## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Civitai Model Scraper — AI Image Model Intelligence 🎨

**Search Civitai — the largest hub for AI image-generation models — and get clean records for checkpoints, LoRAs, embeddings and more: creator, downloads, ratings, tags, base model and latest version (with download URL). No API key.**

Civitai hosts the Stable Diffusion / AI-art model ecosystem. This Actor turns its public API into structured data for **model discovery, trend tracking, market research and datasets**.

---

### What you get per model

`id` · `name` · `type` · `nsfw` · `description` · `creator` · `tags` · `base_models` · `allow_commercial_use` · `download_count` · `thumbs_up_count` · `thumbs_down_count` · `comment_count` · `tipped_amount` · `version_id` · `version_name` · `version_base_model` · `published_at` · `trained_words` · `download_url` · `file_name` · `file_size_kb` · `preview_image` · `image_count` · `model_url`.

### Examples

**Top downloaded models for a term**
```json
{ "mode": "search", "query": "realistic", "sort": "Most Downloaded", "maxResults": 100 }
````

**Newest SDXL LoRAs**

```json
{ "mode": "search", "types": ["LORA"], "baseModel": "SDXL 1.0", "sort": "Newest" }
```

**Look up specific models**

```json
{ "mode": "models", "modelIds": ["4201"] }
```

### Use cases

- **Model discovery & trend tracking** — what's downloaded, rated and trending by type and base model.
- **AI-art market research** — creator and ecosystem analytics.
- **Datasets** — a clean, structured slice of the Civitai catalog.

### Notes

- **No API key.** Uses the public Civitai v1 API.
- **NSFW is excluded by default** — set `includeNsfw: true` to include flagged models.
- **Types** include Checkpoint, LORA, LoCon, TextualInversion, Hypernetwork, Controlnet, Poses, VAE.
- Model files and metadata belong to their creators and are subject to each model's license — check `allow_commercial_use` and use responsibly.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Ordering of results.

## `period` (type: `string`):

Stats window for sorting.

## `baseModel` (type: `string`):

Filter by base model, e.g. "SDXL 1.0", "SD 1.5", "Flux.1 D", "Pony".

## `includeNsfw` (type: `boolean`):

Include models flagged NSFW. Off by default (SFW only).

## `modelIds` (type: `array`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("straightforward_hydra/civitai-model-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
