## 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.

# README

## Roblox Games & Catalog Scraper

Scrape **Roblox experiences and catalog items without an API key**. Search games by keyword, pull live concurrent player counts, lifetime visits, favorites, up/down votes, like ratio, genres, creator info and 512x512 icons — or switch to catalog mode and export avatar-shop items with prices, creators and favorite counts.

Everything comes from Roblox's own public web APIs. No login, no cookies, no developer key, no Roblox Open Cloud subscription.

### What you get

| Mode | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `games` | Keyword search across Roblox experiences (`obby`, `tycoon`, `simulator`, ...) enriched with universe details, votes and icons |
| `universes` | Skip search and scrape a list of universe IDs you already have |
| `catalog` | Search the avatar shop by category (+ optional keyword) and resolve full item details |

### Use cases

- **Game market research** — see which experience genres actually hold concurrent players, and how visits translate into like ratios.
- **UGC economy analysis** — track catalog prices, creators and favorite counts across accessory, clothing and collectible categories.
- **Creator discovery** — find the studios and groups behind the fastest-growing experiences, including verified-badge status.
- **Trend tracking** — schedule daily runs and build a time series of `playing`, `visits` and `up_votes` per universe.

### Input

```json
{
  "mode": "games",
  "keywords": ["obby", "tycoon"],
  "universeIds": [],
  "catalogCategory": "Accessories",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | select | `games` | `games`, `universes` or `catalog` |
| `keywords` | array | `["obby","tycoon"]` | Experience search terms, or catalog keyword filters |
| `universeIds` | array | `[]` | Explicit universe IDs (used by `universes` mode) |
| `catalogCategory` | string | `Accessories` | `Accessories`, `Clothing`, `Collectibles`, `BodyParts`, `Gear`, `Featured` |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | 1–1000 dataset rows |

}
```

One item per row — export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, or pull it straight from the Apify API.

### Pricing

Roughly **$0.5 per 1,000 items** on Apify's pay-per-event style compute. Bulk endpoints are used wherever Roblox offers them (up to 100 universes per request for details, votes and icons), so a 1,000-game run costs only a handful of requests per hundred rows.

### How it works

1. `apis.roblox.com/search-api/omni-search` resolves keywords into universe IDs (paged).
2. `games.roblox.com/v1/games?universeIds=` returns bulk universe details (100 per call).
3. `games.roblox.com/v1/games/votes?universeIds=` and `thumbnails.roblox.com/v1/games/icons` are joined back onto each universe ID.
4. In catalog mode, `catalog.roblox.com/v1/search/items` returns IDs only, so the actor performs the mandatory second step against `catalog.roblox.com/v1/catalog/items/details` — including Roblox's `x-csrf-token` handshake.

Requests are throttled with a short delay and browser-like TLS fingerprinting so the public endpoints stay reachable.

### Legal

This actor reads publicly available Roblox endpoints only and collects no personal data beyond the public creator names Roblox itself displays. Respect Roblox's Terms of Use and use the data for research and analytics.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to scrape. 'games' searches Roblox experiences by keyword and enriches every hit with universe details, votes and an icon. 'universes' skips search and pulls those exact universe IDs. 'catalog' searches the avatar-shop catalog and resolves full item details (price, creator, favorites).

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Search terms. In 'games' mode these are experience search queries (e.g. obby, tycoon, simulator). In 'catalog' mode they filter items inside the chosen category (e.g. hat, wings). Ignored in 'universes' mode.

## `universeIds` (type: `array`):

Roblox universe IDs to scrape directly, used only in 'universes' mode. A universe ID is the experience ID behind a place (not the place ID in the game URL). Example: 1537690962.

## `catalogCategory` (type: `string`):

Avatar-shop category to search in 'catalog' mode. Common values: Accessories, Clothing, Collectibles, BodyParts, Gear, Featured.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of dataset rows to produce (games or catalog items). Higher values mean more requests and a slightly longer run.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "games",
  "keywords": [
    "obby",
    "tycoon"
  ],
  "universeIds": [],
  "catalogCategory": "Accessories",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```
