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 ## Spotify New Music Friday by Country Export current Spotify New Music Friday tracks by market, with playlist position, track name, artist, album, release date, and Spotify URL. Use this Actor when you need a weekly, structured view of new releases across country, regional, and genre-specific New Music Friday playlists. Instead of opening each playlist manually, you can select the markets you care about and send the results directly to an Apify dataset, dashboard, spreadsheet, or music research workflow. ### What This Actor Helps You Decide - Which artists and tracks are appearing in key New Music Friday markets. - Whether a release is present in one market, several markets, or a regional editorial playlist. - How releases are positioned inside each selected playlist. - Which markets are useful to monitor for A&R, label marketing, playlist research, journalism, or weekly release discovery. ### What You Get Each result row represents one track from one selected New Music Friday market. The Actor returns: - `market`: selected New Music Friday market. - `position`: track position in that market's public playlist snapshot. - `track`: track name. - `artist`: artist names shown by Spotify. - `album`: album, EP, or single title. - `releaseDate`: public release date found in Spotify album metadata when available. - `spotifyUrl`: direct Spotify track URL. The output intentionally stays focused on track-level release intelligence. It does not add playlist names, discovery tags, or "new artist" labels. ### Use Cases #### Artists And Managers Track whether a new release appears in relevant editorial markets such as USA, Brazil, Portugal, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, India, or regional playlists. Use the output to build weekly reporting around editorial visibility. #### Labels And Marketing Teams Compare new release placement across selected markets and feed the data into campaign dashboards. This is useful for launch-week monitoring, territory-level reporting, and checking which releases are surfacing in priority markets. #### A&R And Music Research Monitor fresh tracks by market to spot artists, collaborations, and genres showing up in New Music Friday lists. The structured dataset is easier to search, filter, and archive than a set of playlist pages. #### Journalists And Playlist Researchers Create a repeatable snapshot of current New Music Friday programming for market comparisons, release roundups, and weekly coverage. ### Supported Markets The market dropdown is based on the public Super Friday Chart playlist list. It includes country markets such as USA, Brazil, Portugal, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, India, Canada, and many more, plus regional or vertical playlists such as Latin America, K-Pop, Dance, Country, Gulf, Maghreb, Punjabi, World, and Christian. There is no bulk "all markets" option. Select the exact markets you want to export. This keeps runs intentional and avoids noisy datasets. Japan is mapped to New Music Friday only. ### How To Use 1. Open the Actor on Apify. 2. Choose one or more markets from the `markets` dropdown. 3. Run the Actor. 4. Open the dataset to view, download, or connect the results. Recommended starter input: ```json { "markets": ["USA", "Brazil", "Portugal"] } ```` To include Japan: ```json { "markets": ["USA", "Brazil", "Portugal", "Japan"] } ``` ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `markets` | array of strings | Yes | New Music Friday markets to export. Choose one or more supported markets from the dropdown. | ### Output Example Example item from a real validation run: ```json { "market": "USA", "position": 1, "track": "Danceteria", "artist": "Madonna", "album": "CONFESSIONS II", "releaseDate": "2026-07-03", "spotifyUrl": "https://open.spotify.com/track/3a49TEtsbeAgzZAQH9WiDZ" } ``` ### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `market` | string | Selected New Music Friday market. | | `position` | number | Position in the playlist snapshot returned by the public Spotify page. | | `track` | string | Track title. | | `artist` | string | Artist names shown by Spotify. | | `album` | string | Album, EP, or single title. | | `releaseDate` | string or null | Public release date from Spotify album metadata when available. | | `spotifyUrl` | string | Direct Spotify track URL. | ### API Usage Run the Actor synchronously and return dataset items: ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trovevault~spotify-new-music-friday-by-country/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \ -d '{"markets":["USA","Brazil","Portugal"]}' ``` Run a smaller smoke test: ```bash curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trovevault~spotify-new-music-friday-by-country/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \ -d '{"markets":["USA"]}' ``` ### Working With Results The default dataset can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS from Apify. Common downstream workflows include: - weekly label reports, - A\&R discovery spreadsheets, - artist campaign dashboards, - editorial playlist monitoring, - market-by-market release comparison. You can also use the dataset from Apify integrations, API clients, or MCP-compatible workflows that read Apify datasets. ### Limitations - The Actor reads public Spotify playlist and album pages. - Some public playlist pages expose a limited embedded track set. The Actor exports the tracks available in the public page payload. - Release dates depend on public album metadata. If Spotify does not expose a release date for a track's album page, `releaseDate` may be `null`. - The Actor exports the current public playlist snapshot. It does not provide historical playlist archives by itself. - Market availability follows the supported playlist list and may change over time. - The Actor does not require or use a Spotify login. ### Troubleshooting #### The run returns fewer tracks than expected Some public playlist pages expose fewer embedded tracks than the full playlist UI. The Actor returns the rows available in the public page payload. #### A market is missing from the dropdown Only verified supported markets are included. If a playlist changes, the mapping may need to be updated before that market can be offered reliably. #### `releaseDate` is null The Actor enriches release dates from public album metadata. If that metadata is unavailable, the field remains `null` instead of guessing. #### I need all markets at once This Actor intentionally does not include an all-markets option. Run selected market groups separately to keep datasets smaller and easier to inspect. ### FAQ #### Does this require a Spotify account? No. The Actor uses public Spotify playlist and album pages. #### Does it output playlist names? No. The output is intentionally track-focused: market, position, track, artist, album, release date, and Spotify URL. #### Can I use it for historical New Music Friday tracking? The Actor exports the current public playlist snapshot. For history, schedule the Actor weekly and store each run's dataset. #### Can this feed a dashboard? Yes. Export the dataset or read it through the Apify API. The stable field names make it straightforward to load into BI tools, spreadsheets, or internal reporting. ### Related Actor Use `Spotify Top 200 Charts` when you need current Spotify chart positions, daily streams, seven-day streams, and total streams by market. ### Changelog - `0.1`: Initial private release with supported New Music Friday markets, Japan Friday mapping, and release date enrichment. # Actor input Schema ## `markets` (type: `array`): Markets to export.
