2. Add one or more titles, genres, tropes, or character names to queries.
3. Choose the languageIds you want searched. 2 is English, 1 is Hindi, 3 is Telugu, 8 is Tamil, 5 is Bengali, and 13 is Kannada.

How much does Kuku TV search cost?

FREE-tier users pay $4 per 1,000 successful show results ($0.004 per result). Users on BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM, and DIAMOND tiers pay $3 per 1,000 ($0.003 per result). Only real show cards that are successfully written as individual Dataset items are charged. Repeated shows that appear on more than one page are collapsed to one row per keyword and are never charged twice, and diagnostic rows with success: false are not charged.

There is no monthly result cap. Paid Apify platform usage for the run — compute and proxy bandwidth — is billed separately by Apify.

Input

See the Input tab for all options. queries accepts up to 1,000 entries of 1 to 100 characters. Duplicate keywords are ignored while their first-seen order is preserved. maxPages accepts 1 to 20 and defaults to 1.

{
  "queries": ["billionaire", "revenge", "werewolf"],
  "languageIds": [2],
  "hasPremium": false,
  "maxPages": 1
}

You can download the Dataset in formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

  "query": "revenge",
  "position": 1,
  "page": 1,
  "success": true,
  "showId": 277205,
  "slug": "the-billionaire-who-married-for-revenge",
  "title": "The Billionaire Who Married For Revenge",

  "data": {"id": 277205, "slug": "the-billionaire-who-married-for-revenge", "title": "The Billionaire Who Married For Revenge"},
  "error": null
}

Each keyword produces one row per matching show across the pages that were requested. A keyword that returns no matches produces no rows, and a keyword whose request fails produces a single uncharged row with success: false and an error message.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search multiple Kuku TV titles and keywords in one run?

Yes. Submit up to 1,000 unique queries. Duplicate keywords are ignored while the first-seen order is preserved, and duplicate keywords are not charged twice.

Do I need a Kuku TV or Kuku FM account?

No. Every endpoint used by this Actor is public, so no login, token, or app installation is required.

Can I search in Hindi, Telugu, or Tamil?

Yes. Set languageIds to one or more Kuku TV language IDs. 2 is English, 1 is Hindi, 3 is Telugu, 8 is Tamil, 5 is Bengali, and 13 is Kannada.

How many results does one keyword return?

Kuku TV paginates keyword results. maxPages defaults to 1, which returns the first page only. Raise it up to 20 to keep requesting pages until a page comes back empty; a keyword that runs out of results stops early.

Why do two pages contain the same show?

Kuku TV result pages overlap. The Actor collapses repeats on showId, keeps the lowest page number a show was first seen on, and writes and charges it once per keyword. In a measured run, three pages of q=the returned 165 raw rows but only 97 unique shows, so expect roughly a third of later pages to be repeats.

What does the page column mean?

It is the result page the show was first seen on. position is the show's rank in the keyword's deduplicated result set, so it is always continuous from 1.

Is this a Kuku TV API alternative?

Yes. The Actor turns Kuku TV search results into structured Dataset items that can be accessed through the Apify API without manually browsing each keyword.
