Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#rental-actors ## 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. 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 ## 💎 Patreon Premium Creator & Posts Scraper Patreon Scraper Scraper Cover Image

We will look into it as soon as possible. You can also contact us directly for help on integrations, customized projects or new use cases at business@radeance.com. # Actor input Schema ## `creator` (type: `string`): The username of the creator as it appears in the URL of their Patreon page. For example, for https://www.patreon.com/TheBasementYard, the creator is 'TheBasementYard' or the full URL. ## `include_posts` (type: `boolean`): Whether to include posts data of the creator(s) if available. ## `include_graphtreon` (type: `boolean`): Whether to include data from Graphtreon.com, if available for the creator. This includes historical earnings, patron members over time, and other stats that Graphtreon provides. Note that this data is only available for creators who have a public profile on Graphtreon and may not be available for all creators. ## `max_posts` (type: `integer`): The maximum number of posts to scrape per creator. Set to 0 for no limit. ## `creator_urls` (type: `array`): List of creator handles or / and creator page URLs to scrape from. If left empty, the scraper will use the creator parameter to search for the page. ## `stream_output` (type: `boolean`): If checked, the actor will stream the data while processing the query.. This is useful for real-time monitoring of the scraping process. If unchecked, the actor will only save the output to the dataset at the end of the scraping process. ## Actor input object example ```json { "creator": "TheBasementYard", "include_posts": true, "include_graphtreon": true, "max_posts": 20, "stream_output": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "creator": "TheBasementYard", "include_posts": true, "include_graphtreon": true }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("radeance/patreon-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "creator": "TheBasementYard", "include_posts": true, "include_graphtreon": true }' | apify call radeance/patreon-scraper --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,radeance/patreon-scraper" } } } ``` The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/B6cyzsNeJoBlbCbSz/builds/MXT7Te1sw92ZV5Sio/openapi.json
