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.

Discover templates by search term, category page, or an entire creator portfolio, and enrich each one with the design details that live only on its template page. Built for designers, marketing teams, template sellers, and AI dataset builders who need structured Canva template data without clicking through endless gallery pages one at a time. ### Why This Scraper? - **Four discovery modes in one actor** — keyword search, category/list pages, full creator portfolios via `/p/` profile URLs, and single template pages. Mix keywords and pasted URLs in the same run. - **Dominant color palette as hex codes** — every detail-enriched template returns its actual color swatches (e.g. `["#F4A261", "#264653", "#E76F51"]`), ready to drop into a brand-matching or trend-analysis pipeline. - **Font detection per template** — the exact font family names used in each design, so you can map which typefaces trend in a niche. - **Exact pixel dimensions** — width × height as a clean `"1080 x 1350 px"` string plus separate numeric `width`/`height` fields, so you instantly know each template's format. - **Pro-vs-free flag on every row** — `isPro: true/false` lets you filter for free-tier templates or isolate premium Canva Pro designs. - **Creator attribution with profile link** — `creatorName` plus a direct `/p/` profile URL, so you can trace a design back to its author or pull their whole catalog. - **11 languages and locales** — English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese, with properly localized template titles. - **Hundreds of templates enriched in seconds** — full color, font, and dimension detail is fetched for every template in parallel, so deep runs stay fast instead of crawling one page at a time. - **One clean result cap** — a single `maxResults` knob (0 = unlimited) that never cuts a result page in half, with automatic de-duplication so the same template never appears twice. ### Use Cases **Design Inspiration & Trend Research** - Surface the top-ranked templates for a niche (e.g. "wedding invitation", "podcast cover") and study their layouts - Track which color palettes dominate a category by pulling hex swatches across hundreds of templates - Identify which fonts are trending in a design space by aggregating font names **Competitive & Market Research** - Map how many free vs. Pro templates Canva offers in a category using the `isPro` flag - Compare template coverage across formats (Instagram posts, presentations, posters, resumes) - Benchmark a brand or agency's Canva presence by pulling their full creator portfolio **Template Sellers & Creators** - Pull a creator's entire `/p/` portfolio in one run to audit their catalog - Research naming and tagging patterns of top-performing templates in your category - Build a competitive board of color and font choices before launching a new template pack **Content & Marketing Teams** - Bulk-collect on-brand template options for a campaign by keyword and language - Localize a template search across 11 locales to plan multi-market content - Feed preview images and template URLs into a creative brief or asset library **Dataset Building for AI & ML** - Assemble a labeled design dataset with images, color palettes, fonts, and dimensions for model training - Build a color-palette corpus tagged by category and language - Create a structured catalog of design metadata for recommendation or generation models ### Getting Started #### Simple Keyword Search The simplest run — one keyword, basic listing fields: ```json { "search": ["instagram post"], "maxResults": 50 } ```` #### Multi-Keyword Search with Language and Details Search several terms at once, localized, with full color/font/dimension detail: ```json { "search": ["resume", "business card", "flyer"], "language": "de", "includeDetails": true, "maxResults": 300 } ``` #### Creator Portfolio + Category URLs Paste Canva URLs directly — a creator profile and a category page in one run, fully enriched: ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.canva.com/p/yourfavoritecreator/", "https://www.canva.com/posters/templates/" ], "includeDetails": true, "maxResults": 500 } ``` ### Input Reference #### What to Scrape | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `search` | string\[] | `["instagram post"]` | One or more keywords to search Canva templates. Each keyword is searched separately. Leave empty if you are pasting Start URLs. | | `startUrls` | string\[] | `[]` | Paste Canva URLs directly — search-results pages, category/list pages, creator-profile (`/p/`) pages, or a single template page. The type is detected automatically from each URL. | #### Options | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Maximum templates to return across all keywords and URLs combined. Set to `0` for unlimited. The scraper stops requesting new pages once the limit is reached but keeps the full final page, so the total may slightly overshoot — it never cuts a page in half. | | `includeDetails` | boolean | `true` | Fetch full detail for each template (dominant colors, fonts, exact dimensions, category, creator name and profile). Slower but much richer. When off, only basic listing fields are returned. | | `language` | select | `English` | Language and locale for template results. 11 options: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified). | ### Output Each row is one Canva template. With `includeDetails` on, color, font, dimension, category, and creator fields are added. Here's a representative detail-enriched result: ```json { "id": "EAFwK2pT9xY", "url": "https://www.canva.com/templates/EAFwK2pT9xY-blue-modern-business-instagram-post/", "title": "Blue Modern Business Instagram Post", "image": "https://marketplace.canva.com/EAFwK2pT9xY/1/0/1080w/preview.jpg", "category": "Instagram Post", "breadcrumbs": ["Instagram Post"], "creatorName": "Studio Aurora", "creatorUrl": "https://www.canva.com/p/studioaurora/", "colors": ["#264653", "#2A9D8F", "#E9C46A", "#F4A261"], "fonts": ["Poppins", "Playfair Display"], "dimensions": "1080 x 1350 px", "width": 1080, "height": 1350, "isPro": false, "searchTerm": "instagram post" } ``` #### Core Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `id` | string | Canva template ID | | `url` | string | Canonical template URL on canva.com | | `title` | string | Template title | | `image` | string | Preview / thumbnail image URL (widest available) | | `category` | string | Primary category / design type (e.g. "Instagram Post", "Presentation") | | `isPro` | boolean | `true` for a Canva Pro (premium) template, `false` for a free one | | `searchTerm` | string | The keyword or source URL this template came from | #### Detail Fields Populated when `includeDetails` is on (always populated for a single pasted template URL). | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `colors` | string\[] | Dominant color hex codes used in the template | | `fonts` | string\[] | Font family names used in the template | | `dimensions` | string | Template size in pixels (e.g. "1080 x 1350 px") | | `width` | integer | Width in pixels | | `height` | integer | Height in pixels | | `breadcrumbs` | string\[] | Category breadcrumb trail | | `creatorName` | string | Template creator / author name | | `creatorUrl` | string | Direct link to the creator's Canva profile | ### Tips for Best Results - **Start small to test** — set `maxResults` to 10–50 on your first run to confirm the data matches your needs, then scale up. - **Broad single words maximize volume; specific phrases narrow it** — "poster" returns far more templates than "minimalist autumn book club poster". Very specific multi-word phrases fall back to fuzzy matches, so use broad terms when you want the largest possible set. - **Paste a creator's `/p/` profile URL to pull their entire portfolio** — drop a `https://www.canva.com/p/handle/` link into `startUrls` and the scraper walks the creator's whole catalog, no keyword needed. - **Turn off `includeDetails` for speed and depth control** — leave it off for fast keyword sweeps when you only need titles, images, and URLs; turn it on when you need color palettes, fonts, and exact dimensions. - **Mix keywords and URLs in one run** — combine a few search terms with category pages and creator profiles in a single invocation; results are de-duplicated automatically. - **Set the language to localize titles** — pick one of the 11 locales to get template titles in that language for multi-market planning. - **Filter on `isPro` after the run** — pull a broad category, then split free vs. premium templates downstream using the `isPro` flag. ### Pricing **From $5 per 1,000 results** — flat, predictable pay-per-result pricing instead of unpredictable usage billing. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier. | Results | No discount | Bronze | Silver | Gold | |---------|-------------|--------|--------|------| | 100 | $0.60 | $0.57 | $0.53 | $0.50 | | 1,000 | $6.00 | $5.65 | $5.30 | $5.00 | | 10,000 | $60.00 | $56.50 | $53.00 | $50.00 | | 100,000 | $600.00 | $565.00 | $530.00 | $500.00 | A "result" is any template row in the output dataset. Apify platform fees are additional and depend on your plan. ### Integrations Export data in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS. Connect to 1,500+ apps via: - **Zapier** / **Make** / **n8n** — Workflow automation - **Google Sheets** — Direct spreadsheet export - **Slack** / **Email** — Notifications on new results - **Webhooks** — Trigger custom APIs on run completion - **Apify API** — Full programmatic access ### Legal & Ethical Use This actor is designed for legitimate design research, market analysis, and dataset building.
