## Pricing

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`).

- **NetEase song comments**: the hot comments of chart songs, or hot and newest comments for any NetEase song, with likes, date and IP region

### Use cases

- **Artist and campaign monitoring**: follow your artists' chart positions daily with a schedule.
- **Marketing and short video**: pick trending songs for content (the short-video charts follow Douyin hits).
- **Research**: build a daily history of Chinese music charts.

### Example input

The main charts of all three platforms (default):

```json
{
  "platforms": ["netease", "qq", "kugou"],
  "maxSongsPerChart": 100

```json
{
  "charts": ["飙升榜", "说唱", "欧美"],
  "maxSongsPerChart": 50
}
```

  "chartUpdatedAt": "2026-10-31"
}
```

- `rankChange` (QQ Music): `+3` up three places, `-2` down, `0` unchanged, `new`, `re-entry`, or `+49% plays` on charts ranked by play growth (飙升榜, 流行指数榜).
- NetEase and Kugou don't publish rank changes; schedule daily runs to compute them.
- Kugou entries have no album or release date on its chart pages.

### Pricing

**$0.001 per chart entry or comment ($1 per 1,000).** The default run (the main charts of all three platforms, about 1,000 songs) costs about $1; one chart of 100 songs $0.10. Listing charts is free.

### Notes

- Charts update daily or weekly, depending on the chart; each record carries the chart's update time where the platform gives it.
- Only public chart data is collected; no audio is downloaded.

## CLI example

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,sinodata/china-music-charts"

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
