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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## GOG.com Games Scraper Scrape game listings from GOG.com – including titles, prices, supported platforms, categories, and cover images. This actor uses a stealth browser to render the dynamic AngularJS page and extract structured data for every product, enabling you to build price trackers, game directories, or market research datasets. ### Features - Extracts product title, price, currency, product URL, and cover image - Identifies Windows, macOS, and Linux support flags - Detects whether an item is a game, movie, or other category - Captures coming soon, buyable, and free status - Collects the full description for each product - Configurable pagination limit (max items) - Built-in Apify proxy support for reliable scraping ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | maxItems | integer | `100` | Maximum number of items to scrape from the GOG.com games listing. | | startUrl | string | `"https://www.gog.com/en/games?page=1"` | The URL of the GOG.com games listing page to start scraping from. Defaults to the main games page. | | proxyConfiguration | object | `{"useApifyProxy": true}` | Configuration of proxy settings for the scraper. | ### Output Each dataset item is a game listing with all available fields. Example: ```json { "id": "1307072587", "title": "Hollow Knight", "price": "14.99", "currency": "USD", "imageUrl": "https://images.gog.com/123456789.jpg", "productUrl": "https://www.gog.com/en/game/hollow_knight", "windowsSupport": true, "macSupport": false, "linuxSupport": false, "isGame": true, "isMovie": false, "isComingSoon": false, "isBuyable": true, "isFree": false, "description": "Forge your own path in the vast, interconnected world of Hallownest...", "coverImageUrl": "https://images.gog.com/123456789_cover.jpg", "category": "game" } ```` ### Usage 1. **Sign in or create a free Apify account** – [Sign up here](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to run this actor. 2. **Open the actor** – Go to the GOG.com Games Scraper page on Apify Console. 3. **Configure the input** – Adjust `maxItems` or `startUrl` if needed, or keep the defaults. 4. **Run the scraper** – Click "Run" and wait for the dataset to be ready. 5. **Download results** – Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or XML, or access it via the Apify API. > Start scraping GOG.com listings now – no coding required. > **🆘 Need Help?** [Open our contact form](https://tally.so/r/BzdKgA) > **⚠️ Disclaimer:** independent tool, not affiliated with the source website.
