## 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.

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.

# README

### 🌟 Cameo Listings Scraper

Extract celebrity and creator listings from **Cameo** at scale. The **Cameo Listings Scraper** turns any Cameo browse or category page into structured, ready-to-use data — names, professions, pricing, ratings, and full talent profiles — perfect for market research, price monitoring, and talent discovery.

Run it on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com) to get API access, scheduling, and dataset exports (JSON, CSV, Excel) out of the box.

### ✨ What does Cameo Listings Scraper do?

- 🎭 **Rich talent data** – Get each celebrity's name, profession, video price, direct-message price, business price, average rating, and review count.
- 🗂️ **Any category** – Scrape actors, athletes, comedians, musicians, reality-TV stars, creators, and every subcategory (e.g. `athletes/football`, `reality-tv/bravo`).
- 🔎 **Optional deep profiles** – Flip on **Scrape full profile details** to also pull bios, complete pricing with business add-ons, social links, and review & video counts.
- ⚡ **Fast & lightweight** – Pulls ~60 fully-populated profiles per page and paginates automatically until your item limit is reached.

### 💡 Why use Cameo Listings Scraper?

- **Price intelligence** – Track how much talent charges for personalized videos, DMs, and business bookings over time.
- **Talent discovery** – Build shortlists of creators by category, rating, and price for marketing or booking campaigns.
- **Market research** – Analyze ratings, review volume, and pricing distribution across a whole category.
- **Lead lists** – Export creators with their public profiles and social links for outreach.

### 🛠️ How to use Cameo Listings Scraper

1. **Add category URLs** – Paste one or more Cameo browse/category URLs, e.g. `https://www.cameo.com/browse/actors`.
2. **Set your limit** – Choose how many profiles to collect with **Max items**.
3. **(Optional) Enable full details** – Turn on **Scrape full profile details** for the richer per-profile dataset.
4. **Run it** – Start the Actor and download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull it via the API.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Description |

### 💰 How much does it cost to scrape Cameo?

This Actor uses a **pay-per-result** model:

- **$0.005 per listing** collected (default mode).
- **$0.02 per full profile** when **Scrape full profile details** is enabled.

So 1,000 listings cost about **$5**, and 1,000 full profiles about **$20**. New Apify accounts include free monthly usage credits, so you can try it at no cost.

### 🎯 Tips

- Start with **Scrape full profile details** off to cheaply build a broad list, then re-run with it on for just the profiles you care about.
- Use subcategory URLs (e.g. `https://www.cameo.com/browse/athletes/football`) to target a niche precisely.
- Increase **Max items** gradually — the Actor paginates automatically, so a single category can yield thousands of profiles.

### ❓ FAQ

**Is scraping Cameo legal?**
This Actor collects only publicly available information. As with any scraping, you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Cameo's Terms of Service and applicable laws (including data-protection regulations).

**Can I schedule regular runs?**
Yes. Use Apify [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run the Actor automatically and track pricing or ratings over time.

**Something's not working or missing?**
Open an issue from the Actor's **Issues** tab — feedback and custom-scraping requests are welcome.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Cameo browse or category pages to scrape talent listings from, e.g. https://www.cameo.com/browse/actors or https://www.cameo.com/browse/athletes/football.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of talent profiles to scrape across all start URLs.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each talent's profile page for richer data (bio, full pricing with add-ons, socials, review and video counts). Slower and more expensive than listing-only scraping.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Cameo does not require a proxy, but you can enable one if needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.cameo.com/browse/actors"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
