✨ What it scrapes

Pick one resource and the actor emits every record for it:

Resource	Example fields
Films	title, original title, description, director, producer, release date, running time, Rotten Tomatoes score, image
People	name, gender, age, eye color, hair color
Species	name, classification, eye colors, hair colors
Locations	name, climate, terrain, surface water
Vehicles	name, description, vehicle class, length

Every record is flat, typed, and fully nullable — missing values become null, so your schema is stable no matter what.

💰 Pricing

This actor is extremely cheap to run. The Ghibli catalog is small and served as clean JSON, so a full scrape costs roughly ~$0.5 per 1,000 runs in platform usage — most people scrape the whole thing in a single, near-free run.

---

🎯 Use cases

• Fan apps — power Ghibli quizzes, wikis, and recommendation widgets.
• Datasets — build tidy CSV/JSON datasets for analysis or ML experiments.
• Education — teach data, film studies, or Japanese culture with real data.
• Content — generate blog posts, listicles, and social content about the films.

---
