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 ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Podchaser Podcast, Episode & Creator Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Collect structured podcast data in seconds.** Search Podchaser for podcasts, episodes, and creators by keyword.

No. You can start right now on the free Apify plan, which includes **$5 in free monthly credit**. That is enough to run this actor several times and explore the output before committing to anything. Paid plans unlock higher limits, more concurrent runs, and larger datasets. [Create a free Apify account here](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to get started. #### ๐Ÿšจ What happens if my run fails or returns no results? Failed runs are not charged. If the source site changes, proxies get rate-limited, or a specific input matches nothing, re-run the actor or open our [contact form](https://tally.so/r/BzdKgA) and we will investigate. You can also check the run log in the Apify console to see why the run stopped. #### ๐Ÿ“ How many items can I scrape per run? Free users are limited to **10 items per run** so you can preview the output and confirm the actor works for your use case. Paid users can raise `maxItems` up to **1,000,000** per run. [Upgrade here](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) if you need full scale. #### ๐Ÿ•’ How fresh is the data? Every run fetches live data at the moment of execution. There is no cache or delay: the records you get reflect what the source returned at that moment. Schedule the actor to maintain a rolling snapshot of the data you need. #### ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Can I call this actor from my own code? Yes. Apify exposes every actor as a REST endpoint and ships first-class SDKs for [Node.js](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/python). You can start a run, read the dataset, and handle webhooks from your own app in a few lines. All you need is your Apify API token. #### ๐Ÿ“ค How do I export the data? Every Apify dataset can be downloaded in one click from the console as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS. You can also pull results programmatically via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or stream them into BigQuery, S3, and other destinations through built-in integrations. #### ๐Ÿ“… Can I schedule the actor to run automatically? Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run the actor on any cadence, from hourly to monthly. Results are saved to your dataset and can be delivered to webhooks, email, Slack, cloud storage, or automation tools such as Zapier and Make. *** ### ๐Ÿ”Œ Automating Podchaser Scraper - ๐ŸŸข **Node.js.** Install the `apify-client` NPM package. - ๐Ÿ **Python.** Use the `apify-client` PyPI package. - ๐Ÿ“š See the [Apify API documentation](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) for full details. ### ๐Ÿ”Œ Integrate with any app - [**Make**](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make) - Automate podcast monitoring workflows - [**Zapier**](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier) - Connect 5,000+ apps - [**Slack**](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack) - Get notifications in your channel - [**Airbyte**](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte) - Data pipelines - [**GitHub**](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github) - Trigger from commits - [**Google Drive**](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) - Export to Sheets *** ### ๐Ÿ”— Recommended Actors - [**๐Ÿ“ฐ PR Newswire Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/pr-newswire-scraper) - Press releases and news - [**๐Ÿค— Hugging Face Model Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/hugging-face-model-scraper) - AI model data - [**๐Ÿ” Smart Apify Actor Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/smart-apify-actor-scraper) - Apify actor metadata - [**๐Ÿ›’ Chrome Web Store Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/chrome-web-store-scraper) - Browser extension data - [**โ˜๏ธ AWS Marketplace Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/aws-marketplace-scraper) - Cloud product listings > ๐Ÿ’ก Browse the complete [ParseForge collection](https://apify.com/parseforge). *** **๐Ÿ†˜ Need Help?** [**Open our contact form**](https://tally.so/r/BzdKgA) to request a new scraper or report an issue. *** > **โš ๏ธ Disclaimer:** Independent tool, not affiliated with Podchaser.
