## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## FlixPatrol Streaming Charts Scraper

Extract Top 10 streaming charts from [FlixPatrol](https://flixpatrol.com) — the only public source aggregating daily rankings across Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV+, and Paramount+ for 90+ countries.

### What You Can Do

- Scrape Top 10 charts for any combination of streaming platforms and countries
- Get daily rank, title, FlixPatrol points, days-in-top10, and peak-rank history for every chart entry
- Optionally enrich each title with genre, production country, and title type (movie/TV)
- Monitor content performance across all major SVOD platforms in a single normalized feed

### Use Cases

- **Studio competitive intelligence** — track which titles are performing in which markets
- **TMT equity analysis** — measure content performance across platforms as a proxy for subscriber engagement
- **Content acquisition** — identify trending titles before they peak in your target market
- **Entertainment data reselling** — power dashboards and research products for media clients
- **Academic research** — cross-platform streaming consumption patterns by country

### Why FlixPatrol

FlixPatrol is the de facto source for cross-platform streaming charts, cited by Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and major entertainment trade press. Unlike Netflix Tudum (Netflix-only), FlixPatrol covers all major SVOD platforms in one place. No other Apify actor covers this dataset.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `platforms` | array | Platforms to scrape: `netflix`, `disney-plus`, `hbo`, `amazon-prime`, `apple-tv-plus`, `paramount-plus`. Leave empty for all platforms. |
| `countries` | array | Country slugs to filter (e.g. `united-states`, `united-kingdom`, `japan`). Leave empty for all countries. |
| `chartUrls` | array | Specific FlixPatrol chart URLs to scrape directly. When provided, overrides `platforms` and `countries`. |
| `enrich_titles` | boolean | Visit each title detail page for genres, production country, and title type. Default: `true`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of chart rows to collect. |

#### Example: Scrape Netflix US Top 10

```json
{
  "chartUrls": ["https://flixpatrol.com/top10/netflix/united-states/"],
  "enrich_titles": false,
  "maxItems": 10
}
````

#### Example: All platforms in Japan and South Korea

```json
{
  "platforms": ["netflix", "disney-plus", "amazon-prime"],
  "countries": ["japan", "south-korea"],
  "enrich_titles": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

### Output

Each chart entry is saved as a flat JSON record:

```json
{
  "platform": "Netflix",
  "country": "United States",
  "chart_date": "2026-05-21",
  "category": "TV Shows",
  "rank": 1,
  "title": "Adolescence",
  "title_slug": "adolescence",
  "points": 4200,
  "days_in_top10": 14,
  "peak_rank": 1,
  "title_type": "tv",
  "production_country": "United Kingdom",
  "genres": "Crime, Drama, Thriller"
}
```

When `enrich_titles` is `false`, the `title_type`, `production_country`, and `genres` fields are `null`.

### Notes on Coverage

- FlixPatrol publishes daily charts — running the actor daily captures the full historical record over time
- Not all platforms are available in all countries; the actor skips unavailable combinations gracefully
- FlixPatrol "points" metric is proprietary — it weights position and duration in the top 10
- Historical archive URLs (e.g. `/top10/netflix/united-states/2024-01-15/`) can be passed via `chartUrls` for retrospective data collection

# 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.

## `platforms` (type: `array`):

Streaming platforms to scrape. Leave empty to scrape all supported platforms. Supported values: netflix, disney-plus, hbo, amazon-prime, apple-tv-plus, paramount-plus

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Country slugs to filter (e.g. "united-states", "united-kingdom", "japan"). When provided, chart URLs are constructed directly (faster + avoids the platform-index landing page, which is heavily Cloudflare-challenged). Leave empty to scrape all available countries for each platform.

## `chartUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional list of specific FlixPatrol chart URLs to scrape directly (e.g. https://flixpatrol.com/top10/netflix/united-states/). When provided, the platforms and countries filters are ignored.

## `enrich_titles` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the actor visits each title's detail page to fetch genres, production country, and title type (movie/tv). Adds extra requests per chart entry. Default true.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to scrape
