Images, tags and other lists stay with their parent result instead of creating extra rows. Invalid or unavailable inputs, inputs with no results, and requests that fail after all retries produce a row with status: failed. At most one failed row is saved per input; it includes error_code and error_message explaining the outcome. A normal end of pagination after collected results does not add a failed row.

500px scraping use cases 🎯
Photographer shortlists
Find landscape or portrait photographers and compare their public portfolios before selecting collaboration candidates.
Visual trend research
Collect photos for a recurring subject and compare styles, framing and available engagement.
Portfolio reviews
Export a photographer’s published works so creative teams can review titles, previews and descriptions together.
Gallery curation
Research existing galleries and their works to plan themed photography collections.
Camera research
Compare the equipment and exposure settings shown on selected photographs.
Pricing and saved-result behavior 💰
See the Actor's Pricing tab for the active pricing model and current rate. Store settings may change, so this README does not claim a fixed cost.
Under dataset-item pricing:
- Each collected item saved in the dataset is one result.
- Images, tags and other values attached to that item do not create additional rows.
- Automatic retry attempts do not create extra dataset rows.
- A saved
failedrow is also one billable dataset item, including invalid inputs, unavailable items, no results, or exhausted retries. At most one failed row is saved per input, including when some results were already collected. maxResultscaps all saved rows for each input, including its failed row. Repeated copies of the same input are processed once. More inputs or a higher limit can produce more saved results.
500px scraper API and integrations 🔌
Replace $ACTOR_ID with the ID shown in the Actor API tab and $APIFY_TOKEN with your token.
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"mode":"photo_search","searchQueries":["landscape"],"maxResults":10}'
Use schedules for recurring collection, webhooks for completion notifications, and Apify integrations for Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, cloud storage, a CRM or your own application.
Reliability, retries, and public-data limits ⚠️
Temporary connection errors, timeouts and access restrictions are retried automatically, up to five attempts. Invalid inputs save a failed row without an HTTP request; confirmed unavailable items save a failed row without unnecessary retries. Exhausted retries also save a failed row. Results already collected remain available if a later request fails, and normal pagination completion adds no error row. Collection also stops after two consecutive fully processed pages add no new results, even if the website provides another cursor. Required detail lookups are completed before checking a page; new results reset the counter, and independent reply branches are checked separately. Failures while initializing the Actor, saving data or scheduling requests stop the run instead of being reported as a failed website result.
Camera settings and engagement figures appear only when the photo page exposes them.
Image URLs do not grant permission to reuse or license a photograph.
500px controls which information is publicly available. Removed, private or restricted items may be unavailable, and optional values can be null or empty. A run can still fail if the results cannot be saved.
Frequently asked questions ❓
Does it require an account on 500px?
No. You do not need to provide an account, password or login cookies. Only publicly available information is collected.
How does maxResults work?
It limits the number of saved results separately for every input. The minimum is 1. With maxResults set to 10, each input returns at most 10 available results. A detail lookup normally returns one record per input.
Can I export a complete photographer portfolio?
Choose Profile Works and supply a supported public profile. The actor collects the available works up to your result limit.
Does it include camera settings?
Photo Details includes available EXIF information such as camera, lens, aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
Why are some fields empty?
The website may not publish that value, or the field may belong to a different collection mode. Missing values remain null or empty instead of being guessed.
Can I export the results to a spreadsheet?
Yes. Download CSV, Excel or JSON from the Apify dataset. All returned fields are included in the same results table.
Support and responsible use 🛟
