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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Audiobook Scraper Search audiobooks at scale and get the details that actually decide a listen: who narrates it, how it is rated for performance and story separately, how long it runs, and what it costs in each regional store. No login and no API key. ### What it does - **Search by anything** - topic, title, author, or narrator. One search runs per query. - **Narrator data** - the full narrator list, not just the author. This is usually the deciding factor for listeners and is rarely available elsewhere. - **Three separate ratings** - overall, performance, and story, each with the rating count, so you can tell a great book from a great reading. - **Ten regional stores** - catalog, currency and pricing differ per marketplace, so you can compare the same title across regions. - **Direct IDs** - fetch specific audiobooks by catalog ID and skip search entirely. - **Pagination** - results are collected 50 at a time up to your cap, stopping cleanly when the catalog runs out. Common uses: audiobook market and pricing research, narrator and publisher analysis, catalog building, and rating comparisons across regions. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `searchQueries` | array | Topics, titles, authors or narrators to search. | | `asins` | array | Specific catalog IDs to fetch directly. | | `marketplace` | string | `us`, `uk`, `de`, `fr`, `it`, `es`, `in`, `ca`, `au`, `jp`. | | `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Cap per query. Default 50, up to 5000. | | `includeDetails` | boolean | Fetch summary, categories, runtime and price. Default true. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional. Runs fine without a proxy. | At least one of `searchQueries` or `asins` is required. #### Example input ```json { "searchQueries": ["mystery", "business"], "marketplace": "us", "maxResultsPerQuery": 150, "includeDetails": true } ```` ### Output Each item is one audiobook. ```json { "asin": "B0EXAMPLE1", "title": "An Example Audiobook", "subtitle": "A Practical Guide", "marketplace": "us", "authors": ["Jane Doe"], "narrators": ["John Smith"], "publisher": "Acme Audio", "rating": 4.8, "ratingCount": 3184, "performanceRating": 4.8, "storyRating": 4.7, "price": 14.99, "currency": "USD", "listPrice": 16.98, "creditPrice": 1.0, "runtimeMinutes": 335, "language": "english", "categories": ["Personal Development", "Personal Success"], "summary": "A practical guide to building better habits...", "isAdult": false, "formatType": "unabridged", "coverImage": "https://example.com/cover.jpg", "releaseDate": "2018-10-16", "url": "https://www.audible.com/pd/B0EXAMPLE1" } ``` Titles with no rating yet, or fields a given store does not publish, come back as `null` or an empty list, so the shape is always the same. ### Notes - No login and no API key. Set your queries and run. - Turn off `includeDetails` for a faster, lighter run when you only need titles, authors, narrators and ratings. - Switch `marketplace` to compare pricing and availability for the same title across regions. - Deep searches stop automatically once the catalog stops returning new titles, so you are never charged for repeats. ### Privacy To improve our actors we collect anonymized usage telemetry (run stats and input patterns). No personal account data is collected. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Topics, titles, authors or narrators to search. One search runs per entry. ## `asins` (type: `array`): Fetch specific audiobooks directly by their catalog ID. Skips search. ## `marketplace` (type: `string`): Regional store to search. Catalog, pricing and currency vary by marketplace. ## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Cap per search query. Results are collected 50 at a time until this cap is reached or the catalog runs out. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch the complete record for every result: summary, categories, runtime, price, and the separate performance and story ratings. Turn off for a faster, lighter run. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. This Actor runs fine without a proxy; enable it to spread requests across IPs on large runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "mystery", "business" ], "asins": [ "B07RM306W1" ], "marketplace": "us", "maxResultsPerQuery": 50, "includeDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `audiobooks` (type: `string`): No description # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "self development" ], "asins": [], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("goat255/audible-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
