## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### How to scrape Mixcloud 🚀

1. Choose **Profile Search** in **What to collect**, or select another collection mode.
2. Fill in the search fields, or paste links to the items you want to collect.
3. Set the maximum results and any optional filters.
4. Start the Actor and review the collected rows.
5. Export the dataset or connect it to your application.

#### Mixcloud show search scraper — input example

```json
{
  "mode": "show_search",
  "searchQueries": [
    "jazz"
  ],

`maxResults: 10` means up to 10 results for **each input**. It does not guarantee that the website has that many matches. You can set the limit as low as 1.

#### Mixcloud DJ profiles scraper — input example

```json
{
  "mode": "profile",
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

#### Mixcloud DJ and radio station search scraper — input example

```json
{

  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

#### Mixcloud profile shows scraper — input example

```json
{
  "mode": "shows",
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

#### Mixcloud show details scraper — input example

```json
{
  "mode": "show",
  "showUrls": [
    "https://www.mixcloud.com/JazzDiscover/top-new-smooth-jazz-90-mins-of-smooth-jazz-mix-july-2022/"

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.

### Input requirements and collection settings ⚙️

| Setting | What to enter |
|---|---|
| **What to collect** (`mode`) | Choose the information to collect. |
| **Maximum results per search or link** (`maxResults`) | Collect up to this many results for each search or link. Minimum: 1. |
| **Search keywords** (`searchQueries`) | Enter one search phrase per line. For Profile Search, Show Search. |
| **Profile links** (`profileUrls`) | Paste one link per line. Example: https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/ For Profile, Profile Shows. |
| **Show links** (`showUrls`) | Paste one link per line. Example: https://www.mixcloud.com/JazzDiscover/top-new-smooth-jazz-90-mins-of-smooth-jazz-mix-july-2022/ For Show. |

| Collection mode | Fields to use |
|---|---|
| Profile | **Profile links** |
| Profile Search | **Search keywords** |
| Profile Shows | **Profile links** |
| Show | **Show links** |
| Show Search | **Search keywords** |

The result limit applies separately to each search or supplied link. Collection ends earlier when no more matching results are available.

### Mixcloud scraping use cases 🎯

#### Radio show discovery

Find programs covering a genre or subject for editorial selection.

#### DJ scouting

Compare public creator profiles and show catalogs before partnership research.

#### Station benchmarking

Study the publishing activity and available audience figures of radio stations.

#### Music curation

Organize show tags and duration to support programming decisions.

#### Audio catalog enrichment

Collect show descriptions, artwork and source links in a consistent dataset.

### 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 `failed` row 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.
- `maxResults` caps 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.

### Mixcloud scraper API and integrations 🔌

Replace `$ACTOR_ID` with the ID shown in the Actor API tab and `$APIFY_TOKEN` with your token.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"show_search","searchQueries":["jazz"],"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.

This actor exports show and profile information, not audio downloads or private listening history.

Mixcloud 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 Mixcloud?

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 collect all listed shows from a station?

Shows collects a supported station or creator’s public uploads up to the chosen result limit.

#### Can I search for DJs as well as shows?

Yes. Profile Search and Show Search are separate modes.

#### 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 🛟

For a reproducible issue, share the run ID, selected mode, result limit and a safe public example through the support channel. Never disclose access tokens, passwords or proxy credentials.

Use public Mixcloud information lawfully and responsibly. Follow applicable privacy, copyright, data-protection, contractual and platform requirements when storing, analyzing or redistributing results.
