Spotify Artist Scraper

🎤 Find Spotify artist profiles from keywords or links

For music researchers, playlist curators, A&R teams, and developers, this Actor finds public Spotify artist profiles from keywords or Spotify artist links. It saves structured artist rows with identity, audience metrics, releases, top tracks, related artists, and source links when available, so you can review artists in one dataset.

• Look up a public profile from a Spotify artist link with Spotify Artist Lookup.
• Find public artist profiles from a keyword with Spotify Artist Search.
• Collect structured fields for one artist with Spotify Artist Data.
• Find profiles for a most-streamed artist query with Most Streamed Artist On Spotify.
• Build a list of profiles for a broad ranking query with Spotify Top 100 Artists.

🎧 Artist profile rows

Each saved row represents the first eligible public profile found for one Spotify artist. It keeps the artist ID, name, Spotify profile link, and available profile details together. Keyword discovery rows also keep the keyword that found the profile. If the same artist appears again from another keyword or submitted link, the later match is ignored.

The source may not provide every optional field. The Actor returns the profile fields that are publicly available, including audience counts, popularity, listener locations, releases, top tracks, related artists, discovery context, and activity links when the source shows them.

▶️ Find public artist profiles

Choose Keywords to search for artists from one or more values, or choose Spotify artist links to look up supplied public artist pages. Set Maximum results to stop after a chosen number of saved profiles. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. Start the run and open the Artist profiles link in the output.

⚙️ Input

Choose one method in findBy. The Actor uses only the fields for that method. Use one list of keywords or one list of Spotify artist-page links in each run.

❓ FAQ

What happens when the same artist matches more than one keyword or link?

The Actor saves the first eligible match and ignores later matches for the same artist. A keyword-discovered row keeps the keyword from that first saved match.

Can I use keywords and artist links in one run?

Choose one method in findBy for each run. Use separate runs for separate configurations, and submit one or more values of the same kind for the selected method.

What does an empty Maximum results value do?

Leaving maxItems empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Enter a positive number when you want the run to stop earlier.

Are all artist fields always filled?

No. artistId, name, and spotifyUrl are required. Other fields appear when Spotify makes that public data available.

Do I need a Spotify login or API key?

No buyer Spotify login or API key is needed. The Actor uses publicly available Spotify information.

Does this Actor return tracks, albums, or playlists as separate rows?

No. It saves artist-profile rows. Releases, top tracks, and discovery links can appear as nested artist fields when available.

Does it return every possible search match?

No. The product does not promise an exhaustive list of every search match. Results depend on what the public source returns for your values.

Does it monitor artist changes over time?

No. Each run is a current lookup or discovery pass. Keep datasets from separate runs if you want to compare your own snapshots.

How is pricing calculated?

The primary event is tied to each artist profile saved to the default dataset. The Apify pricing panel shows the current event price before you run it.
