## 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

## ClawHub Skill Scraper

Scrape AI agent skill data from the [ClawHub marketplace](https://clawhub.ai). Extract skill definitions (SKILL.md), metadata, download stats, install counts, star ratings, changelogs, and author information for 8,000+ skills in the [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.org) ecosystem.

***

### ClawHub Skill Scraper Features

- Extracts full SKILL.md content from each skill's ClawHub package bundle
- Collects marketplace stats: downloads, installs, stars, comments, version count
- Two modes: metadata-only (fast) or full content with SKILL.md files
- Handles 8,000+ skills with automatic pagination and rate limiting
- Merges data from the ClawHub listing API and the ClawHub package download
- Outputs structured JSON with 20+ fields per skill record

***

### Who Uses ClawHub Skill Data?

- **AI tool directories** — Index and categorize AI agent skills for discovery platforms
- **Developer analytics** — Track skill adoption trends, download velocity, and popularity across the OpenClaw ecosystem
- **Competitive research** — Monitor new skill releases, author activity, and marketplace growth
- **Dataset builders** — Collect SKILL.md definitions to train or evaluate AI agents on real-world skill specifications
- **Market research** — Analyze the AI agent skill marketplace for investment or product positioning

***

### How the ClawHub Scraper Works

1. **List skills** — Paginates through the ClawHub listing API to collect skill metadata and marketplace stats
2. **Resolve authors** — Owner handles are already present on each listing record
3. **Download SKILL.md** — Pulls the skill's ZIP bundle from ClawHub's own package download endpoint and extracts the full skill definition and package metadata from it

Steps 2 and 3 only run when `downloadContent` is enabled. With it disabled, the scraper returns metadata only and runs significantly faster.

***

### Input

```json
{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "downloadContent": true
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| maxItems | integer | 50 | Maximum number of skills to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited. |
| downloadContent | boolean | true | Fetch SKILL.md content from ClawHub's package ZIP bundle. When disabled, only ClawHub API metadata is collected (faster). |

### FAQ

#### How do I scrape all skills from ClawHub?

Set `maxItems` to `0` and `downloadContent` to `true`. The ClawHub Skill Scraper will paginate through the full marketplace and download SKILL.md content for every skill.

#### How much does the ClawHub Skill Scraper cost to run?

A full run with content download for all 8,000+ skills uses approximately 256 MB of memory and takes under an hour. Metadata-only mode is significantly faster and cheaper.

#### What is a SKILL.md file?

SKILL.md is the standard definition file for AI agent skills in the OpenClaw ecosystem. It describes what the skill does, its inputs, outputs, and configuration. The ClawHub Skill Scraper extracts these files directly from each skill's ClawHub package bundle.

#### Can I scrape ClawHub without downloading SKILL.md content?

Yes. Set `downloadContent` to `false` to collect only marketplace metadata (names, stats, tags) without fetching the package bundle. This mode is much faster and skips the download phase entirely.
