## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

🔎 **What is the Maker World Scraper?**

The Maker World Scraper Actor is a web scraping tool designed to collect 3D model listings from Maker World, a popular platform for sharing and discovering 3D printable designs. Using advanced web scraping techniques, the actor extracts detailed model information including design metadata, creator profiles, and download statistics.

🧾 **What Data Can the Maker World Scraper Extract?**

The actor extracts the following comprehensive data from Maker World model pages:

- **Model Information:** Title, ID, Model ID, Creation Date, License Type
- **Design Creator:** Name, Avatar, Fan Count, Follow Count, Level, Certification Status
- **Model Statistics:** Download Count, Comment Count, Like/Dislike Status
- **Categories & Tags:** Primary categories and detailed tag lists
- **Model Properties:** Printability, Exclusivity, AI-Generated Content Status
- **Media:** Primary image URL and design details
- **URLs:** Direct links to model pages

💼 **What Use Cases Does the Maker World Scraper Actor Support?**

The Maker World Scraper Actor is perfect for:

- **3D Printing Communities:** Track trending designs and popular creators across the platform
- **Design Analysis:** Analyze design patterns, categories, and user preferences in the 3D printing space
- **Creator Intelligence:** Monitor top designers, their follower growth, and content performance
- **Market Research:** Understand trending topics, popular categories, and design preferences
- **Content Aggregation:** Build comprehensive databases of 3D printable models for research or commercial use
- **Competitive Analysis:** Track competitor designs and understand market positioning

📖 **How to Use the Maker World Scraper Actor**

1. **Create a Free Apify Account:** Sign up on the Apify platform
2. **Open the Maker World Scraper Actor:** Navigate to your actor's page
3. **Input Your Query:** Provide Maker World URLs (category pages, search pages, designer profile pages, or detail pages).
4. **Start the Run:** Click "Start" to launch the scraping process
5. **Download Your Results:** Access the data in JSON, CSV, or via the Apify API

📥 **Input**

You can run the actor by providing Maker World category, search, individual model, or designer profile URLs. Designer profile URLs are supported in the `https://makerworld.com/en/@handle` format, for example `https://makerworld.com/en/@deltaprints_de`. Set `maxItems` high enough when scraping large profiles because the limit is applied per start URL.

Example parameters:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://makerworld.com/en/3d-models/901-3d-printer-accessories" // category page
    },
    {
      "url": "https://makerworld.com/en/search/models?keyword=halloween" // search page
    },
    {
      "url": "https://makerworld.com/en/models/652863-the-forbidden-fruit#profileId-579671" // detail page
    },
    {
      "url": "https://makerworld.com/en/@deltaprints_de" // designer profile page
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5
}
```

📤 **Output**

The results are stored in the default dataset associated with the actor. Each model listing includes:

```json

### How Many Results Can I Scrape?

The actor is designed to scrape individual model pages efficiently. For bulk scraping, you can provide multiple URLs, search/category pages, or designer profile URLs. Set `maxItems` high enough for large designer profiles.

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lexis-solutions/maker-world-com"
        }
    }
}
```

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 <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
