## 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.

### DappRadar Rankings Scraper

**Scrape DappRadar dApp rankings, blockchain rankings, and token rankings, up to a million per run.** Every dapp comes with its rank, category, chain, and volume. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

DappRadar's official API needs an API key and rate-limits you. This reads the public rankings directly, filtered by category, chain, or keyword, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape DappRadar for |
|---|---|
| Market researchers | Which dApps are trending in a niche this week |
| Crypto investors | Find high-volume dApps before they go mainstream |
| dApp developers | Monitor competitor rankings and user activity |
| Content creators | Pull live rankings for articles and videos |

### What it does

This Actor collects DappRadar dApp rankings, blockchain rankings, and token rankings, and returns each one as a flat row.

- 📊 **Computed signals:** rank, category, chain, and volume for each dapp.
- 🔍 **Keyword search:** find dapps, chains, or tokens by name.
- 🌐 **Multi-chain support:** covers 150+ chains and 9 categories.
- ⚡ **Fast and scalable:** collect up to a million dapps per run.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with DappRadar data

**📈 Track dApp trends.**

A market researcher runs the Actor daily on the Games category to see which dApps are gaining volume and adjust their report.

**💰 Find investment opportunities.**

A crypto investor scrapes the DeFi rankings for dApps with high volume and low rank to spot undervalued projects.

**🛠️ Monitor competitors.**

A dApp developer scrapes rankings filtered by their chain to track competitor dApps and user activity.

**📰 Power content.**

A content creator pulls the latest rankings for a weekly newsletter on blockchain gaming.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Scrape public rankings without registration or rate limits |
| **Fixed schema** | Every dapp returns the same flat row for easy analysis |
| **Export anywhere** | CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML for your pipeline |
| **Scalable** | From 1 to 1,000,000 dapps per run |

### How it compares

This Actor focuses on rankings data, while the competitor also scrapes individual dapp profiles and offers keyword search across all data types.

| Feature | ParseForge | DappRadar Scraper |
|---|---|---|
| dApp rankings | Yes | Yes |
| Blockchain rankings | Yes | Yes |
| Token rankings | Yes | Yes |
| Individual dapp profiles | Not listed | Yes |
| Keyword search | Not listed | Yes |
| Multi-chain support (150+ chains) | Yes | Yes |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor from rankings, categories, chains, and keywords, alone or together, and filters run as each dapp is read so only matches reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.021 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $2.10 |
| 1,000 results | $21.00 |
| 10,000 results | $210.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [DappRadar Rankings Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/dappradar-rankings-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to DappRadar through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/dappradar-rankings-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Your filters may be too restrictive. Try removing category or chain filters, or increase the maximum number of dapps.

**Why is the run slow?**

Scraping a large number of dapps takes time. Reduce the maximum number of dapps or narrow your filters to speed up the run.

**Why are some fields empty?**

Some dapps may not have data for certain fields, such as volume. This is normal and reflects the public listing.

**Can I scrape a specific dapp's profile?**

This Actor focuses on rankings. For individual dapp profiles, consider using a dedicated DappRadar profile scraper.
