## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What you get

Each record is one Dribbble shot with its designer, cover image, engagement metrics and, when full details are on, the designer's follower count, location and whether they are open for work. That last field turns a design feed into a lead list of creatives you can actually hire.

- **designerUsername**: profile handle
- **designerId**: internal designer id
- **isPro**: whether the designer has a Dribbble Pro account
- **likes**: number of likes on the shot
- **views**: number of views on the shot
- **comments\***: number of comments on the shot
- **saves\***: number of times the shot was saved
- **publishedDate\***: when the shot was posted
- **isTeamShot\***: whether the shot was published by a team
- **shotFormat\***: image, video or other format
- **isAnimated\***: whether the shot is animated
- **tags\***: list of tags on the shot
- **colorPalette\***: hex colors sampled from the shot image
- **designerLocation\***: designer's city or country
- **availableForHire\***: whether the designer is open for work
- **designerFollowers\***: follower count of the designer
- **designerFollowing\***: how many profiles the designer follows
- **designerTotalLikes\***: total likes the designer has given

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I search on Dribbble with this scraper?**
You can pull shots by keyword search, by tag feed, by designer profile, or by pasting individual shot URLs. You can combine several keywords, tags and designers in a single run, and each record is tagged with the input it came from.

**How many shots can one run return?**
Set the Max Shots value to control it. Free Apify plans are capped at 15 shots per run to keep runs cheap; upgrade for unlimited. Feeds paginate automatically until your cap is reached.

**Does it tell me which designers are available for hire?**
Yes. When full details are enabled, each shot includes the designer's available-for-hire status along with their follower count and location, so you can filter the output down to creatives who are open for work.

**Why are some fields empty on a few shots?**
Detail fields like saves, comments, tags and color palette only fill when withDetails is on. A small number of shots, such as multi-image or video posts, do not expose a color palette, so that field can be empty for those.

**Can I get the exact view and like counts?**
Yes. Listing feeds show rounded counts, but with full details enabled the scraper reads the exact likes, views, saves and comments from each shot page.
