D&D 5e SRD Scraper 🐉🎲

Scrape the complete Dungeons & Dragons 5e SRD as clean, structured JSON — spells, monsters, equipment, magic items, classes, races, feats and conditions — in one run. No API key, no login, datacenter-proxy-friendly. One flat dataset item per entity, ready for character builders, TTRPG apps, and datasets.

Built to cover every SRD resource, not just spells. Point it at any resource, hit Run, get JSON.

✨ Why this actor

• All resources, one actor — spells, monsters, equipment, magic-items, classes, races, feats, conditions.
• Clean JSON output — nested API objects flattened to usable fields (school name, class names, first AC value, walk speed, cost as 15 gp).
• No key, no proxy needed — the underlying SRD API is open; runs great on the free datacenter proxy or none at all.
• Resource-aware schema — spells get spell fields, monsters get combat stats, equipment gets cost/weight. Everything else stays null.
• Fast & cheap — ~$0.50 per 1,000 items per run on typical Apify compute.

• VTT / fan tools — import monsters and items into homebrew tools and bots.
• Datasets & analytics — build a clean CSV/JSON dataset of the whole SRD for ML or balance analysis.
• Discord bots — instant /spell fireball lookups from a cached dataset.

Roughly $0.50 per 1,000 items per run on standard Apify compute (512 MB). A full spell or monster pull costs pennies.
