## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Gofile Scraper

Extract **public folder and file metadata** from [Gofile.io](https://gofile.io) — the free file-sharing and cloud-storage service. Give it public share links (`https://gofile.io/d/{share-code}`) and get back the listing the public folder page shows: names, sizes, types, checksums, timestamps, and download counts. No login required.

### What it collects

For every file and subfolder visible on a public Gofile folder page:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `name` | File or folder name |
| `type` | `file` or `folder` |
| `size` | File size in bytes (folders report the size of their listing, if present) |
| `mimetype` | MIME type of a file |
| `md5` | MD5 checksum of a file |
| `createTime` / `modTime` | Unix timestamps |
| `downloadCount` | Public download counter |
| `downloadPage` | Public share link of the item |
| `sourceUrl` | The folder page the item was found on |
| `depth` | Subfolder depth relative to the start URL |

Metadata only — the Actor never uploads or downloads files, and it never touches private content.

### How it works

The Actor opens the public folder page in a real Chromium browser and reads the listing the Gofile web app itself fetches. Subfolders are followed up to **Maximum folder depth**. Password-protected folders are skipped.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `startUrls` | array | — | Public Gofile share URLs (`https://gofile.io/d/{share-code}`) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Maximum content items per start URL |
| `maxDepth` | integer | `3` | Subfolder levels to follow (1–10) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | RESIDENTIAL | Apify Proxy settings |

Gofile filters datacenter IPs aggressively, so the input defaults to Apify **RESIDENTIAL** proxies.

### Use cases

- Inventory public shared folders you manage or follow (file names, sizes, changes)
- Track public download counters on files you distribute
- Audit public folder structure and naming
- Export folder listings to JSON, CSV, or Excel via Apify datasets

# Actor input Schema

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

Public Gofile share URLs (https://gofile.io/d/{share-code}). Metadata only — the Actor reads the public listing of each folder and its subfolders; it never downloads files.

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

Maximum number of content items (files and folders) to return per start URL.

## `maxDepth` (type: `integer`):

How many subfolder levels to follow below each start URL. 1 lists only the start folder's own children.

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

Apify Proxy configuration. Gofile filters datacenter IPs aggressively, so the prefill uses Apify RESIDENTIAL proxies. Keeping the prefill is recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://gofile.io/d/EuuAnW72"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxDepth": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://gofile.io/d/EuuAnW72"
        }
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("rainminer/gofile-io-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://gofile.io/d/EuuAnW72" }],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("rainminer/gofile-io-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://gofile.io/d/EuuAnW72"
    }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}' |
apify call rainminer/gofile-io-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rainminer/gofile-io-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
