## 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.

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

## NetEase Cloud Music — Toplist & Playlist Scraper

Scrapes track rankings and metadata from NetEase Cloud Music (网易云音乐) toplists and playlists using the public API. Returns playlist info, rank positions, artist/album metadata, and popularity scores — no login required.

### What This Scraper Does

NetEase Cloud Music is one of China's two dominant streaming platforms (~600M MAU). This actor uses the unsigned public legacy API (`/api/playlist/detail`) to pull ranked track data from official toplists — 飙升榜 (Hot Rise), 新歌榜 (New Songs), 原创榜 (Original), 热歌榜 (Hot Songs), and 10+ others — as well as any user-supplied playlist ID.

Each run returns one flat record per track with full playlist context, making the output ready for chart analysis, playlist migration tooling, or music-licensing research.

### Key Features

- Covers 14 built-in official toplists by default (no configuration needed)
- Accepts a custom list of playlist IDs to scrape arbitrary public playlists
- Returns playlist-level stats (play count, subscriber count, cover URL) alongside every track record
- Rank position within each playlist is included as `rankPosition` (1-indexed)
- Multi-artist tracks are pipe-separated in `artists` and `artistIds`
- No authentication, no captcha, no proxy required

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum number of track records to return across all playlists |
| `playlistIds` | array | [] | List of NetEase playlist IDs. Leave empty to use all built-in toplists |

#### Example Input

```json
{
    "maxItems": 500,
    "playlistIds": [3779629, 19723756, 3778678]
}
````

Leave `playlistIds` empty to scrape all 14 built-in official toplists (~1,400 records total, one per track).

### Output

Each record in the dataset represents one track in one playlist:

```json
{
    "playlistId": 3779629,
    "playlistName": "飙升榜",
    "playlistType": "toplist",
    "playlistCoverUrl": "https://p3.music.126.net/...",
    "playlistTrackCount": 100,
    "playlistPlayCount": 3197395200,
    "playlistSubscribedCount": 2797359,
    "playlistUpdatedAt": "2026-06-01T00:10:00.510Z",
    "rankPosition": 1,

    "publishTimeMs": 1779206400000,
    "trackShareUrl": "https://music.163.com/song?id=3382908505",
    "isExplicit": false,
    "popularityScore": 100,
    "snapshottedAt": "2026-06-01T17:38:08.095Z"
}
```

### Use Cases

- **Music-licensing research** — identify trending Chinese tracks with artist/album attribution
- **A\&R scouting** — monitor chart movers across 14 official NetEase toplists
- **Playlist migration** — extract track IDs for cross-platform mapping to Spotify/Apple Music via ISRC
- **Chart analytics** — track popularity scores and rank shifts over time with periodic runs

### Built-in Toplists

| Playlist ID | Name | Description |
|------------|------|-------------|
| 3779629 | 飙升榜 | Hot Rise Chart |
| 19723756 | 新歌榜 | New Songs Chart |

### Technical Notes

The actor calls the unsigned public legacy API endpoint (`/api/playlist/detail?id=<id>`). Each playlist returns up to 100 tracks in a single response. No authentication is required. Modern `/weapi/*` encrypted endpoints are intentionally avoided.
