DramaBox Actor Profile Scraper - Cast & Filmography

What does the DramaBox Actor Profile Scraper do?

DramaBox Actor Profile Scraper collects actor profiles and short-drama credits from DramaBox. Enter a list of performer IDs to extract names, profile photos, biographies and associated dramas, then export the results to CSV, Excel or JSON.

Use it as a DramaBox cast data API for talent research, catalog enrichment and filmography tracking. Each actor has one result row, with their collected drama credits grouped together. Set a maximum number of works pages per actor to control how much data you collect.

Why collect DramaBox actor profiles and filmographies?

• Research short-drama actors and the titles they appear in.
• Add cast profiles, biographies and photos to a drama catalog.
• Discover more DramaBox titles featuring a performer.
• Schedule repeat runs to check for new drama credits.
• Connect actor data to spreadsheets and other tools through Apify integrations or API access.

The Actor supports batches of up to 1,000 performer IDs. Duplicate IDs within the same run are processed once. Available profile fields depend on the information DramaBox provides for each performer.

How to scrape DramaBox actor profiles

1. Open the Input tab and enter the performer IDs you want to collect.
2. Set Max Pages to the maximum number of works pages per actor.
3. Start the Actor and review the actor profiles in the results table.
4. Download your dataset or connect it to another tool. Schedule a run if you want regular updates.

For one actor, enter a list containing just one ID. The input form includes an example ID and a one-page limit to help you get started.

Input: batch performer IDs and maximum pages

See the Input tab for full configuration options.

Field	Meaning	Default
performer_ids	Required list of 1–1,000 performer IDs, each entered as a string of 1–20 digits	Example prefilled: ["12070"]
max_pages	Maximum works pages per actor, starting from the first page; accepts 1–1,000	1

Collection stops earlier when the works list ends or a page contains no new drama IDs. Increasing Max Pages can collect more credits but does not add another actor-result fee.

{
  "performer_ids": ["12070"],
  "max_pages": 3
}

What DramaBox cast data can I extract?

Field	Meaning
performer_id	DramaBox performer identifier
name / english_name	Performer names, when available
avatar	Profile image URL
introduction	Biography or profile description
video_count	Total count reported by DramaBox; may exceed the collected credits
books	Collected drama credits, including drama IDs, titles and available metadata
pages_fetched	Number of works pages successfully collected
success / error	Result status and an error message if collection failed

Drama credits from multiple pages are merged into one actor result. Repeated drama IDs within an actor's filmography are included once.

Output and exports

The example below illustrates the output format; its profile details are placeholders.

{
  "performer_id": "12070",
  "name": "Example performer",
  "english_name": null,
  "avatar": "https://example.com/profile.jpg",
  "introduction": "Example actor biography",
  "video_count": 4,
  "pages_fetched": 1,
  "books": [
    {"book_id": "42000004343", "book_name": "Example short drama"},
    {"book_id": "42000004344", "book_name": "Another short drama"}
  ],
  "success": true,
  "error": null
}

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. JSON preserves each actor's nested drama credits. The run summary shows saved results, failed results and whether the spending limit was reached.

How much does it cost to scrape DramaBox actors?

Apify account	Per successful actor profile	1,000 successful profiles
Free plan	$0.03	$30.00
Any paid plan	$0.02	$20.00

A successful actor profile includes all works pages collected for that actor within your chosen limit. Duplicate performer IDs within a run and failed results have no result fee. A successfully returned profile with no drama credits still counts as one actor result.

The default Actor Start fee is $0.00005 per start event, automatically charged by Apify. Runs using up to 1 GB of memory incur one start event; above 1 GB, one event is charged per GB, rounded up. The start fee applies even when no successful actor profiles are returned.

Apify platform usage is charged separately, in addition to actor-result and start fees. For example, 10 successful profiles with up to 1 GB of memory cost $0.30005 on the Free plan or $0.20005 on a paid plan, plus platform usage. Each new run incurs new charges. Set a run spending limit and review usage before scheduling large batches.

Frequently asked questions

Can I collect a complete DramaBox actor filmography?

Increase Max Pages to collect more works. The result contains the credits available from DramaBox up to your page limit. A low limit can produce a partial filmography, and fields can change as DramaBox updates its catalog.

What happens if one actor or a later works page fails?

The Actor saves an error result and continues with other performer IDs. If a later page fails, the error result includes credits collected from earlier pages and has no actor-result fee.

Can I run this as a DramaBox actor API?

Yes. Use the API tab to submit the same batch input and retrieve the saved dataset. Apify scheduling and integrations also support recurring cast-data workflows.

Does this Actor download drama videos?

It collects actor profiles and drama metadata. For episode information and video files, use the relevant DramaBox Actors in the developer's collection.
