## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

# README

## 🎞️ Archive.org Subtitle & Transcript Scraper — TXT, SRT & VTT

**Pull the subtitles/captions from any Internet Archive film, TV recording, or audio item — no login, no API key, no AI transcription. Archive.org hosts 3M+ captioned items (classic films, newsreels, lectures, TV news) and exposes them through public APIs; this actor downloads the caption files and parses them into clean transcript text, timestamped cues, and normalized SRT/VTT — one row per language. Point it at item URLs or an archive.org search query.**

Because the captions already exist (uploaded subtitles or archive's own ASR), there's no speech-to-text compute — it's fast and cheap.

---

### What does it do?

For each archive.org item you give it (by URL/identifier or discovered via search), it returns:

- 📝 **Full transcript** (clean plain text) — always included
- ⏲️ **Timestamped cues** — `{index, start_ms, end_ms, start, end, text}`
- 🎬 **Normalized SRT / VTT** — re-emitted with proper 3-digit millisecond stamps (archive's raw ASR files use non-standard 2-digit millis that break many players)
- 🌍 **One row per caption file/language** — grab English ASR plus every uploaded translation
- 🏷️ **Item metadata** — title, language, mediatype, collections, item URL
- 🔎 **Search discovery** — any advanced-search (Lucene) query, auto-scoped to captioned movies/audio, sorted by downloads
- 🚩 **Honest flags** — items with no captions, access-restricted items, and private/empty caption files are reported as such, never as silent zero-cue "successes"

No ASR, no API key — it reads the caption files archive.org already publishes.

---

### What data does it extract?

One dataset record per caption file (per language):

- 🆔 `identifier`, 🏷️ `item_title`, 🔗 `item_url`, 🌍 `language`, 📦 `mediatype`, 🗂️ `collection[]`, ⬇️ `downloads`
- 📄 `caption_file_name`, `caption_format` (SubRip / Web Video Text Tracks), 🌍 `caption_lang_code`, 🤖 `is_autogenerated` (.asr = archive's English ASR)
- 🔗 `caption_url`, 📏 `caption_size_bytes`
- 📝 `transcript`, ⏲️ `segments[]`, 🎬 `srt`, `vtt`, 🔢 `cue_count`
- 🚩 `restricted`, `note`, ✨ `is_new` (monitor), 🕒 `scraped_at`

#### Example output

```json
{
  "identifier": "Doctorin1946",
  "item_title": "Doctor in Industry (Part I)",
  "item_url": "https://archive.org/details/Doctorin1946",
  "mediatype": "movies",
  "caption_file_name": "Doctorin1946.asr.srt",
  "caption_format": "SubRip",
  "caption_lang_code": "en",
  "is_autogenerated": true,
  "caption_url": "https://archive.org/download/Doctorin1946/Doctorin1946.asr.srt",
  "caption_size_bytes": 14725,
  "cue_count": 217,
  "transcript": "When the thing with the name names …",
  "restricted": false,
  "scraped_at": "2026-06-12T00:00:00.000Z"
}
````

***

### Who is it for?

- 🤖 **AI / RAG dataset builders** — millions of hours of public-domain era film and TV speech, already transcribed.
- ✍️ **Documentary makers & editors** — search inside classic films and newsreels, get ready-to-cut SRT/VTT.
- 🔎 **Researchers & historians** — full-text search across mid-century educational films, TV news, and lectures.
- 🌍 **Localization & subtitle teams** — pull every language track an item carries in one run.

***

### How to use it (step by step)

1. Click **Try for free**.
2. Paste one or more **item URLs** (`https://archive.org/details/{identifier}`) or bare identifiers — or set a **search query** (e.g. `collection:prelinger`).
3. *(Optional)* filter **languages**, toggle **autogenerated (.asr)** captions, add extra **formats** (`srt`, `vtt`, `segments`).
4. Click **Start**, then open the **Dataset** tab to view/export.
5. *(Optional)* set **monitorMode** + a **searchQuery** + a **Schedule** to capture newly captioned items automatically.

#### Quick start

```json
{
  "itemUrls": ["https://archive.org/details/his_girl_friday"],
  "transcriptFormats": ["txt", "srt"]
}
```

#### Search a whole collection

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "collection:prelinger",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "transcriptFormats": ["txt", "segments"]
}
```

***

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|-------|--------------|
| `itemUrls` | archive.org item URLs / identifiers |
| `searchQuery` | advanced-search (Lucene) query — auto-scoped to captioned movies/audio, restricted items excluded, sorted by downloads |
| `languages` | keep only these caption language codes (empty = all) |
| `includeAutoGenerated` | include archive's `.asr` English ASR captions (default on) |
| `transcriptFormats` | `txt` · `segments` · `srt` · `vtt` |
| `maxItems` | hard cap on items per run (default 5; 0 = unlimited) |
| `maxCaptionFilesPerItem` | cap caption files per item (default 5; 0 = all) |
| `monitorMode`, `alertOnNewItem` | recurring new-item watcher + alerts |
| `webhookUrl`, `slackWebhookUrl`, `emailRecipients` | alert channels |
| `proxyConfiguration`, `requestConcurrency` | proxy + parallelism |

***

### Output

Each caption file is one dataset record (fields above). Items with **no captions**, **access-restricted** items, and **private/empty** caption files are emitted as flagged rows (`restricted`, `note`) so you always know why a transcript is missing. Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or RSS**, or fetch via the **Apify API**.

***

### How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event — and with **no transcription compute**, it's cheap:

| Event | What it covers | Price |
|-------|----------------|-------|
| `lot-scraped` | each record returned | $0.004 / record |
| `lot-detail-enriched` | each caption file downloaded + parsed | $0.004 / file |
| `monitor-run-completed` | each scheduled watch run | $0.05 / run |
| `new-lot-detected` | each new item found by the monitor | $0.02 / item |
| `alert-delivered` | each Slack/email/webhook push | $0.005 / alert |

That's about **$8 per 1,000 transcripts** (fetch + parse). No charge for actor starts or empty runs.

***

### Monitor & alert setup

1. Set a `searchQuery` (e.g. `collection:prelinger` or `subject:"television news"`).
2. Turn on `monitorMode` (and keep `alertOnNewItem` on).
3. Add a `webhookUrl`, `slackWebhookUrl`, and/or `emailRecipients`.
4. Create an **Apify Schedule** (e.g. daily). The first run baselines the seen items; every later run outputs and alerts **only new items**. State persists in a named key-value store (`archive-transcript-monitor-state`), so it survives between runs.

***

### How does it work without AI transcription?

Archive.org items carry caption files: uploader-provided `.srt`/`.vtt` subtitles and archive's own autogenerated English ASR (`.asr.srt`). This actor reads the item's public metadata, picks the caption files, downloads them, and runs a hardened parser that handles every variant found in the wild — BOM + CRLF files, 2-digit millisecond ASR stamps, `<i>` formatting tags, VTT headers with trailing junk, and cues without indices. It does **not** run speech-to-text, so there's no GPU cost and results are instant.

***

### Is it legal to scrape archive.org captions?

The Internet Archive is a non-profit library that publishes these items and APIs for public access, and much of the captioned material is public-domain era film. The output is published media content and item stats, not personal data. Scraping public data is generally legal, but **you are responsible for your use — review archive.org's Terms of Use and each item's rights/license statement before redistributing content.**

***

### FAQ

**Which items have captions?**
3M+ movies/audio items carry `.srt`/`.vtt` files — classic films, Prelinger educational shorts, TV news, lectures. The search mode finds them for you (it filters to `format:"SubRip" OR "Web Video Text Tracks"` automatically).

**Is there a Whisper/ASR step?**
No — it downloads the caption files archive.org already publishes (including archive's own ASR track), so it's fast and cheap.

**Can I get subtitles for video editing?**
Yes — add `srt` and/or `vtt` to `transcriptFormats`. The actor **normalizes** archive's non-standard 2-digit-millisecond stamps to proper `hh:mm:ss,mmm`, so the files work in any editor/player.

**What about multiple languages?**
Each caption file becomes its own row with `caption_lang_code` parsed from the filename. Use `languages` to keep only the ones you want.

**Why did an item return no transcript?**
Three honest cases, all flagged in the row: the item has no caption files (`note`), the item is **access-restricted** (its files are private and download as empty bodies — `restricted: true`), or a specific file is private/zero-byte. The actor never reports those as empty "successes".

**Can I crawl a whole collection?**
Yes — `searchQuery: "collection:{name}"` + `maxItems: 0`. Archive's search window caps at 10,000 rows per query; slice bigger collections by date (`publicdate:[2020-01-01 TO 2021-01-01]`).

**How fresh is monitor mode?**
Every scheduled run re-queries your search and diffs against the named state store — you get only items it hasn't seen before, plus optional Slack/webhook/email alerts.

**Does it need a proxy or login?**
No login or API key. Archive.org's endpoints are public; the default datacenter proxy rotation is plenty.

**How do I export?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or RSS from the Dataset tab, or via the Apify API.

**What does a 1,000-film crawl cost?**
With one caption file each: 1,000 × ($0.004 + $0.004) = **~$8**.

# Actor input Schema

## `itemUrls` (type: `array`):

Archive.org items to transcribe — full https://archive.org/details/{identifier} URLs or bare identifiers (e.g. his\_girl\_friday).

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Archive.org advanced-search (Lucene) query to discover captioned items, e.g. `collection:prelinger`, `title:(news) AND year:[1950 TO 1960]`, or plain keywords. The actor automatically scopes it to movies/audio with .srt/.vtt captions and excludes access-restricted items, then sorts by downloads. Leave empty to use Item URLs only.

## `languages` (type: `array`):

Keep only caption files in these language codes (from the filename suffix, e.g. en, es, ru; archive's autogenerated .asr captions count as en). Empty = all languages.

## `includeAutoGenerated` (type: `boolean`):

Archive.org auto-transcribes many films (English ASR, .asr.srt/.asr.vtt). Disable to keep only human-uploaded subtitle files.

## `transcriptFormats` (type: `array`):

Which transcript representations to include. Plain text is always included.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on archive.org items this run (0 = unlimited; search mode is window-capped at 10,000 by archive.org).

## `maxCaptionFilesPerItem` (type: `integer`):

Some items carry dozens of subtitle files (one per language). Cap how many are downloaded per item (0 = all).

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

Recurring watcher: diff against the prior run's seen items (per search query) and output/alert ONLY new items. Pair with a searchQuery + an Apify Schedule.

## `alertOnNewItem` (type: `boolean`):

In monitor mode, deliver an alert for each new item via the channels below.

## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`):

POST endpoint for new-item alert payloads.

## `slackWebhookUrl` (type: `string`):

Slack incoming-webhook URL for formatted cards.

## `emailRecipients` (type: `array`):

Emails for the new-item digest (via apify/send-mail).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Archive.org is a public API — datacenter rotation is plenty.

## `requestConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Max parallel item fetches. Keep modest — archive.org asks for polite crawling.

## `diagnose` (type: `boolean`):

Dev only. Dumps the raw item metadata JSON + logs caption-file picks and a parsed sample, then exits.
