Hongguo Series Details & Episodes Scraper API

Hongguo series details and episodes scraper API

Hongguo Series Details & Episodes Scraper API is a Hongguo short-drama series scraper that retrieves complete short-drama metadata and episode lists from Hongguo Duanju. Provide one or more seriesId values to extract titles, synopses, covers, play counts, episode counts, first video IDs, and normalized episode directories.

The Actor works as a Hongguo series details API alternative for catalog enrichment, episode discovery, metadata databases, and workflows that need reliable links between a series and its individual episode video IDs. Up to 1,000 unique series IDs can be submitted in one run.

Why use this Hongguo episode list scraper?

• Get complete metadata for up to 1,000 short-drama series at once.
• Extract a normalized episode list for each successful series.
• Receive episode video IDs, indexes, titles, covers, durations, and availability flags.
• Preserve the complete source response for fields beyond the normalized schema.
• Keep failures isolated to their corresponding series IDs.
• Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.
• Automate collection through the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, Make, or n8n.

Popular use cases include Hongguo series and episode details, Chinese short-drama catalogs, episode indexing, series metadata enrichment, content research, and preparing authorized video-processing workflows.

How to get a complete Hongguo short-drama episode list

1. Find a seriesId using the Hongguo Search Actor, Recommendation Feed Actor, or another authorized source.
2. Open this Actor's Input tab.
3. Add one or more values to seriesIds.
4. Click Start.
5. Open the Dataset and read series and episodes from successful rows.

How much do Hongguo series details cost?

FREE-tier users pay $3 per 1,000 successfully resolved series IDs ($0.003 per successful unique ID). Users on BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM, and DIAMOND tiers continue to pay $2 per 1,000 ($0.002 per ID). Apify FREE-plan accounts can persist up to 100 successfully resolved series IDs per UTC calendar month in this Actor; the quota resets at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. Paid-plan accounts are not subject to this product quota. Diagnostic rows with success: false are not charged and do not consume the quota, and duplicate input IDs do not generate additional result charges.

If a FREE-plan run requests more than the remaining monthly quota, the Actor writes one uncharged Dataset diagnostic row with errorCode: "FREE_TIER_MONTHLY_QUOTA_REACHED", including processed, requested, skipped, limit, and reset details. Paid-plan runs never receive this quota row.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get details and episode lists for multiple Hongguo series?

Yes. Submit up to 1,000 unique seriesIds in one run. Each successful row contains normalized series metadata and an episodes array for that title.

Where can I find a Hongguo seriesId?

Use the Hongguo Search or Recommendation Feed Actor. Both return seriesId values that can be sent directly to this Actor.

Does the Actor return every episode?

It returns the episode directory available for the requested series at run time. Availability can vary by title, and some valid series may currently contain no episodes.

Does this Actor return playable video URLs?

No. It returns series metadata and episode video IDs. To turn one or more seriesIds directly into decrypted MP4 files, use the Hongguo Full Series Downloader & Video Decryption API. The URL resolver Actors remain the lighter option when you only need media metadata.
