MyAnimeList Reviews & Ratings Scraper - Full Review Text, Scores & Reactions

Pull every user review for any anime or manga on MyAnimeList - full review text, the reviewer's own 0-10 rating, recommendation tag, post date, and reaction counts - in one fast run. Point it at a title URL and get structured, ready-to-analyze review data with no manual scrolling or copy-pasting. [$2.5/1000]

Features

• Scrapes complete, full-length review text (not just the truncated preview shown on page load)
• Captures the reviewer's numeric rating, recommendation tag (Recommended / Mixed Feelings / Not Recommended), watch/read progress, post date, and total reader reactions for every review
• Handles pagination automatically up to your configured cap per title
• Accepts multiple anime/manga URLs in one run - batch-scrape reviews across an entire franchise
• Pairs naturally with the MyAnimeList Search & Detail Scraper Actor: search for titles there, feed the result URLs straight into this Actor

Data table

Field	Description
title_id / title_type / title_name / title_url	The anime/manga the review belongs to

date_posted	When the review was posted

Cost estimation

Pricing is pay-per-result at $2.5 per 1,000 results (results = reviews), below comparable anime data scrapers on Apify Store ($3-$10 per 1,000). A run collecting 50 reviews each for 5 titles (250 reviews) costs well under $1.

Tips

• Lower maxReviewsPerTitle for a quick sample of the most recent/suggested reviews instead of a full pull.
• Feed this Actor with URLs collected from the MyAnimeList Search & Detail Scraper Actor to go from keyword search straight to review analysis.
• Enable Apify Proxy for larger multi-title runs to reduce the chance of temporary rate limiting from MyAnimeList.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

This Actor scrapes publicly available review pages from MyAnimeList.net. Use it in accordance with MyAnimeList's Terms of Service, and avoid excessive request volumes. Not every review has a visible numeric rating - MyAnimeList only shows one when the reviewer provided it, and this reflects the source site, not a scraping error. Found an issue or need a custom variant of this Actor? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab in Apify Console.
