Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## 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. 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) ## πŸ“š LibriVox Audiobooks Scraper > πŸš€ **Export the world's largest public-domain audiobook library in seconds.** Browse **20,000+ free audiobooks** from LibriVox, filter by title, author, language, or genre, and pull every section's reader credit, runtime, and direct audio URL. No login, no manual catalog scrape. > πŸ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-23 Β· **πŸ“Š 23 fields** per record Β· **πŸ“š 20,000+ audiobooks** Β· **🎀 100k+ volunteer readings** Β· **🌍 multilingual catalog** The **LibriVox Audiobooks Scraper** queries the LibriVox catalog and returns **23 structured fields per audiobook**, including the title, author list, primary author, language, copyright year, runtime in human-readable and seconds form, description, genres, translators, plus direct links to the LibriVox page, RSS podcast feed, ZIP download, Internet Archive page, and original Project Gutenberg text source. Optional extended mode adds the full sections list with per-section reader credits, individual playtimes, and per-file audio URLs. The catalog includes **classic literature read aloud (Project Gutenberg titles), original LibriVox productions, multilingual works, and short-story collections**. Most readings are in English but the project covers dozens of other languages including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Latin, Japanese, and Mandarin. This Actor turns the catalog into clean CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. | 🎯 Target Audience | πŸ’‘ Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | Audiobook app developers, podcast networks, education and EdTech teams, accessibility specialists, public libraries, audio content curators | Stock audiobook apps with free content, classroom listening assignments, accessibility libraries for visually impaired users, podcast feed generation, language-learning audio decks | --- ### πŸ“‹ What the LibriVox Audiobooks Scraper does Five filtering workflows in a single run: - πŸ”Ž **Title substring search.** Case-insensitive title match like `pride`, `monte cristo`. - ✍️ **Author substring search.** Match by author last name or full name. - 🌐 **Language filter.** Filter to a specific LibriVox language (English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, etc.). - 🎭 **Genre filter.** Pick one of 28 LibriVox genres (Romance, Crime & Mystery, Philosophy, Poetry, and more). - πŸ“‘ **Extended mode toggle.** When enabled, each record carries the full sections list with reader credits, runtimes, and audio URLs. Each record includes the LibriVox ID, title, full author list, primary author, language, copyright year, section count, total runtime (human-readable and seconds), full description (plain text and HTML), genres, translators when applicable, and the canonical LibriVox page, RSS podcast feed, ZIP archive URL, Project Gutenberg source link, Internet Archive page, and any other reference URLs. > πŸ’‘ **Why it matters:** LibriVox is the canonical free audiobook archive, but its catalog page is paginated and its section structure is nested under each book. Building your own crawler means walking thousands of pages and threading section lookups. This Actor returns everything as flat structured rows ready for a database or content platform. --- ### 🎬 Full Demo _🚧 Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to go from sign-up to a downloaded audiobook catalog._ --- ### βš™οΈ Input

Pick optional title, author, language, or genre filters and choose whether to include per-section detail. Click Start and the Actor returns clean rows with audio links, RSS feeds, ZIP archives, and reader credits. #### πŸ“ How complete is the metadata? LibriVox metadata is curated by volunteer catalogers. Most fields are populated, with the occasional gap for very old additions. The `description`, `genres`, and section reader credits are typically complete. #### πŸ” How often is the catalog refreshed? LibriVox publishes new audiobooks weekly. Every Actor run hits the live catalog, so new releases appear in your dataset right away. #### 🌐 Which languages are supported? Most audiobooks are in English, but LibriVox covers dozens of other languages including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Latin, Japanese, Mandarin, and more. Use the `language` input to filter. #### 🎀 Do I get per-chapter audio URLs? Yes, when `extended` is true. Each section carries the chapter name, reader credit, playtime, and a direct MP3 URL hosted by the Internet Archive. #### ⏰ Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to trigger this Actor on any cron interval (weekly is recommended for new releases). #### βš–οΈ Is this content legal to use? Yes. LibriVox audiobooks are public domain in the United States. Source texts are also typically Project Gutenberg public-domain works. Always verify the copyright status in your jurisdiction. #### πŸ’Ό Can I use these audiobooks commercially? Yes. LibriVox recordings are dedicated to the public domain worldwide. You can use, remix, and resell them freely. Attribution to the volunteer readers is a nice courtesy. #### πŸ’³ Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor? No. The free plan covers testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan unlocks the higher cap, scheduling, and concurrency. #### πŸ” What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted? Apify retries transient errors automatically. If a run still fails, inspect the log, fix the input, and restart. Partial datasets are preserved. #### πŸ†˜ What if I need help?
