## Pricing

from $4.30 / 1,000 results

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?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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`).

### What This Actor Does

**Cameo** is the marketplace where celebrities record personalized video messages. This Actor turns a list of talent into structured data — the numbers you can't get anywhere else:

- **Price** — the current price per personalized video (in USD by default)
- **Reputation** — star rating and total review count
- **Identity** — name, profession / known-for, bio, category
- **Status** — availability (in stock / out of stock), profile image and URL

Paste talent handles or profile URLs and get one clean row per celebrity — perfect for a **celebrity price index**.

***

### Why Use This

- **The price index nobody else has.** Cameo's price-per-video is the core signal for talent-booking and influencer-pricing decisions — this Actor structures it at scale.
- **Compare and rank.** Price + rating + review count let you rank talent by value, popularity and cost.
- **Any talent.** Track competitors, a roster, or a category of celebrities over time.
- **Clean and fast.** Reads Cameo's own profile data (structured JSON) — no manual lookups.

***

### Quick Start

#### Run it in the console (no code)

1. Paste Cameo **handles or profile URLs** (e.g. `brianbaumgartner`, `https://www.cameo.com/melissajoanhart`).
2. Click **Start** (the US proxy is preconfigured so prices come back in USD).
3. Export as **JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML**, or push to Google Sheets, a webhook or a database.

#### Run it via API (Python)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {"handles": ["brianbaumgartner", "melissajoanhart", "loudobbs"]}

run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/cameo-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for t in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(t["name"], "·", t["price"], t["currency"], "·", t["rating"], "★", t["reviewCount"])
```

#### Build a price index (Python)

```python
run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/cameo-scraper").call(run_input={"handles": [ ...your talent list... ]})
rows = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
rows.sort(key=lambda t: -(t.get("price") or 0))
for t in rows[:10]:
    print(f'{t["name"]:<24} ${t["price"]:<6} {t["rating"]}star ({t["reviewCount"]})')
```

***

### Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `handles` | array | Cameo talent handles or profile URLs (one per entry). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Optional cap on total talent. `0` = no limit. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Preconfigured to US residential so prices return in USD (Cameo localizes by IP). |

***

### Output

Each talent is one record:

```json
{
  "handle": "brianbaumgartner",
  "name": "Brian Baumgartner",
  "profession": "Actor - The Office",
  "price": 195,
  "currency": "USD",
  "availability": "InStock",
  "rating": 4.97,
  "reviewCount": 6236,
  "bio": "It's Brian Baumgartner...",
  "image": "https://cdn2.cameo.com/...",
  "cameoUrl": "https://www.cameo.com/brianbaumgartner"
}
```

***

### Use Cases

#### 1. Talent booking & agencies

Compare price, rating and review volume across celebrities to pick the best value for a campaign or gift.

#### 2. Influencer & talent-marketing pricing

Benchmark what public figures charge for personalized video — a unique data point for pricing and negotiation.

#### 3. Competitive & roster monitoring

Track a roster or competitors' pricing and availability over time (schedule daily/weekly).

#### 4. Market research & content

Analyze celebrity pricing by profession, popularity and rating for reports and rankings.

#### 5. Data enrichment

Enrich a talent database with Cameo price, rating and availability.

***

### Tips

- **USD by default:** Cameo shows prices in the visitor's local currency, so the US proxy is preconfigured to return USD. The `currency` field always tells you which currency a row is in.
- **Handles:** the handle is the last path segment of a profile URL — `cameo.com/brianbaumgartner` -> `brianbaumgartner`.
- **Availability** flags whether the talent is currently taking bookings.
- **Schedule it** with Apify Schedules to track price and rating changes over time.

***

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need a Cameo account?**
No. The Actor reads publicly visible profile data — no login required.

**Why is a proxy preconfigured?**
Cameo localizes prices by IP; a US proxy ensures prices come back in USD. You can change the country in the proxy settings.

**Can I discover talent, or only look them up?**
This Actor scrapes talent you provide (handles/URLs). Build your list from Cameo categories or your own roster.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or via API — plus Google Sheets, webhooks, Make and Zapier.
