The most complete DeviantArt scraper available. It returns every field a deviation exposes (image, title, stats, license, file type, maturity and AI-generated flags), enriches each artwork with description, full tag list, image dimensions and download price, adds artist details (watchers, level, speciality), and gives you four input modes plus opt-in AI enrichment to target exactly the deviations you need.

What it does

The actor collects deviations (artworks) from DeviantArt by search keyword, tag, direct deviation URL, or artist, and writes one normalized record per deviation to the run's dataset. Each record carries the image URL, title, deviation URL and ID, media type, engagement stats (favourites, comments, views, downloads), maturity and AI-generated flags, license, file type, and the artist's username, level, speciality, and watcher count.

With withDetails on (the default), each deviation is opened to add its full description, complete tag list, image dimensions, file size, watermark flag, and download price when it is for sale. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented. Optional paid add-ons can attach an AI artwork summary and AI discovery tags.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 10 deviations matching "fantasy landscape" with full details.

{
  "searchQueries": ["fantasy landscape"],
  "maxDeviations": 10,
  "withDetails": true
}

Provide at least one of searchQueries, tags, deviationUrls, or artistUrls. Turn off withDetails for a faster, lighter run.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~deviantart-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["fantasy landscape"],"maxDeviations":10,"withDetails":true}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~deviantart-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"artistUrls":["Dissunder"],"maxDeviations":50}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/deviantart-scraper \
  --input '{"tags":["dragon"],"maxDeviations":25}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per deviation record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Details and AI add-ons are billed separately. Fetching deviation details, AI summary, and AI tags each charge only when they succeed and only when enabled.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 deviations per run. AI add-ons are disabled on free plans. Upgrade for higher limits.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Which input should I use? Use searchQueries for keyword discovery, tags to browse a tag, deviationUrls for specific artworks, or artistUrls to pull an artist's gallery. You can combine them; results are capped by maxDeviations.

Why is description or tags empty? Those come from the deviation detail page. Turn on withDetails (the default) to populate description, full tags, dimensions, and download price.

Can I tell which artworks are AI-generated? Yes. isAiGenerated reflects DeviantArt's AI-generated flag on the deviation.

Why is downloadPriceUsd null? The deviation is not for paid download, or no price is published. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Is this an official DeviantArt tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with DeviantArt. It reads only data that is publicly available. Use it in accordance with the source's terms and respect artists' rights.
