Why this actor

Public JSON API — no API key, no login, no browser.
Filter by media type (texts, movies, audio, software, image, data) and year range.
Sort by downloads, item date, date added, or relevance.
Output is one catalog record per dataset item: identifier, title, creator, year, downloads, formats, subjects, and the details URL.

Input

{
  "search_queries": ["nasa apollo"],
  "mediatype": "texts",
  "year_from": 1960,
  "year_to": 1975,
  "sort_by": "downloads",
  "max_items": 50
}

search_queries also accepts a raw Archive.org query such as title:(apollo) AND mediatype:texts.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`search_queries`	`Array<String>`	`["nasa apollo"]`	Plain words or an Archive.org Lucene query.
`mediatype`	`String`	`texts`	`all`, `texts`, `movies`, `audio`, `software`, `image`, `data`.
`year_from` / `year_to`	`Integer`	—	Optional inclusive year range.
`sort_by`	`String`	`downloads`	`downloads`, `date`, `added`, `relevance`.
`max_items`	`Integer`	`50`	How many catalog items to save (1–1000).

Output

Each item has identifier, title, creator, year, date, downloads, mediatype, language, description, subjects, formats, collections, url, query, and scraped_at.

url points at https://archive.org/details/{identifier}. Favorite-list collections (fav-*) are dropped because a popular item can carry thousands of them.

{
  "identifier": "nasa_techdoc_20000088626",
  "title": "Challenge To Apollo: The Soviet Union and The Space Race, 1945-1974",
  "creator": "Siddiqi, Asif A",
  "year": 2000,
  "downloads": 41992,
  "mediatype": "texts",
  "url": "https://archive.org/details/nasa_techdoc_20000088626"
}

Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 saved catalog items (pay-per-event, $0.0015 per dataset item). Actor start is $0.00005. Compute is extra and typically a few cents because this actor uses HTTP JSON only.
