## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What can I get

- 🎤 **Artist profiles** — photo, country, formed date, genres, aliases, website, socials, tour links, Spotify, iTunes and MusicBrainz IDs
- 🎵 **Every song** — most popular first or by release date, with album, cover art, release date, genres, popularity, ISRCs and Spotify IDs
- 💿 **Every album, single and EP** — label, copyright, release date, track count, cover art and, if you want, the full tracklist
- 📝 **Full lyrics on demand** — every song's lyrics, lines, stanzas, key line and writers (add-on)
- 🔗 **From a name, a link or an ID** — `Taylor Swift`, `https://www.musixmatch.com/artist/Taylor-Swift` or `259675`

### Why Musixmatch Artist Scraper

Most other artist scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a name and a follower count, never the catalog
- 🪓 **One thing only** — a profile *or* songs *or* albums, so you chain several actors
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — start fees and paid "extra data" events
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

Musixmatch Artist Scraper gets the whole catalog in one run, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

### Example: An Artist Profile

```json
{
  "record_type": "artist",
  "source": "Taylor Swift",
  "id": 259675,
  "name": "Taylor Swift",
  "link": "https://www.musixmatch.com/artist/Taylor-Swift",
  "country": "US",
  "formed_date": "1989",
  "genres": [{ "name": "Country", "is_primary": true }, { "name": "Pop", "is_primary": true }],
  "external_links": {
    "website": "http://www.taylorswift.com",
    "instagram": "https://instagram.com/taylorswift",
    "tiktok": "https://tiktok.com/@taylorswift",
    "bandsintown": "https://www.bandsintown.com/a/157"
  },
  "external_ids": { "musicbrainz_id": "20244d07-534f-4eff-b4d4-930878889970" }
}
```

*Trimmed for readability.* Song rows (`record_type: "song"`) carry `artist_id` and `artist_name` plus the full song — "Shake It Off", popularity 90, released 2014-01-01. Album rows (`record_type: "album"`) carry the label, copyright and, with Album Tracklists on, every track.

### FAQ
