What you get
Every run writes a dataset with one row per record:
{"title": "Wartime Nutrition","identifier": "WartimeN1943","creator": "U.S. Office of War Information","description": "Wartime work of public welfare agencies in the field of nutrition.","downloads": 962298,"url": "https://archive.org/details/WartimeN1943","mediatype": "movies","license": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/","open_license": true,"date": "1943-01-01T00:00:00Z"}
Input
{"query": "public domain","collection": "prelinger","mediatype": "movies","minDownloads": 1,"publicDomainOnly": false,"since": "","maxItems": 10}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
query | string | Query: the query parameter. Default: "public domain". |
collection | string | Collection: the collection parameter. Default: "prelinger". |
mediatype | string | Mediatype: the mediatype parameter. Default: "movies". |
minDownloads | integer | MinDownloads: the mindownloads parameter. Default: 1. |
publicDomainOnly | boolean | PublicDomainOnly: the publicdomainonly parameter. Default: false. |
since | string | Since: the since parameter. Default: "". |
maxItems | integer | MaxItems: the maxitems parameter. Default: 10. |
Use cases
- Monitor on a schedule — run this Actor on a timer and get a fresh, normalized snapshot every time; diff the datasets to see what changed.
- Feed a dashboard or model — clean, one-JSON-item-per-record output is ready to pipe into a spreadsheet, database, or LLM prompt without any post-processing.
- Research & due diligence — pull a structured set of records for a topic, name, or window without scraping the public source by hand.
Limits & notes
- No API key, no login: it only reads public endpoints/feeds. If the upstream source is degraded, the run still succeeds and returns an honest status item instead of failing.
- Results reflect what the public source returned at run time (top-N windows, newest-first where applicable).
- Pay-per-event via synthetic events: each default-dataset item is billed through
apify-default-dataset-item($0.001 per item), plusapify-actor-start. - Free to try on the free plan; PPE pricing applies to paid-plan users.
