## Pricing

from $1.32 / 1,000 model listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

**Cults3D Scraper** extracts model listings and designer profiles from [cults3d.com](https://cults3d.com), the marketplace where designers sell and share 3D-printable files. Give it a few categories, tags, or direct URLs and it returns a clean dataset: title, description, price, currency, creator name and profile link, category, tags, license, publish date, rating, and download, like, view, and collection counts for every model.

It runs on the Apify platform, so you get scheduling, an API, one-click exports, and proxy rotation handled for you. No coding required.

### 🤔 Why use Cults3D Scraper?

- **Indie makers and 3D-print resellers** track pricing and demand signals across categories before deciding what to model or restock.
- **Marketplace researchers and analysts** build datasets on designer output, pricing spread, and popular tags without opening hundreds of tabs.
- **No-code Apify users** connect the dataset straight into Sheets, Airtable, or a BI tool through Apify's built-in integrations.

There is already one other Cults3D scraper on the Apify Store. This one is priced lower per run and per record (see [Pricing](#-pricing) below), and it's built without a browser, which means fewer moving parts and fewer runs that stall or time out.

1. Open the Actor and go to the **Input** tab.
2. Add **Start URLs** for specific models, designers, or category pages, and/or list **Categories** and **Tags** to crawl.
3. Set **Max items** to control how many records the run collects.
4. Click **Start** and watch results land in the dataset in real time.
5. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or push straight into Sheets or another integration.

### 📥 Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array of URLs | No | Direct Cults3D URLs: model pages, designer profile pages, or category listing pages. |
| `categories` | array of strings | No | Top-level categories to crawl, such as `art`, `game`, `home`, `tool`, `gadget`, `jewelry`, `fashion`, `architecture`, `various`. |
| `tags` | array of strings | No | Tags to crawl, such as `bambulab`, `miniature`, or `articulated`. Each is crawled at its own tag page. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of model records to collect in this run. Defaults to 50. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Apify Proxy settings. Datacenter proxy is the default and recommended tier. |

At least one of `startUrls`, `categories`, or `tags` should be set, or the run has nothing to crawl.

### 💡 Tips and advanced options

- Start with a low **Max items** value (10-20) to preview the field set before running a full crawl.
- Combine **Categories** and **Tags** in one run to widen coverage without pasting individual URLs.
- Schedule recurring runs on Apify to track price and popularity changes on the same models over time.
- Datacenter proxy is enough for this target. Only switch to residential if a run starts seeing blocks.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does this Actor need a Cults3D account or login?**
No. Every field it collects is available on public, unauthenticated pages.

**Will this scraper get blocked?**
It's built without a browser, which keeps it simple and less prone to the stalled or timed-out runs that browser-based scrapers can hit. If Cults3D temporarily rate-limits requests, the Actor retries automatically.

**Can I scrape a single designer's full catalog?**
Yes. Add the designer's profile URL to Start URLs, or use their category and tag combination.

**What if a field is missing on a listing?**
Fields that aren't present on the page (for example, a license badge many sellers don't set) are left empty rather than guessed, so the dataset stays accurate.

**Is scraping Cults3D legal?**
This Actor only reads publicly available listing pages and respects Cults3D's `robots.txt`, including its crawl-delay setting. You're responsible for how you use the data. If you have questions about a specific use case, reach out via the Issues tab.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Direct Cults3D URLs to crawl: model detail pages (/en/3d-model/<category>/<slug>), designer profile pages (/en/users/<username>/3d-models), or category listing pages (/en/3d-models/<category>). Leave empty and use the category/tag filters below instead. Do not paste /en/search?q=... URLs (disallowed by robots.txt).

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Cults3D top-level categories to crawl (e.g. art, game, home, tool, gadget, jewelry, fashion, architecture, various). Leave empty to skip category-based discovery and rely on Start URLs only.

## `tags` (type: `array`):

Cults3D tags to crawl (e.g. bambulab, miniature, articulated). Each tag is crawled at /en/tags/<tag>.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of 3D model records to scrape in this run. Set low (e.g. 10) for a quick test.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Cults3D has no observed IP-reputation gating; datacenter proxy is the default and recommended tier. Only switch to residential if you start seeing blocks.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://cults3d.com/en/3d-models/art"
