## 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.

Draft prep, trade analysis, and waiver-wire research all lean on the same handful of numbers: consensus rank, tier, ownership, and how the experts project each player to perform. This Actor pulls all of it straight from [FantasyPros](https://www.fantasypros.com), including fields that show up locked behind a paid account on other scrapers, at no extra cost and with no sign-up required.

### 🚀 Why use it

**"I run a fantasy football podcast and need fresh rankings every week."** I want tier and ownership data without asking my listeners to buy me an API key.

**"I manage a dynasty league Discord."** I need consensus rankings I can pipe into a bot, with the standard deviation so I can flag where the experts actually disagree.

**"I'm building a draft assistant tool."** I need rankings, projections, and ADP from the same source so the numbers are internally consistent, not three different scrapers with three different player-ID schemes.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does this Actor need a FantasyPros account or API key?**
No. It works entirely within the site's public, anonymous access, and there is no login or key input anywhere in the Actor.

**Why are projections and ADP limited to a small number of players?**
FantasyPros itself limits how much projections and ADP data is visible without a paid account (about 10 players per position for projections, about 5 for ADP). This Actor never pads or fakes the missing rows: the run log always states the real count returned.

**Does rankings have the same limit?**
No. Rankings return the full board every time, including tier, ownership percentage, and bye week, all for free.

**Is this legal?**
This Actor only extracts publicly available information already shown to any visitor of FantasyPros. Always review the target site's terms of service before using the data commercially.

# Actor input Schema

## `dataType` (type: `string`):

Which FantasyPros data to scrape. Rankings return the full board with no anonymous limit; projections and ADP are capped by the site itself without a paid FantasyPros account.

## `positions` (type: `array`):

Only include these positions. Leave all selected for every position.

## `scoringFormat` (type: `string`):

NFL fantasy scoring format. Only affects RB/WR/TE data; QB, K, and DST scoring doesn't vary by format.

## `week` (type: `integer`):

NFL week number. Only used for projections; rankings and ADP are always season-long/draft boards.

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

Stop after this many records. Set to 0 for no limit. This is a ceiling, not a target: it cannot lift the site's own anonymous caps on projections (10 per position) or ADP (about 5).
