growth Monitor](https://apify.com/getascraper/moj-short-video-scraper) β†— - Moj hashtag videos with growth tracking. - [Douban Book Scraper 豆瓣读书: Top 250, Tags, New Releases, Changes](https://apify.com/getascraper/douban-book-rankings-scraper) β†— - Book charts and new releases from Douban. # Changelog This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/getascraper/anime-manga-scraper-for-anilist-unofficial/changelog.md # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Pick one job.
