## 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).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## 🦉 Duolingo Language Data Scraper

> 🚀 **Export the full Duolingo course catalog with learner counts and language stats.**

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-05-25 . **📊 9 fields** per record . **100+ courses** . **Every public Duolingo language course**

Export every public Duolingo language course. Each record includes the learning language, source language, learner count, and rollout phase. Filter by source or target language ISO code.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Researchers | Bulk data export for analysis. |
| Analysts | Build dashboards and reports. |
| Developers | Power apps with live structured data. |

### 📋 What the Duolingo Scraper does

- Pulls every available record from the public Duolingo source.
- Normalizes fields into a flat, analysis-ready table.
- Streams results to a dataset you can download as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or RSS.
- Runs on-demand or on a schedule.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** the public Duolingo interface is paginated and slow to scrape by hand. This actor gives you the whole dataset in minutes.

### ⚙️ Input

Provide the filters you need. Leaving filters empty returns the whole catalog.

```json
{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "fromLanguage": "en"
}
````

```json
{ "maxItems": 100 }
```

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** free users are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade to scale up to 1,000,000 records.
