What can you do with PineDrama search data?

• Discover short dramas: Search for titles, themes, and phrases relevant to your research.
• Build a drama catalog: Collect titles, cover images, categories, and episode counts in one place.
• Compare search results: Review reported watch counts and categories across your keyword list.
• Plan editorial coverage: Gather short drama data for watchlists, recommendations, and entertainment research.
• Repeat your research: Save searches and schedule future runs in Apify to compare results over time.

Each result keeps the keyword that found it. Duplicate dramas within the same keyword search are removed, while a drama found under different keywords keeps its association with each search.

How to scrape PineDrama search results

1. Enter a keyword, such as novel or ceo, or add several keywords for a batch search.
2. Set the maximum number of pages to collect for each keyword.
3. Click Start and wait for the search to finish.
4. Open Output to browse titles, cover images, and the other extracted fields.
5. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or another available format.

Start with a small page limit to review the results before expanding your search. A keyword may return fewer pages if there are no further results available.

What data does the PineDrama scraper extract?

Every result is a separate drama row with the following fields:

Field	Description
keyword	Search term that returned the drama
title	Short drama title
cover_url	Cover image URL, displayed as an image in Output
collection_id	PineDrama drama ID
episode_count	Reported number of episodes
watched_count	Watch count reported by PineDrama
categories	Categories or genre labels returned with the drama
is_limited_free	Whether PineDrama marks the drama as limited free

Illustrative output record:

{
  "keyword": "novel",
  "title": "Example Drama",
  "cover_url": null,
  "collection_id": "1234567890123456789",
  "episode_count": 60,
  "watched_count": 12500,
  "categories": ["Romance"],
  "is_limited_free": true
}

The Search summary output shows the pages collected, result count, and success status for each keyword. If part of a search fails, the dramas already collected remain available and the summary explains which search was affected. An empty search produces no drama rows.

Export PineDrama data to CSV, Excel, or JSON

Download your results for spreadsheet analysis or use them in your existing workflow. CSV and Excel make it easy to sort titles, compare episode counts, and organize watch counts. JSON preserves category lists for applications and further analysis.

For automated access, use this Actor through the Apify API. The same keyword searches and extracted fields are available whether you start a run in the Console or from an integration.

Verified search example

In a live check on September 6, 2026, searches for novel and ceo each collected five pages and returned 98 unique dramas. This is an example of observed results, not a fixed result count: availability and the number of matches can change.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search several keywords at once?

Yes. Add your terms to keywords. The page limit applies separately to every keyword, and each result includes the term that returned it.

Are duplicate dramas removed?

Yes, within each keyword search. When a drama appears for two different keywords, it appears once under each term so you can compare their results.

Does this download PineDrama videos?

This Actor exports short drama information and cover image URLs. Use PineDrama to watch episodes.

How many results will I get?

The total depends on the keyword, available results, and page limit. Check the Search summary for the number collected in your run.

How much does a search cost?

Free-plan users pay $3 per 1,000 saved search results ($0.003 per result). Paid-plan users pay $2 per 1,000 ($0.002 per result). Apify platform usage fees are charged separately for both.

A run returning 40 results costs $0.12 in result fees on the Free plan or $0.08 on a paid plan, plus platform usage.

Only successfully saved drama rows incur a result fee. Empty searches, failed pages, retries, and the Search summary do not incur result fees, although platform usage still applies. Results already saved before a later page fails remain billable. Duplicate dramas within a keyword are removed before billing. A drama found under two different keywords is saved and billed once under each keyword.

Set a spending limit in Apify to cap result charges. Searches stop producing billable rows when that limit is reached. Platform usage fees are separate. There is no additional custom startup fee.

Where can I get help?

Use the Actor's Issues tab to report a problem. Include the search term and run link so the result can be checked.
