## 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.

### Rocket Pool Node Operators Scraper

**Scrape Rocket Pool node operators, ranked by minipool count, RPL stake, ETH bonded, rewards earned, or registration time.** Each row is one operator with its current stats, sorted and capped to your limit. No API key or login. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Rocket Pool's official explorer shows node operators one page at a time, with no bulk export and no way to sort by the metrics that matter. This Actor reads the public operator list directly, sorts it by minipool count, RPL stake, ETH bonded, rewards earned, or registration time, and returns each operator as one flat row. You get the full ranked list in a single run, ready for analysis.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Rocket Pool for |
|---|---|
| Staking analysts | Rank operators by RPL stake to find the largest node operators on the network. |
| Rocket Pool researchers | Track how minipool counts and ETH bonded change over time across operators. |
| DeFi investors | Identify top operators by rewards earned before choosing a staking pool. |
| Protocol watchers | Monitor registration time to spot new operators joining the network. |

### What it does

This Actor collects Rocket Pool node operators, sorts them by a metric you choose, and returns each operator as one flat row with its current stats.

- 📊 **Sort by any metric:** minipool count, RPL stake, ETH bonded, rewards earned, or registration time.
- 🔽 **Ascending or descending:** get the top operators or the long tail with one setting.
- 🔢 **Cap the output:** preview 10 operators for free, or pull up to 1,000,000 with a paid plan.
- 📁 **Flat rows:** every operator is one record, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.

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

### What you can do with Rocket Pool data

**📈 Rank the largest node operators.**

A staking analyst runs the Actor sorted by minipool count descending to see which operators control the most minipools and how concentrated the network is.

**💰 Compare RPL stake and rewards.**

A DeFi investor sorts by rewards earned to find operators with the highest historical returns before delegating stake.

**🕒 Track new operator growth.**

A protocol watcher sorts by registration time ascending to see how many new operators joined in the last week and whether growth is accelerating.

**🔍 Audit ETH bonded.**

A researcher sorts by ETH bonded to verify collateralization levels across the top 100 operators and flag any outliers.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Reads the public Rocket Pool operator list directly, no registration or OAuth. |
| **Ranked output** | Sort by minipool count, RPL stake, ETH bonded, rewards earned, or registration time. |
| **Bulk export** | Get up to 1,000,000 operators in one run, not one page at a time. |
| **Fixed schema** | Every operator returns the same fields, so your pipeline never breaks. |

### How it compares

This Actor is the only one that scrapes Rocket Pool node operators. The competitor below scrapes esports rosters from Liquipedia, a different source, so it is not a direct alternative for Rocket Pool data.

| Feature | ParseForge | Esports Tournament Roster Scraper |
|---|---|---|
| Scrapes Rocket Pool node operators | Yes | Not listed |
| Sort by minipool count, RPL stake, ETH bonded, rewards, or registration time | Yes | Not listed |
| Returns one flat row per operator | Yes | Not listed |
| Exports to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML | Yes | Not listed |
| No API key or login required | Yes | Not listed |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a sort field, a sort order, and a maximum number of operators. Sorting happens before the cap, so you always get the top N by your chosen metric. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
 "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
 "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0085 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $0.85 |
| 1,000 results | $8.50 |
| 10,000 results | $85.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### 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 up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Rocket Pool Node Operators Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/rocketpool-node-operators-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 Rocket Pool 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/rocketpool-node-operators-scraper"
```

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

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting only 10 results?**

Free runs are limited to 10 operators as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems to a higher number, up to 1,000,000.

**Why is my sort order not working?**

Check the sortBy and sortOrder inputs. sortBy must be one of minipoolCount, rplStake, ethBonded, rewardsEarned, or registrationTime, and sortOrder must be asc or desc.

**Why are some operators missing?**

The Actor returns the top N operators after sorting. If you need more, increase maxItems. If an operator is not in the top N by your sort metric, it will not appear.

**Why did the run fail?**

The Rocket Pool explorer may be temporarily unavailable. Retry the run after a few minutes. If the problem persists, check the Actor log for details.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a Rocket Pool node operator? | A node operator is an address that runs Rocket Pool minipools, staking ETH and RPL to earn rewards. This Actor returns one row per operator address with its current stats. |
| Which metrics can I sort by? | You can sort by minipool count, RPL stake, ETH bonded, rewards earned, or registration time. Choose ascending or descending order. |
| How many operators can I get? | Free runs are limited to 10 operators as a preview. Paid plans can pull up to 1,000,000 operators in a single run. |
| Do I need a Rocket Pool API key? | No. The Actor reads the public operator list directly, so there is no API key, OAuth, or login required. |
| What format is the output? | Each operator is one flat row. You can export the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform. |
| How fresh is the data? | The Actor fetches the current operator list at the start of each run, so the data reflects the state of the Rocket Pool network at that moment. |
| Can I get historical data? | This Actor returns a snapshot of the current operator list. For historical trends, schedule regular runs and store the datasets over time. |
| What is RPL stake? | RPL stake is the amount of Rocket Pool's RPL token that an operator has staked as collateral. It is one of the sortable fields. |
| What is ETH bonded? | ETH bonded is the amount of ETH an operator has committed to their minipools. It is one of the sortable fields. |
| What is registration time? | Registration time is the timestamp when the operator first registered with Rocket Pool. Sort by it to see the oldest or newest operators. |
