The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## TeePublic Creator Store Scraper > **Note on Spring/Teespring:** Spring (formerly Teespring) shut down in 2023. > This actor targets **TeePublic** (teepublic.com), the active print-on-demand > marketplace for independent creators. The directory is named > `spring-creator-merch-scraper` for continuity. Scrapes complete creator storefronts from TeePublic — profile metadata and all designs (t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, mugs, phone cases, and more). No login required. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `creators` | string[] | — | TeePublic usernames or full store URLs | | `includeProducts` | bool | `true` | Include the full design list | | `maxPages` | int | `0` | Max pages per creator (`0` = unlimited) | | `maxConcurrency` | int | `3` | Parallel creator fetches | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify default | Proxy settings | **Example input:** ```json { "creators": ["nathanwpyle", "https://www.teepublic.com/user/adamtots"], "includeProducts": true, "maxPages": 0, "maxConcurrency": 3 } ```` ### Output One dataset record per creator: ```jsonc { "url": "https://www.teepublic.com/user/nathanwpyle", "username": "nathanwpyle", "creator_name": "Nathan W. Pyle", "followers": 0, "following": 1, "total_designs_stat": 13, "design_count": 13, "pages_fetched": 1, "products": [ { "design_id": "90657393", "slug": "mmama-floral-shirt-cute-mom-gift-sweatshirt-vintag", "title": "MMama Floral Shirt, Cute Mom Gift Sweatshirt...", "product_type": "t-shirt", "store_id": "4394049", "image_url": "https://images.teepublic.com/derived/production/designs/...", "url": "https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/90657393-mmama-floral-shirt-...", "sale_price": 16.0, "regular_price": 24.0, "tags": null } ] } ``` ### How it works TeePublic renders store pages server-side. The actor: 1. Fetches `/user/?page=N` with a browser-like User-Agent 2. Parses HTML with **selectolax** (fast CSS selector engine) 3. Extracts product links matching `/PRODUCT_TYPE/DESIGN_ID-SLUG` 4. Paginates until no further pages are detected 5. Merges all pages into one creator record Designs are deduplicated across pages by `design_id`. # Actor input Schema ## `creators` (type: `array`): List of TeePublic usernames or full store URLs (e.g. "nathanwpyle" or "https://www.teepublic.com/user/nathanwpyle"). Each yields one result with the creator profile and all their designs. ## `includeProducts` (type: `boolean`): Include the full product/design list for each creator. Disable to return profile metadata only. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of store pages to fetch per creator (each page has up to 48 designs). Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many creator stores to scrape in parallel. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used for outbound requests. TeePublic serves HTML pages; using Apify Proxy residential pool improves reliability. ## Actor input object example ```json { "creators": [ "nathanwpyle" ], "includeProducts": true, "maxPages": 0, "maxConcurrency": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [] } } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "creators": [ "nathanwpyle" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("vsekar91/teepublic-creator-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
