## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Behance Images Extractor: scrape Behance image search results by keyword

Behance Images Extractor collects image listings from Behance search so you can build visual datasets without paging through results by hand. Give it one or more keywords and it returns image URLs, dimensions, tags, colors, project links, license info, creator profiles, and engagement counts.

This actor is built for SEO research, moodboard collection, brand monitoring, and creative trend analysis on Behance.

### What data does this actor extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `imageId` | integer | Behance image module ID |
| `src` | string | Primary image URL |
| `width` / `height` | integer | Display dimensions in pixels |
| `tags` | array | Image tags |
| `colorR` / `colorG` / `colorB` | integer | Dominant RGB channels |
| `projectId` | integer | Parent project ID |
| `projectName` | string | Project title |
| `projectUrl` | string | Project gallery URL |
| `licenseLabel` / `licenseText` / `licenseUrl` | string | License details when present |
| `ownerName` / `ownerLocation` / `ownerProfileUrl` | string | Primary creator info |
| `appreciations` / `views` | integer | Project engagement stats |
| `imageSizes` | array | Size variants (`url`, `width`, `height`, `imageFormat`) |
| `keyword` | string | Search keyword used |
| `scrapedAt` | string | UTC extraction timestamp |
| `error` | string | Error message if a keyword failed |

### How to use

1. Open the actor on Apify and add keywords under `keywords` (for example `designer`).
2. Set `maxItems` to cap how many images you want in one run.
3. Run the actor and download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | array | `designer` | Behance image search keywords (one per line) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `30` | Max images for the whole run (hard max 1000) |
| `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | `30` | Per-request timeout in seconds |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["designer"],
  "maxItems": 30,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 30
}
```

### Use cases

- **SEO and content research**: see which visual themes show up for keywords your brand cares about
- **Moodboards and inspiration**: pull image URLs and tags into a structured sheet for design reviews
- **Portfolio and competitor scans**: track projects, creators, and engagement around a niche
- **Trend monitoring**: schedule runs for keywords like branding, UI, packaging, or illustration
- **Dataset building**: export clean image metadata for internal tools or analysis notebooks

### FAQ

**Can I search more than one keyword in a single run?**
Yes. Add multiple values under `keywords`. The actor walks each keyword until `maxItems` is reached.

**How many Behance images can I extract per run?**
Up to 1000. The default is 30 so accidental long runs stay cheap.

**Does it return multiple image sizes?**
Yes. `imageSizes` lists the variants Behance exposes, including format labels.

**What if a keyword returns no results?**
That keyword simply contributes zero rows. Other keywords in the same run still process normally.

**Is this affiliated with Behance or Adobe?**
No. It is an independent data extraction tool for public Behance search pages.

### Limits

Behance search pages return a limited number of images per page. The actor paginates automatically while `maxItems` still has room. Very broad keywords can take longer because there is more to walk.

echo '{
  "keywords": [
    "designer"
  ],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
