## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## 🐻 GOG Scraper - DRM-Free Games, Prices & Deals - RecordsData

> 🚀 **The GOG Scraper is an Apify actor that exports GOG.com's DRM-free catalog: 12,800+ games with regional prices, live discounts (8,624 games on sale, measured September 2026, up to -95%), user ratings, genres, tags, platforms and release dates.** Sort by trending, bestselling, rating, newest, price or biggest discount; search by title; and pull full product descriptions per ID. Export to CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.

Prices come from GOG's own catalog service in your chosen country and currency, so deal feeds are exact and localized.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Deal sites and price trackers | Discount feeds sorted by depth |
| Game marketers and analysts | The DRM-free market, quantified |
| Bot and newsletter builders | Daily deal digests per region |
| Collectors | Catalog datasets with ratings and tags |

### 📋 What the GOG Scraper does

- **Catalog rows**: title, final and base price with discount %, user rating (out of 5) and review count, developers, publishers, genres, tags, OS support, release date, cover and store link.
- **Deal mode**: only-discounted filter + biggest-discount sort = a ready deal feed.
- **Regional pricing**: any country and currency pair.
- **Product details**: full description, languages, compatibility and preorder/in-development flags per numeric ID.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** GOG is the DRM-free store with legendary sales; this actor turns its whole catalog and every discount into datasets.
