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. 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 ## Spotify Artist Growth Monitor Monitor public Spotify artists, tracks, albums, playlists, shows, and episodes. Capture a baseline, compare authorized snapshots, detect momentum, and generate an actionable report instead of a raw metadata dump. ### Features - Official Spotify oEmbed metadata with no login required - Optional authorized Spotify Web API token for richer metrics - Followers and popularity comparison when available - Momentum score, change alerts, and bilingual executive recommendations - JSON, CSV, Excel, API, webhooks, Make, Zapier, and n8n-ready output - No playback automation, stream manipulation, downloads, or playlist-placement promises ### Input example ```json { "spotifyUrls": ["https://open.spotify.com/artist/06HL4z0CvFAxyc27GXpf02"], "previousSnapshots": [], "generateReport": true, "language": "en" } ```` On the first run, the Actor records a baseline. On later runs, pass previous metrics in `previousSnapshots` to calculate follower and popularity changes. Without a Spotify access token, Spotify's official oEmbed API returns basic public metadata only; the Actor clearly marks this limitation and never invents missing metrics. ### Pricing - USD 0.005 per run - USD 0.015 per Spotify entity checked - USD 0.05 per generated growth report Platform usage is included. The report charge applies only when `generateReport` is enabled and a report is delivered. Set a maximum cost per run in Apify to control spending. ### Best for - Weekly artist and release snapshots - Label, manager, and campaign reporting - Detecting changes between authorized historical snapshots - Exporting structured data to dashboards, Sheets, Make, Zapier, or n8n ### Responsible use Use only public metadata or API access you are authorized to use. Follow Spotify's Developer Terms and attribution requirements. Do not use this Actor to download Spotify content, manipulate streams, train AI models on Spotify content, or misrepresent relationships with Spotify. This Actor is independent and is not endorsed by Spotify. ### Support Open an issue on the Actor page with the run ID. Never include access tokens or personal account data. # Actor input Schema ## `spotifyUrls` (type: `array`): Public Spotify artist, track, album, playlist, show, or episode URLs. ## `spotifyAccessToken` (type: `string`): Optional authorized Web API token for followers and popularity when available. ## `previousSnapshots` (type: `array`): Optional prior metrics used to calculate changes. ## `generateReport` (type: `boolean`): Create an executive summary after all entities are processed. ## `language` (type: `string`): Language for the final recommendation. ## Actor input object example ```json { "spotifyUrls": [ "https://open.spotify.com/artist/06HL4z0CvFAxyc27GXpf02" ], "previousSnapshots": [], "generateReport": true, "language": "en" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `report` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
