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

This Apify Actor **scrapes player profiles from the StadiumPrime agency search** at [stadiumprime.com/agency/search](https://stadiumprime.com/agency/search). It authenticates using session cookies, fills the search form (all positions, a specific country, and gender), then extracts detailed player data across all result pages. The scraper uses **human-like behavior** — random delays between actions, smooth scrolling, and natural click patterns — to avoid detection. Built on the Apify platform, it supports API access, scheduling, and integrations with tools like Zapier, Make, and Google Sheets. ### How to scrape StadiumPrime player data 1. **Get your session cookies**: Log in to StadiumPrime in your browser, then export your cookies (use a browser extension like "EditThisCookie" or "Cookie-Editor"). 2. **Provide cookies as input**: Paste the full JSON cookie array into the Actor's input. The critical cookie is `stadiumprime.com.prod.sid`. 3. **Run the Actor**: Click "Start" — the scraper will fill the search form, click through all pages, and extract every player. 4. **Download your data**: Once finished, download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab. ### Input The Actor requires a `cookies` array — your StadiumPrime session cookies exported from the browser: ```json { "cookies": [ { "name": "stadiumprime.com.prod.sid", "value": "s%3A...", "domain": "stadiumprime.com", "path": "/" }, { "name": "userConnect", "value": "agency", "domain": "stadiumprime.com", "path": "/" } ] } ```` > **Note**: Session cookies expire. You'll need to re-export them periodically. ### Output The Actor pushes player data to the default dataset. Each item looks like: ```json { "name": "John Doe", "age": "24", "height": "185 cm", "weight": "78 kg", "city": "Paris", "contract": "Free Agent", "status": "Available", "imageUrl": "https://stadiumprime.com/uploads/player123.jpg", "position": "Midfielder", "profileUrl": "https://stadiumprime.com/player/123" } ``` You can download the dataset in various formats such as **JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel**. ### Data fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `name` | Player's full name | | `age` | Player's age | | `height` | Height (e.g., "185 cm") | | `weight` | Weight (e.g., "78 kg") | | `city` | City of residence | | `contract` | Contract status | | `status` | Current player status | | `imageUrl` | URL to player's photo | | `position` | Playing position | | `profileUrl` | Link to full player profile | ### How much does it cost to scrape StadiumPrime? The Actor uses a single Playwright browser session and processes pages sequentially with human-like delays. A full run scraping ~260 players across 13 pages typically takes 3-5 minutes, which costs well under **$0.05** in Apify platform compute units. ### Tips - **Fresh cookies are essential** — the session cookie (`stadiumprime.com.prod.sid`) expires relatively quickly. Always provide recently exported cookies. - **Include all cookies** — while only the session cookie is strictly required for auth, including analytics and consent cookies makes the session look more natural. - **Runs are deterministic** — the search filters (all positions, country #77, gender #1) are hardcoded, so every run produces the same result set (assuming the data hasn't changed). ### FAQ and support - **Is it legal to scrape StadiumPrime?** This Actor is designed for use by authenticated users with valid accounts. You are responsible for complying with StadiumPrime's Terms of Service. - **My run fails immediately** — check that your cookies haven't expired. Re-login and export fresh cookies. - **I get fewer results than expected** — the website may have changed its layout. Open an issue on the [Issues tab](https://console.apify.com/actors) if you encounter problems.

Must include the 'stadiumprime.com.prod.sid' session cookie. Export cookies from your browser after logging in. ## `startFresh` (type: `boolean`): If true, ignore saved progress and start scraping from the beginning. If false (default), the scraper will resume from where it last stopped. ## Actor input object example ```json { "cookies": [ { "name": "stadiumprime.com.prod.sid", "value": "YOUR_SESSION_COOKIE_VALUE", "domain": "stadiumprime.com", "path": "/" } ], "startFresh": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `players` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "cookies": [ { "name": "stadiumprime.com.prod.sid", "value": "YOUR_SESSION_COOKIE_VALUE", "domain": "stadiumprime.com", "path": "/" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapyspider/stadiustadiumprime-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
