🎨 Civitai Public Models API Scraper

🚀 Export Civitai public model metadata in seconds. ID, name, type, creator, downloads, favorites, rating, tags, NSFW flag, base model, versions, and file size, straight from the public civitai.com API.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-05 · 📊 15 fields per record · Full Civitai catalogue · Checkpoints, LoRAs, ControlNets, VAEs, and more

The Civitai Public Models API Scraper turns the civitai.com/api/v1/models public REST endpoint into a clean dataset. It paginates through the catalogue with whatever sort, type, base model, and NSFW filters you supply, then flattens each model into one row.

Coverage spans the full Civitai catalogue, the largest open community for Stable Diffusion checkpoints, LoRAs, ControlNets, textual inversions, VAEs, and motion modules. Each row carries id, name, type, creator, download and favorite counts, rating, tags, NSFW flag, base model name, version count, and first file size in KB.

📋 What the Civitai Public Models API Scraper does

• Calls /api/v1/models with your chosen sort, query, type, and base model filters.
• Paginates via the Civitai cursor field.
• Flattens nested stats, creator, and first-version data into top-level fields.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a clean error record.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: Civitai is the open hub for Stable Diffusion and related generative models. This actor turns its catalogue into a structured dataset for trend tracking and discovery.

⚙️ Input

Example 1, top rated checkpoints:

{"sort":"Highest Rated","type":"Checkpoint","maxItems":50}

Example 2, SDXL LoRAs:

{"type":"LORA","baseModel":"SDXL 1.0","maxItems":100}

⚠️ Good to Know: The Civitai API is public. Optionally set a CIVITAI_API_KEY environment variable for higher rate limits. The key is read server-side and never exposed in the input.
