Mojeek Image Scraper

Collect normalized Mojeek image cards from one query or a fair multi-query batch. The Actor follows validated native image-result pages and emits canonical image, thumbnail, source, creator, provider, license, dimension, filter, and provenance data.

Features

• Single-query, batch, and one-item modes
• Global/per-query limits and validated native pagination
• License, language, region, and Safe Search inputs
• Stable image-derived IDs and global deduplication
• Correct numeric thumbnail dimensions and computed aspect ratios
• Consistent Chrome fingerprints, cookie-persistent sessions, bounded retries, and configurable query concurrency
• Optional Apify Residential or custom proxy; the proxy country automatically follows the requested region when unspecified
• Atomic output and immediate fail-closed handling for CAPTCHA, verification, blocked responses, malformed HTML, and selector changes
• A 45-field linked dataset schema; optional fields are omitted when Mojeek does not expose them

Mojeek commonly rejects datacenter IPs, so Apify Residential proxy is recommended in cloud runs. GOOGLE_SERP is incompatible because it only supports eligible Google Search and Google Shopping requests.

Example input

{
  "queries": ["mountain landscapes", "ocean wildlife"],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 10,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "license": "cc",
  "language": "en",
  "region": "GB",
  "safeSearch": 0,
  "maxConcurrency": 1,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "GB"
  }
}

Set maxItems and maxItemsPerQuery to 1 for one-item mode.

Output contract

Required fields include stable identity, ordering, title plus its derivation source, canonical image/thumbnail/source URLs, source domain, engine and extraction provenance, query/filter context, and ISO-8601 scrape time. When present, the Actor also emits image alt text, dimensions, aspect ratio, MIME/format, Creative Commons license data, report URL, creator profile, provider, and tags.

Mojeek currently leaves many image title and alt attributes blank. In that case the Actor derives a readable title from the image filename or source-page slug and records the exact method in titleSource; it never fabricates metadata such as Google favicons, AI/stock labels, or advertising flags.

Blocked or failed runs never store CAPTCHA pages or partial result batches. A legitimate no-results page completes with an empty dataset.
