## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Deezer Scraper — Tracks, Artists, Albums, Playlists & Charts

Search Deezer and pull clean, structured JSON for tracks, artists, albums and playlists — plus the global top charts. It runs over the open Deezer API, so it's fast, lightweight, and needs **no account, no API key, no login**. Reliable HTTP scraping makes it a solid fit for building music catalogs, powering analytics dashboards, or feeding research pipelines.

### Features

- 🎵 **Four entity types** — search for `track`, `artist`, `album` or `playlist` with a single `searchType` switch.
- 🔍 **Multi-keyword search** — pass any number of terms in `searches`; each is scraped independently.
- 📈 **Top charts** — flip on `includeChart` and pick a `chartType` (tracks, artists, albums or playlists) to grab what's trending right now.
- 🏷️ **Rich track data** — every track record includes `rank`, `isrc`, `durationSec`, `explicit` and a 30-second `preview` URL.
- 🎚️ **Volume control** — `maxItemsPerSearch` (1–500) caps results per term and per chart, with automatic pagination under the hood.
- ⚡ **No key, no proxy needed** — the public Deezer API works out of the box; proxy stays optional for large runs.
- 🧱 **Flat, normalized JSON** — consistent field names across every record, ready for a database or spreadsheet.

### What you get

One flat JSON record per item. Example track:

```json
{
  "type": "track",
  "id": 3135556,
  "title": "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger",
  "artist": "Daft Punk",
  "artistId": 27,
  "album": "Discovery",
  "albumId": 302127,
  "durationSec": 224,
  "rank": 845200,
  "explicit": false,
  "isrc": "GBDUW0000059",
  "preview": "https://cdns-preview-d.dzcdn.net/stream/....mp3",
  "url": "https://www.deezer.com/track/3135556"
}
```

### Input

```json
{
  "searches": ["daft punk", "gorillaz"],
  "searchType": "track",
  "includeChart": true,
  "chartType": "tracks",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 40
}
```

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `searches` | Keywords to search on Deezer, one per line. |
| `searchType` | What to return: `track`, `artist`, `album` or `playlist`. |
| `includeChart` | Also fetch the Deezer top chart. |
| `chartType` | Which chart to pull: `tracks`, `artists`, `albums` or `playlists`. |
| `maxItemsPerSearch` | Max items per search term / chart (1–500). |

### Use cases

- Build and enrich a music catalog with ISRCs, durations and album links.
- Track chart movement over time by scheduling recurring chart runs.
- Research an artist's discography, fan count and track popularity (`rank`).
- Source 30-second preview URLs and cover art for playlists or apps.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: you're billed a small amount per run and per item scraped — you only pay for what you get. See the **Pricing** tab for current rates.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Deezer account or API key?**
No. The Actor runs over [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com)'s open public API, so it works out of the box with no account, no login and no API key.

**How many items can I get per run?**
Set `maxItemsPerSearch` up to 500 per search term and per chart, with pagination handled automatically. Pass multiple keywords in `searches` to scale further.

**Can I download songs or audio?**
No. The Actor returns public metadata only. The `preview` field is Deezer's own publicly listed 30-second clip URL — no full tracks or DRM-protected files are downloaded.

**What's the output format?**
Flat, normalized JSON with one record per item and consistent field names, ready for a database or spreadsheet. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

**Can I pull the top charts?**
Yes. Turn on `includeChart` and choose a `chartType` (`tracks`, `artists`, `albums` or `playlists`) to grab what's trending right now.
