Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README # Actor input Schema ## `scrapeType` (type: `string`): What to scrape from SoundCloud: search, user tracks, playlist tracks, trending charts, or lookup by URL. ## `query` (type: `string`): Keywords to search for tracks, playlists, or users on SoundCloud. ## `searchKind` (type: `string`): Type of results to return when searching. ## `username` (type: `string`): SoundCloud username or profile URL to fetch all tracks from. ## `playlistUrl` (type: `string`): Full SoundCloud playlist or album URL to extract all tracks from. ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of SoundCloud track, playlist, or user URLs to look up. ## `genre` (type: `string`): Filter trending charts by genre (e.g. hip-hop, electronic, pop, rock, ambient). ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of items to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "scrapeType": "search", "query": "lofi hip hop", "searchKind": "tracks", "username": "nocopyrightsounds", "playlistUrl": "https://soundcloud.com/artist/sets/playlist-name", "urls": [ "https://soundcloud.com/artist/track-name" ], "genre": "electronic", "limit": 20 } ```` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "urls": [ "https://soundcloud.com/thechainsmokers" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("rupom888/soundcloud-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
