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 ## Farcaster Scraper — Profiles, Casts & Channels Scrape **Farcaster**, the fast-growing crypto-native social network, via the public Warpcast API. No key required for reads. **What you can extract:** - 👤 **Profiles** by username or fid — follower counts, bio, pfp - 💬 **Casts** — a user's recent posts with reply/reaction/recast counts - 📺 **Channel feeds** — the conversation in any channel ### Quick start 1. Click **Run** — default pulls a well-known founder's profile + casts 2. Add usernames, fids, or channel keys (dev, memes, farcaster) 3. Schedule for ongoing crypto-social listening ### Use cases - **Crypto/web3 marketing** — track builders, founders and channels - **Creator research** — profile stats + engagement - **Social listening** on a network the mainstream scrapers ignore - **AI agents** — MCP-ready ### Pricing Pay per result row delivered. ### FAQ **Key needed?** No — reads use the public Warpcast API. **[Try the Farcaster Scraper on Apify →](https://apify.com/samwise.agency/farcaster-scraper)** # Actor input Schema ## `usernames` (type: `array`): Farcaster usernames (e.g. 'dwr', 'v'). Returns profile + casts. ## `fids` (type: `array`): Farcaster IDs (numeric) to fetch casts for. ## `channels` (type: `array`): Channel keys to pull feeds for (e.g. 'farcaster', 'dev', 'memes'). ## `includeCasts` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each user's recent casts (not just the profile). ## `maxCastsPerUser` (type: `integer`): Cap on casts fetched per user. ## `maxItemsPerChannel` (type: `integer`): Cap on casts fetched per channel. ## Actor input object example ```json { "usernames": [ "dwr" ], "fids": [], "channels": [], "includeCasts": true, "maxCastsPerUser": 25, "maxItemsPerChannel": 50 } ```` # 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 = { "usernames": [ "dwr" ], "fids": [], "channels": [] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("samwise.agency/farcaster-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 📖?
