HiAnime Scraper

Extract structured anime data from HiAnime.to. This Apify actor scrapes detailed information—titles, episodes, ratings, genres, and more—for building databases, analytics platforms, or recommendation systems.

Overview

The actor scrapes HiAnime.to based on configurable filters like genre, type, and airing status. It visits each matching anime's detail page to collect comprehensive metadata, outputting clean JSON. Run it directly from the Apify Console by searching for "HiAnime Scraper".
