🎮 VNDB Visual Novels Scraper
🚀 Export visual novel data from VNDB in one run. Search by title or browse the catalog and get clean records with cover art, ratings, languages, developers, and tags.
Turn the Visual Novel Database into structured records you can drop into a wiki, a recommendation engine, a release tracker, or a personal backlog. Type a search term or leave it empty to browse the whole catalog, sort the way you want, and pull back one tidy record per visual novel.
Coverage is the public VNDB catalog as served by the official Kana API: every visual novel with its cover image, title and aliases, release date, rating and vote count, play length, available languages, developers, and content tags.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Fan site and wiki maintainers | Keep VN pages current with ratings and tags |
| Recommendation tool builders | Seed a database with titles, tags, and scores |
| Researchers and data analysts | Study release trends, languages, and ratings |
| Collectors and players | Build and track a personal backlog |
📋 What the VNDB Visual Novels Scraper does
This Actor calls the public VNDB Kana API and returns one clean record per visual novel:
- Search by title or alias, or leave the search empty to browse every visual novel.
- Sort by rating, vote count, release date, title, ID, or search rank.
- Filter with raw VNDB filter expressions when you need precise control.
You control how many records come back, and every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp and a direct url to its VNDB page.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: aliases, description, developers, id, imageUrl, languages, length, lengthLabel, lengthMinutes, rating, released, scrapedAt, tags, title, url, votecount. All 16 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
