ComicWalker Chapter Images Scraper

ComicWalker Chapter Images Scraper

Scrape manga chapter images and metadata from ComicWalker's daily new API. Every work comes with its title, episode codes, thumbnails, label info, and serialization status. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

ComicWalker's official site shows the latest manga updates but offers no easy way to extract structured data for analysis or archiving. This Actor reads the public daily new API endpoint directly and returns each work as a flat row with all available metadata.

What a ComicWalker record looks like

Every record returns as one flat JSON row. Here is a real one from a run:

{
 "imageUrl": "https://cdn.comic-walker.com/integration/cdpf/resources/019790/resized/265bd558-ee7b-4c92-9b16-5bfabbd64a1c.jpg",
 "date": "2026-08-17",
 "title": "でかいはち",
 "workCode": "KC_019790_S",
 "workId": "019f843a-561e-76e2-aef5-ab11c1b11794",
 "originalThumbnail": "https://cdn.comic-walker.com/integration/cdpf/resources/019790/265bd558-ee7b-4c92-9b16-5bfabbd64a1c.jpg",
 "bookCover": "https://cdn.comic-walker.com/integration/bibliodb/cover-image/prd/image/bw/coverImage_ac413028423e4204aac05e47d163623c.jpg",

 "isNew": true,
 "episodeType": "latest",
 "episodeCode": "KC_0197900000400011_E",
 "episodeTitle": "第3話"
}

Every value above comes from a real run. A field a record does not have comes back as null.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor from the ComicWalker daily new API endpoint, prefilled for you. The max items filter limits how many works are returned so you only get the data you need. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "startUrl": "https://comic-walker.com/api/daily/new",
 "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
 "startUrl": "https://comic-walker.com/api/daily/new",
 "maxItems": 200
}

Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. Upgrade your Apify plan to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the ComicWalker Chapter Images Scraper.
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to ComicWalker through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/comicwalker-chapter-images-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the start URL is correct and accessible. The prefilled URL should work, but if you changed it, verify the endpoint returns JSON.

The run fails with a timeout error.

The API may be temporarily slow. Try reducing the max items limit or running again later.

I see only 10 items even though I set a higher max.

Free accounts are limited to 10 items. Upgrade to a paid plan to scrape more.

The output has missing fields.

Some works may not have all fields (e.g., no thumbnail). The Actor returns whatever the API provides.
