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 ## Social Blade Scraper Scrape Social Blade's creator leaderboard pages for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter, and more. Extracts rank, username, subscriber/follower counts, video views, and 30-day subscriber growth for the top creators on each platform. ### What it does Social Blade publishes ranked lists of the top creators by subscriber count for every major social platform. This actor fetches those leaderboard pages, waits for the JavaScript-rendered table to populate, and extracts structured data for each creator row. - Supports 8 platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, Dailymotion, Trovo, Kick - Offset-based pagination — each page returns 100 creators; request up to 1,000 total - Clears Cloudflare's JS challenge via a real Chromium browser with residential proxy ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `platform` | string | Yes | Platform to scrape (`youtube`, `tiktok`, `instagram`, `twitter`, `twitch`, `dailymotion`, `trovo`, `kick`) | | `topCount` | integer | No | Number of top creators to retrieve (1–1000, default 100) | | `maxItems` | integer | Yes | Maximum number of records to output | **Example input:** ```json { "platform": "youtube", "topCount": 100, "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Output Each record in the dataset represents one creator row from the leaderboard table. | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `rank` | string | Rank position (e.g. `"1st"`) | | `platform` | string | Platform scraped (e.g. `"youtube"`) | | `username` | string | Creator username or channel name | | `profile_url` | string | Social Blade profile URL for the creator | | `subscribers` | string | Total subscriber or follower count | | `video_views` | string | Total video or post views | | `monthly_subs_change` | string | 30-day subscriber/follower change | | `scraped_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the record was scraped | **Example output record:** ```json { "rank": "1st", "platform": "youtube", "username": "MrBeast", "profile_url": "https://socialblade.com/youtube/handle/mrbeast", "subscribers": "497M", "video_views": "128.15B", "monthly_subs_change": "985", "scraped_at": "2026-06-08T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes - Social Blade's leaderboard pages are JavaScript-rendered and protected by Cloudflare. This actor uses a real Chromium browser with residential proxy to reliably load the data. - Subscriber counts and view counts are returned as formatted strings (e.g. `"497M"`, `"128.15B"`) matching what Social Blade displays — not raw integers. - The `monthly_subs_change` field shows the net change in subscribers over the last 30 days. - Not all platforms expose the same statistics; unavailable fields will be empty strings. # 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. ## `platform` (type: `string`): Social media platform to scrape.
