## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

### Midjourney Gallery Scraper

**Scrape Midjourney images, prompts, and metadata from the public gallery.** Every record includes the prompt, Chinese translation, image URL, model version, author, and timestamp. No API key or browser automation. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Midjourney has no official public API for its gallery, so collecting prompts and images at scale means manual browsing or brittle browser scripts. This actor reads the public gallery pages directly, searches by keyword, and returns each post with its prompt, image, model, and author in one flat row. It works for trend analysis, prompt engineering research, and dataset building without rate limits or login.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Midjourney Gallery for |
|---|---|
| Prompt engineers | Study which prompts produce the best images for a given style or subject. |
| AI researchers | Build datasets of text-to-image pairs for model training or analysis. |
| Content marketers | Find trending visual styles and the prompts behind them for campaign inspiration. |
| Tool builders | Feed a prompt search engine or gallery browser with fresh Midjourney data. |

### What it does

This Actor collects Midjourney gallery posts by search query or latest feed and returns each one as a flat row with the prompt, Chinese prompt, image URL, model, author, and timestamp.

- **Search by keyword:** filter the gallery by any phrase and get only matching posts.
- **Sort order:** retrieve the latest posts first or use the default relevance ranking.
- **Bulk export:** collect posts in one run and download as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Midjourney Gallery data

**Analyze prompt trends.**

A prompt engineer scrapes the latest posts for a keyword like 'cyberpunk' to see which phrasing and model versions dominate the top results.

**Build a training dataset.**

An AI researcher collects prompt-image pairs from the gallery to fine-tune a text-to-image model on Midjourney's output style.

**Inspire a creative campaign.**

A marketing team scrapes posts tagged with a brand's visual theme to understand the current aesthetic and write prompts that match it.

**Power a prompt search tool.**

A developer runs the scraper daily to keep a third-party Midjourney prompt search engine populated with fresh gallery data.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key needed** | Reads the public gallery HTML directly, no registration or OAuth. |
| **Prompt and image together** | Each row pairs the full prompt with its image URL and metadata. |
| **Chinese prompt included** | Every post comes with its Chinese translation when available. |
| **Model and author tracking** | Know which Midjourney model version and user created each image. |

### How it compares

### What a Midjourney Gallery record looks like

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

```json
{
 "imageUrl": "https://reserve-mask-1256181000.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/file_512/img/cdn/prompt-20260720/w1792_h2688_gNXNDQmtVWWhqR05YcFdZT3djVmU2Zz09-7c7c18c0c99c574e1c6e77c48893a50e.webp",
 "itemId": "10032",
 "prompt": "AI Bot a mysterious young woman standing in a rainy neon alley in Tokyo at midnight, cinematic composition, dramatic rim light, reflective wet pavement, translucent umbrella, haute couture fashion styling, emotional storytelling, layered depth, volumetric fog, rich color contrast, magenta and cyan glow, ultra detailed skin texture, wind-blown hair, analog film look, editorial photography, award-winning cinematography, surreal yet believable, highly aesthetic, Midjourney style --ar 2:3 --s 750 --c 18 --v 6.0",
 "chinesePrompt": "- MJ-V7",
 "thumbnailUrl": "https://reserve-mask-1256181000.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/file_512/img/cdn/prompt-20260720/w1792_h2688_gNXNDQmtVWWhqR05YcFdZT3djVmU2Zz09-7c7c18c0c99c574e1c6e77c48893a50e.webp",
 "model": "MJ-V7",
 "author": "AI Bot",
 "timestamp": "2026-08-25 23:20",
 "link": "https://mj.bandeyu.com/prompt/show/10032",
 "altText": "生成成功，当图片超过30M时，不在此显示缩略图（请直接点击下方的【下载高清原图】即可）",
 "dataModel": "Midjourney",
 "scrapedAt": "2026-08-25T15:20:38.107Z"
}
```

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 with a search query or leave it empty to browse all recent posts. Sorting and a max-items limit let you control the volume and freshness of the data. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
 "sortBy": "latest",
 "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
 "sortBy": "latest",
 "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect more results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Midjourney Gallery Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/midjourney-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
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](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

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

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/midjourney-scraper"
```

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

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results for my search query?**

The gallery may not have any posts matching that exact phrase. Try a broader keyword or leave the search query empty to confirm the scraper is working with the latest feed.

**The run stopped before reaching my maxItems limit.**

The gallery only shows a finite number of pages. When the scraper reaches the last available page, it stops. Try a different search query or sort order to access more posts.

**Some image URLs are broken or missing.**

The gallery occasionally removes or moves images. The scraper returns whatever URLs are present on the page at the time of the run. Re-run later to get updated links.

**I only got 10 items even though I set a higher maxItems.**

Free Apify accounts are limited to 10 items per run for preview. Upgrade to a paid plan to unlock the full maxItems range.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does this scraper need a Midjourney account or API key? | No. It reads the public gallery pages directly, so no login, API key, or browser automation is required. |
| Can I scrape images by a specific Midjourney model version? | The gallery does not offer a model-version filter, but every returned post includes the model field so you can filter after export. |
| What format are the image URLs in? | Each row contains the full-resolution image URL and a thumbnail URL. You can download the images separately using those links. |
| How many posts can I scrape in one run? | Free users are limited to 10 items for preview. Paid users can set a higher maxItems per run. |
| Does the scraper translate prompts into Chinese? | The gallery itself provides a Chinese translation for many posts. The scraper includes that field when it is present. |
| Can I scrape the gallery without a search query? | Yes. Leave the search query empty and set the sort order to latest to browse all recent posts. |
| Is the data returned in real time? | The scraper reads the live gallery pages, so you get the posts that are publicly visible at the moment the run executes. |
| Can I schedule this scraper to run daily? | Yes. You can set up an Apify schedule to run the actor automatically and collect new posts as they appear. |
