Free plan limit: Free-plan users can receive up to 5 result records per run. Paid-plan and local/unknown runs retain the Actor's existing limits.
Extract structured metadata from public Skillshare search pages and course URLs. It is useful for course-market research, catalog analysis, curriculum discovery, and creator research.
Extracted fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
courseUrl | Canonical public course URL |
title, description | Public course copy |
instructor | Creator or instructor name |
rating, reviewCount | Public rating signals when shown |
lessonCount, durationMinutes | Course size and duration when shown |
category | Public category/topic when shown |
imageUrl | Course thumbnail when available |
Input
Use searchQueries for topics or startUrls for public Skillshare search/course URLs. A direct course URL returns one course record. Search runs discover public /en/classes/ links and then open them when includeDetails is enabled. maxResults caps both output records and result-event charges.
Example:
{"searchQueries": ["illustration", "creative writing"],"maxResults": 20,"maxPagesPerQuery": 2,"includeDetails": true}
Pricing
This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify Store event prices:
| Event | Price (USD) | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
course-scraped | $0.005 | Course scraped — One unique public Skillshare course record was returned in the dataset. |
apify-actor-start | $0.001 | Actor Start — Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). — Charged once per run. |
Apify platform usage for this Actor run is included alongside the event prices above; no separate per-run platform-usage fee is passed to users.
This covers Apify platform usage for this Actor run. Other Apify products or usage outside this Actor run may still follow your account plan.
Reliability and limits
This Actor uses direct public HTML extraction and does not require Skillshare credentials. When configured by the owner, it uses the owner-authorized DataImpulse proxy route stored as the secret DATAIMPULSE_PROXY_URL; otherwise it uses the selected permitted Apify Proxy route. Skillshare and its CDN may return a managed anti-bot challenge; in that case the Actor reports blocked_or_failed, writes no fabricated course records, and charges no result events. Do not provide login cookies or attempt to bypass CAPTCHA, authentication, paywalls, or access controls. Use a permitted proxy route only when you are authorized to do so.
Legal and compliance
Use this Actor only for public pages and in accordance with Skillshare's terms, robots directives, and applicable law. Respect rate limits and do not collect private or access-controlled content.
