## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## RapidAPI Hub Scraper

**Magnesia LLC** · Apify Store Actor

Scrape the **RapidAPI Hub** API marketplace and export API listings as clean JSON, CSV or Excel: **popularity, latency, service level, success rate, subscribers, rating, every pricing plan with quotas, overage and rate limits, endpoint lists and provider websites**. Search by keyword, browse a whole category, or look up specific API pages. Fast, HTTP-only (no browser, no login).

### Use cases

- **API market research:** which APIs in a niche have the most subscribers, and what they charge
- **Pricing benchmarks** for API providers: compare free quotas, paid tiers, overage and rate limits
- **Competitor tracking:** watch a category for newly updated or newly launched APIs (`sortBy: updated`)
- **Vendor selection:** shortlist APIs by success rate, latency and rating before integrating
- **Lead lists** of API providers with their websites
- **AI agents** that need to discover an API for a task

### What you get

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `title`, `description`, `url`, `slug`, `apiId` | API identity and RapidAPI Hub link |
| `owner`, `ownerName`, `ownerType`, `websiteUrl` | Provider username, display name and website |
| `category`, `pricing`, `tags` | Hub category and pricing model (`FREE`, `FREEMIUM`, `PAID`) |
| `popularityScore`, `avgLatencyMs`, `avgServiceLevel`, `avgSuccessRate` | Hub health metrics |
| `subscribers`, `rating`, `ratingVotes`, `qualityScore` | Adoption and reputation (full details) |
| `plans[]` | Every public plan: `name`, `priceUsd`, `period`, `quotas[]` (amount, hard/soft limit, overage price), `rateLimit`, `recommended` |
| `hasFreePlan`, `cheapestPaidPlanUsd` | Quick pricing summary |
| `endpointCount`, `endpoints[]` | Number of endpoints plus method, route and name (capped by `maxEndpointsPerApi`) |
| `longDescription`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `status`, `apiType`, `thumbnailUrl` | Page details |
| `query`, `position`, `detailLevel`, `scrapedAt` | Search context and rank |

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["weather", "email validation"],
  "category": "",
  "sortBy": "relevance",
  "pricingFilter": "all",
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 20,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxEndpointsPerApi": 50,
  "apiUrls": ["https://rapidapi.com/meteostat/api/meteostat"]
}
```

- **Category:** exact hub category name, e.g. `Weather`, `Finance`, `Data`, `Sports`, `Email`, `Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning`. Leave `searchQueries` empty to browse the whole category.
- **Sort:** `relevance` (hub default), `updated` (recently updated first) or `alphabetical`.
- **Pricing model:** `all`, `free`, `freemium` or `paid`.
- **Include full details:** on by default. Turn it off for a fast, cheaper listing-only export.
- **API URLs:** look up specific APIs (always full details).
- The hub returns up to about 1,000 results per search; split big categories into several keywords. Duplicates across queries are returned once.

### Sample output

```json
{
  "title": "Open Weather",
  "url": "https://rapidapi.com/worldapi/api/open-weather13",
  "ownerName": "Quantum APIs",
  "websiteUrl": "http://openweather.site/",
  "category": "Weather",
  "pricing": "FREEMIUM",
  "popularityScore": 9.9,
  "avgLatencyMs": 328,
  "avgSuccessRate": 100,
  "subscribers": 30684,
  "rating": 3.3,
  "ratingVotes": 44,
  "endpointCount": 3,
  "endpoints": [{ "method": "GET", "route": "/latlon", "name": "V2 - Current Weatherby Latitude & Longitude" }],
  "plans": [
    {
      "name": "ULTRA",
      "pricing": "PAID",
      "priceUsd": 4.99,
      "period": "MONTHLY",
      "quotas": [{ "item": "Requests", "amount": 200000, "limitType": "hard", "overagePriceUsd": 0 }],
      "rateLimit": "50 req / 1 s"
    }
  ],
  "hasFreePlan": true,
  "cheapestPaidPlanUsd": 2.99
}
```

### Pricing (pay per event)

Platform usage (compute, storage) is **included**. You only pay the event prices below.

| Event | What it bills | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `apify-actor-start` | Actor start (one event per GB of memory, min. 1; default 512 MB = 1 event) | **$0.0005** |
| `api-listing` | Each API pushed with listing data only (`includeDetails: false`) | **$0.0003** |
| `api-detailed` | Each API pushed with full details (plans, subscribers, endpoints) | **$0.0008** |

1,000 fully detailed APIs cost about **$0.80**; 1,000 listing-only rows about **$0.30**. **Max cost per run** is respected exactly: the Actor stops gracefully at your limit, so every delivered row is a charged row.

### Why this Actor

- **Full pricing plans** with quotas, overage and rate limits, not just the pricing label
- **Subscriber counts and ratings** for real adoption signals
- Keyword, category, pricing-model and recently-updated filters
- **HTTP-only**, fast and cheap, polite retries; ready-made table views

### Legal

Uses only publicly visible RapidAPI Hub listing data, without login. Respect RapidAPI's Terms of Service and applicable law, and don't use the data to spam API providers.

## MCP server setup

```json

    }
}
```

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).
