I need an expert to help me make an Actor for APify to web scrape RunwayML. Using Seedance 2.0 within RunwayML The primary aim is to automate various steps from collecting data from a video script, scene by scene, sourcing reference images like @wardrobe, @locations @prop @character from a dropbox link, then using prompts from scripts, generating the video using the pre-selected settings (720p/1080p), 9:16/16:9, duration 5s,10s,15, choosing between Explore/Credit mode, and download resulting video then repeat on next scene until script is done. I attempted to build this on Cursor but after several hours of errors I decided to hirer a coder. Key Requirements: - Proficiency in Apify - Experience in web content scraping for AI video generation - Ability to handle large datasets - Familiarity with different website structures and anti-scraping measures of RunwayML - Strong problem-solving skills Please provide examples of similar work done.

Hi there, I’ve carefully reviewed your project and understand you need an Apify-based scraping solution to collect structured web content from targeted websites for AI video generation workflows, including handling complex site structures and anti-scraping protections. I’m confident I can build a stable, scalable scraping setup tailored to your use case. My approach is to design Apify Actors that can reliably extract the required data using a mix of Puppeteer/Playwright (for dynamic or JS-heavy sites) and Cheerio (for static pages). I’ll structure the pipeline to handle pagination, rate limits, retries, and anti-bot measures, while keeping the output clean and ready for downstream AI processing. For more protected sources, I’ll implement stealth techniques and adaptive scraping logic within ethical and platform-compliant boundaries. I’ll also normalize and structure the extracted data so it integrates smoothly into your AI video generation workflow, ensuring consistency across large datasets and multiple source formats. Deliverables include a fully functional Apify Actor setup, structured dataset output (JSON/CSV as needed), documentation for running and scaling the scraper, and guidance on maintaining it as target sites evolve. Do you already have the target URLs defined, or should part of the setup include discovery and filtering of relevant sources? I’m ready to start immediately. Warm regards, Aneesa.

Interesting project, I will build your Apify Actor to automate the full RunwayML Seedance 2.0 pipeline — parsing scene scripts, pulling reference images from Dropbox, submitting generation jobs with your preset parameters, and downloading each output video before looping to the next scene. One key detail: RunwayML uses authenticated API calls behind their UI, so I will reverse-engineer those endpoints and handle session tokens with proper retry logic to avoid rate limits mid-batch. Questions: 1) What format is your scene script in — CSV, JSON, or a Google Doc? 2) Do you have a RunwayML API key, or will this need to operate through browser-level automation? Looking forward to talking through the details. Kamran

✨✨✨ ✨✨✨ ✨✨✨ ✨✨✨✨✨✨ ✨✨✨ ✨✨✨ ✨✨✨✨✨ Hi, Dear. Portfolio : https://www.freelancer.com/u/seandinwiddie I can build a robust Apify Actor that automates structured data extraction and workflow orchestration for RunwayML-style generation pipelines, including script parsing, asset mapping (Dropbox references), and sequential scene execution. I’ve worked with Apify, Playwright, and complex browser automation flows involving dynamic UI systems and token-based workflows. I will start by designing the Apify Actor structure with Playwright to reliably handle RunwayML’s dynamic interface and session flows, including login persistence and request interception. Next, I will implement the script parser that breaks your video script into scenes and maps @wardrobe / @location / @prop / @character references to Dropbox assets automatically. Finally, I will build the automation loop that configures generation settings (resolution, aspect ratio, duration, mode), triggers generation per scene, downloads outputs, and logs results in a structured dataset for full traceability. The system will be modular so you can easily update prompts, scene logic, or asset sources without rewriting the core automation. Looking forward to collaborating. Best Regards. Sean D.

Hi there, Automating RunwayML's Seedance 2.0 involves navigating a complex, dynamic React-based frontend and robust anti-scraping measures. I can build a custom Apify Actor that handles the end-to-end workflow—from parsing your Dropbox reference images to sequential scene generation. Since you've already hit roadblocks with Cursor, I will focus on a Puppeteer or Playwright-based solution designed to mimic human behavior and bypass detection. My Solution Architecture: Data Integration: The Actor will ingest your video script and Dropbox links, mapping @wardrobe, @locations, and @character assets to each scene. Smart UI Automation: I’ll build a reliable "wait-and-click" logic to select specific settings (Resolution, Aspect Ratio, Duration) and toggle between Explore/Credit modes. Queue Management: Using Apify’s RequestQueue, the Actor will process scenes sequentially, ensuring each video is fully generated and downloaded before moving to the next. Anti-Scraping Strategy: I will implement high-quality residential proxies and custom fingerprinting to prevent your account from being flagged during the automation. Relevant Experience: AI Platform Automation: I have successfully built scrapers for platforms like Midjourney and Canva, handling complex file uploads and iterative generations. Apify Actor Development: I am an expert in the Apify SDK, specifically optimizing Actors for memory efficiency and long-running tasks.

Hi, Your description got cut off, but gathering targeted web content through Apify is a well-defined problem — the real challenge is usually deciding between a ready-made Actor from the Apify Store versus a custom one built with Crawlee to handle pagination, dynamic JS rendering, or login walls. My approach: start by mapping exactly which URLs or selectors hold the data you need, then pick the lightest-weight solution — often that's configuring an existing Apify Actor with a custom `startUrls` JSON input and a `pageFunction` filter, which keeps cost and runtime low. If the target site uses React or similar, I'd wire in `puppeteerPool` settings to manage headless Chrome concurrency without burning through your Apify compute units unnecessarily. Within 24 hours I can deliver a working Actor run with a sample dataset export (JSON or CSV) so you can verify the fields match your needs before we finalize scope. One question worth answering now: is the target a single domain, or are you aggregating across multiple sites? That changes the architecture meaningfully and helps me give you an honest estimate of what $100 actually covers. Best regards, Val
