Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Deezer Music Catalog API Scraper Search and retrieve music catalog data from Deezer's public API — tracks, artists, albums, and playlists — without any authentication. Exposes ISRC and UPC join keys, BPM, gain, and popularity rank fields unavailable in most competing actors. ### What it does - Searches Deezer's catalog by keyword across any entity type: `track`, `artist`, `album`, `playlist`, or `chart` - Handles offset-based pagination automatically, respecting Deezer's 50 req/5s rate limit - Optionally fetches full track detail records (BPM, gain, ISRC, track position, disk number) via `fetchDetails: true` - Supports comma-separated batch queries for multi-keyword runs in a single execution - Chart mode (`entityType: chart`) returns trending tracks for any Deezer genre without a keyword ### Why use this Deezer is the last major streaming catalog with a public, auth-free API. Spotify now requires OAuth; Apple Music requires an enterprise token. Deezer's API returns 90M+ tracks with cross-platform join fields: - **ISRC** — standard track identifier; joins to MusicBrainz, Discogs, Apple Music - **UPC** — album barcode; joins to Discogs, Amazon, Bandcamp - **BPM / gain** — audio features for music-analysis workflows ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `query` | string | Search keyword(s). Comma-separate for batch: `"radiohead, jazz"`. Required unless `entityType` is `"chart"`. | | `entityType` | string | One of: `track` (default), `artist`, `album`, `playlist`, `chart` | | `genreId` | integer | Genre ID for chart mode. `0` = global top. Examples: `85` = Alternative, `132` = Pop, `116` = Rap/Hip-Hop, `106` = Electronic, `152` = Jazz | | `fetchDetails` | boolean | When `true` and `entityType` is `track`, fetches detail pages for BPM, gain, ISRC, track position, and disk number. Slower but richer data. Default: `false` | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum records to return. Deezer caps searches at 2000 per query. Default: `50` | ### Output Each record contains: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | Deezer entity ID | | `type` | `track`, `artist`, `album`, or `playlist` | | `title` | Track/album title, or artist name | | `artist_id`, `artist_name`, `artist_picture` | Artist info | | `album_id`, `album_title`, `album_cover` | Album info (tracks/albums) | | `duration` | Track length in seconds | | `isrc` | International Standard Recording Code (tracks) | | `upc` | Universal Product Code / album barcode (albums) | | `rank` | Deezer popularity rank | | `explicit_lyrics` | Explicit content flag | | `bpm` | Beats per minute (requires `fetchDetails: true`) | | `gain` | Loudness gain in dB (requires `fetchDetails: true`) | | `release_date` | Release date (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `nb_tracks` | Track count (albums, playlists) | | `nb_fan` | Artist follower count | | `preview_url` | 30-second preview MP3 URL | | `deezer_url` | Canonical Deezer URL | ### Example inputs **Search tracks by an artist:** ```json { "query": "radiohead", "entityType": "track", "maxItems": 100 } ```` **Get album catalog with UPC join keys:** ```json { "query": "ok computer", "entityType": "album", "maxItems": 20 } ``` **Get global top chart:** ```json { "entityType": "chart", "genreId": 0, "maxItems": 50 } ``` **Rich track data with BPM and ISRC:** ```json { "query": "jazz", "entityType": "track", "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 25 } ``` ### Rate limits Deezer's public API allows approximately 50 requests per 5 seconds. This actor throttles to 5 requests per second (200ms delay between pages) and handles paginated results automatically. No proxy or authentication is required. ### Notes - Deezer caps search results at index 2000 — queries matching millions of tracks will be capped there - `track_position`, `disk_number`, `bpm`, `gain`, and `release_date` are only populated on track records when `fetchDetails: true` - Chart mode returns top tracks only; to get top artists or albums, search directly by genre keyword # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `query` (type: `string`): Search term for Deezer catalog (e.g. "radiohead", "jazz", "OK Computer"). Required unless entityType is "chart". ## `entityType` (type: `string`): Type of entity to search: track, artist, album, playlist, or chart. "chart" ignores the query and returns trending global/genre charts. ## `genreId` (type: `integer`): Deezer genre ID for chart mode. 0 = global top. Examples: 85=alternative, 132=pop, 116=rap/hip-hop, 106=electro, 152=jazz, 165=r\&b. Ignored outside chart mode. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): When true and entityType is "track", fetches each track's detail page to get BPM, gain, ISRC, track\_position, and disk\_number. Slower but richer data. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to return. Deezer search caps at 2000 per query. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "query": "radiohead", "entityType": "track", "fetchDetails": false, "maxItems": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
