## 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.

# README

## Ekşi Sözlük Scraper — Topics, Entries & Trending 🇹🇷

Extract entries from **Ekşi Sözlük**, Turkey's largest collaborative dictionary / social platform (Reddit-scale, since 1999) — as clean JSON. The go-to source for Turkish public opinion on brands, products, politics, culture and everything else.

No login, no API key. Give it keywords or topic URLs; get every entry with author, date and favorite counts.

### What you get (per entry)

```json
{
  "type": "entry",
  "topic": "yapay zeka",
  "topicId": "34712",
  "entryId": "9876543",
  "author": "example-user",
  "favoriteCount": 154,
  "date": "2026-08-13 21:30",
  "text": "entry text...",
  "entryUrl": "https://eksisozluk.com/entry/9876543",
  "topicUrl": "https://eksisozluk.com/yapay-zeka--34712",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-14T00:04:11.000Z"
}
```

Turn on **Include trending** to also capture the live "gündem" list (trending topics + today's entry counts) — a real-time pulse of Turkey.

### Use cases

- **Brand & sentiment monitoring** — what Turkey really thinks about your product, bank, airline, game
- **Market & political research** — track topics over time, favorite counts as engagement signal
- **Turkish NLP / AI training data** — colloquial, high-quality Turkish text at scale
- **Trend detection** — daily gündem snapshots reveal what's breaking in Turkey right now

### Input

- `topics`: keywords ("yapay zeka"), topic slugs ("pena--31782"), or full URLs
- `maxEntriesPerTopic`: cap per topic (10 per page fetched until reached)
- `sortBy`: `chronological` or `top` (most favorited)
- `includeTrending`: add the current trending-topics list to the dataset

### Pricing

Pay per event: you are charged only per entry returned — no subscriptions, no minimums.

### Notes

- Public, server-rendered pages only; no logins; only publicly visible data.
- Turkish characters are preserved; entry text capped at 20k chars.
- Issues or a topic that returns 0 results? Open an issue — response < 24h.

# Actor input Schema

## `topics` (type: `array`):

Topics to scrape. Accepts plain keywords (e.g. 'yapay zeka'), topic slugs with ID (e.g. 'pena--31782'), or full topic URLs. Keywords are resolved via site search.

## `maxEntriesPerTopic` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of entries to return per topic (10 entries per page are fetched until this cap is reached).

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Entry order: 'chronological' (oldest to newest, default) or 'top' (most favorited first).

## `includeTrending` (type: `boolean`):

Also scrape the current trending list ('gundem') as trending-topic items with today's entry counts.

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

Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (automatic) is recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "topics": [
    "pena",
    "yapay zeka"
  ],
  "maxEntriesPerTopic": 100,
  "sortBy": "chronological",
  "includeTrending": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "topics": [
        "pena",
        "yapay zeka"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gmpsignal/eksi-sozluk-scraper-entries-trending").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

echo '{
  "topics": [
    "pena",
    "yapay zeka"
  ]
}' |
apify call gmpsignal/eksi-sozluk-scraper-entries-trending --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/eksi-sozluk-scraper-entries-trending"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
