from apify_client import ApifyClient

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

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });

console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/xyrelith-data~vimeo-channel-creator-and-video-metadata-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"byChannel","channelSlugs":["staffpicks"],"usernames":[],"videoUrls":[],"searchQueries":[],"categorySlugs":[],"tagSlugs":[],"showcaseUrls":[],"maxItems":20,"sort":"default","filterCategory":"any","filterDuration":"any","filterResolution":"any","filterPrice":"any","filterLicense":"any","filterUploaded":"any","filterStaffPicked":false,"filterHdr":"any","filterVimeo360":"any","filterLive":false,"includeCreatorProfile":false,"includeChannelProfile":false}'

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/vimeo-channel-creator-and-video-metadata-extractor",
      "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.

Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 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.
