{
  "mode": "browse",
  "searchQuery": "logo",
  "categories": [],
  "designerLevels": [],
  "languages": [],
  "industries": [],
  "certifications": [],
  "profileUrls": [],
  "maxItems": 1,

}

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "browse",
    "searchQuery": "logo",
    "categories": [],
    "designerLevels": [],
    "languages": [],
    "industries": [],
    "certifications": [],
    "profileUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 1,
    "includeProfileDetails": True,
    "maxDesignsPerProfile": 12
}

run = client.actor("xyrelith-data/99designs-designer-portfolio-and-stats-finder").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "browse",
    "searchQuery": "logo",
    "categories": [],
    "designerLevels": [],
    "languages": [],
    "industries": [],
    "certifications": [],
    "profileUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 1,
    "includeProfileDetails": true,
    "maxDesignsPerProfile": 12
};

const run = await client.actor("xyrelith-data/99designs-designer-portfolio-and-stats-finder").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/xyrelith-data~99designs-designer-portfolio-and-stats-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"browse","searchQuery":"logo","categories":[],"designerLevels":[],"languages":[],"industries":[],"certifications":[],"profileUrls":[],"maxItems":1,"includeProfileDetails":true,"maxDesignsPerProfile":12}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=xyrelith-data/99designs-designer-portfolio-and-stats-finder",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Cost of 99designs Designer Portfolio & Stats Finder results by Apify plan
Apify plan	Per 1,000	10,000 results	100,000 results
Free plan	$0.99	$9.90	$99
Starter plan	$0.82	$8.20	$82
Scale plan	$0.66	$6.60	$66
Business plan	$0.49	$4.90	$49

Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
