DramaBox Rankings Scraper - Popular & New Short Dramas

Discover popular and new DramaBox short dramas

DramaBox Rankings Scraper helps you discover popular titles and new releases on DramaBox. Choose Most Watched, Most Searched or New Dramas, then collect drama titles, summaries, covers, episode counts, tags and ranking positions.

Each drama is saved as its own row, ready to export to CSV, Excel or JSON. Use the results to explore short-drama genres, research popular story themes or keep your catalog up to date.

Why use DramaBox rankings?

Compare titles across DramaBox discovery lists, find new short dramas and build a spreadsheet of popular releases. Content researchers can review genres and story themes; catalog teams can collect consistent title information; analysts can save repeated snapshots to compare changes over time.

Apify provides scheduled runs, API access and exports for connecting the results to your existing workflow. The number of titles depends on the selected DramaBox ranking.

How to collect a DramaBox ranking

1. Select a ranking in the Input tab.
2. Start the Actor.
3. Review the returned dramas in the results table.
4. Export your data or schedule another run to collect a new snapshot.

Input

The only input field is rank_type, displayed as an English dropdown named Ranking:

Dropdown option	API input value	Meaning
Most Watched	most_watched	DramaBox's most-watched ranking
Most Searched	most_searched	DramaBox's most-searched ranking
New Dramas	new_dramas	DramaBox's new-drama ranking

Most Watched is the default. Choose one ranking per run. For API access, use the input value shown above:

{
  "rank_type": "most_watched"
}

Output

Each returned drama is saved as a separate row with its selected ranking and position. Available fields include the title, summary, cover image, episode count, tags and platform-reported counters.

{
  "rank_type": "most_watched",
  "rank_position": 1,
  "book_id": "42000004343",
  "book_name": "If I Never Loved You",
  "chapter_count": 50,
  "tags": ["Romance"],
  "success": true,
  "error": null
}

This example shows the output format and does not represent a current ranking position. Export results as JSON, CSV or Excel from Apify, or retrieve them through the API tab.

Data fields

Field	Meaning
rank_type / rank_position	Selected ranking and position in the returned list
book_id / book_name	Drama identifier and title
introduction / cover / chapter_count / tags	Drama metadata
play_count / in_library_count	Platform-reported listing counters, when provided
author / protagonist / performer_ids / rank	Additional normalized listing metadata
success / error	Whether a result was returned successfully

Some fields depend on what DramaBox provides for a title and may be empty. Ranking positions describe the selected list, rather than a comparison of every drama in the catalog.

Pricing: pay only for successful drama results

Apify account	Per successful drama	1,000 successful dramas
Free plan	$0.003	$3.00
Any paid plan	$0.002	$2.00

Platform usage is charged separately, in addition to these result fees. Your total cost is the successful-result fee plus the platform usage shown for your run.

Only unique dramas successfully saved in the selected ranking incur a result fee. Failed requests, empty rankings and duplicate dramas within the same run have no result fee. There is no additional Actor Start fee. Platform usage can still apply to a run that returns no successful dramas.

For example, 10 successful dramas cost $0.03 on the Free plan or $0.02 on a paid plan, plus platform usage. Running the Actor again produces a new set of results and new charges. Set a run spending limit to control result fees and review the run's usage before creating a recurring schedule.
