## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

## 🌊 Dune Trending Dashboards Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Dune Analytics crypto analytics records in seconds. Pull the full product or entity catalog into clean structured rows ready for analytics and downstream tooling.**

> 🕒 **Last updated** 2026-06-05 · **📊 12 fields** per record · Dune Analytics coverage · Real-time

The Dune Trending Dashboards Scraper turns the public [Dune Analytics](https://dune.com/browse/dashboards/trending) catalog into a clean structured feed. It calls the public storefront or platform API, normalizes the response, and surfaces one record per item.

Coverage spans the live crypto analytics surface of Dune Analytics. Every record carries the most important attributes upstream exposes, normalized into a flat row.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 📊 Data analysts | Mirror Dune Analytics data into structured rows |
| 🏢 Pricing teams | Track listings across runs |
| 🤖 ML engineers | Build training sets from crypto analytics catalogs |
| 📰 Journalists | Verify crypto analytics facts in seconds |
| 🎓 Researchers | Build longitudinal datasets of crypto analytics |
| 👩‍💻 Developers | Pipe Dune Analytics listings into your own warehouse |

### 📋 What the Dune Trending Dashboards Scraper does

- Calls the public Dune Analytics endpoint that powers the live page.
- Normalizes the response into one flat row per entity with stable field names.
- Applies optional client-side filters described in the input schema.
- Surfaces upstream rate-limit or error notes as a clean `error` record.
- Pushes structured rows into your dataset, ready for export in any of the supported download formats.

> 💡 **Why it matters** Direct access to the live Dune Analytics catalog without writing scraping code.
