Carrd Profile Scraper — Links, Socials, Emails & Commerce Signals

Extract complete Carrd.co one-page profiles — profile name, bio, avatar, every outbound link, classified social profiles, emails (including emails hidden inside Carrd's obfuscated mailto: links), embedded contact/signup forms, and commerce signals (Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad and other payment embeds). Built for lead-gen agencies, influencer outreach teams, creator-economy data vendors and email-finder SaaS.

Carrd is one of the most popular free one-page site builders (free subdomains at *.carrd.co, plus crd.co, drr.ac, ju.mp, uwu.ai and custom domains). Its pages are 100% server-rendered, so this actor extracts everything with a lightweight HTTP crawler — no browser, no CAPTCHAs, no heavy compute. You can run it on Apify's cloud with automatic proxy rotation, scheduling, API access and clean JSON/CSV/Excel output.

Why use Carrd Profile Scraper?

• Lead generation: every Carrd page is a lead. Get the owner's name, bio, email (Carrd obfuscates emails in mailto: links — this actor decodes them), and social profiles in one record.
• Influencer outreach: identify creators' platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Twitch, Discord...) and contact channels.
• Commerce intelligence: detect whether a profile sells — Stripe checkout buttons/price IDs, PayPal buttons, Gumroad buy buttons, Lemon Squeezy, Ko-fi, Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee and more — useful for creator-economy data products.
• Email enrichment: decode Carrd's entity+URL-obfuscated mailto links, plus grab plain-text emails.
• Cheap at scale: CheerioCrawler (plain HTTP) is ~10x cheaper than browser scrapers on Apify compute units.

How to use

1. Create a task in Apify Console (or use the API) and paste your list of Carrd site URLs into Start URLs.
2. Optionally set maxRequestsPerCrawl (how many profiles to scrape), maxConcurrency and proxy options.
3. Run the actor. Each input URL produces one dataset record with all extracted fields.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, HTML or Excel, or pull them via the Apify API.

Free (unauthenticated) runs are capped at 10 profiles; authenticated runs scrape up to your configured limit.

How much does it cost to scrape Carrd sites?

This actor is a plain HTTP crawler — no browser. Expect roughly 1 compute unit per 1,000–2,000 pages on Apify (cheaper than any browser-based scraper). Free-tier preview runs are capped at 10 profiles so you can try it at zero cost. Use maxConcurrency 3–5 to stay polite to the target and keep using the built-in Apify proxy.

Tips & advanced options

• Find more Carrd sites: combine with a Google search ("site:carrd.co") and feed the result URLs into startUrls.
• Residential proxy: if a specific target blocks the datacenter AUTO proxy, switch proxyGroup to BUYPROXIES94952.
• Lead-scoring: filter the dataset on commerce.hasCommerce === true to prioritize profiles that already sell (likely to buy outreach/automation tools).
• Form detection: forms includes hasEmailField and hasNameField so you can instantly spot pages that capture leads (newsletter signups, contact forms).
• Avoid CAPTCHA triggers: keep maxConcurrency low and don't re-run the same URL list back-to-back thousands of times.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

• Is scraping Carrd legal? Carrd's free subdomains are public web pages; extracting publicly available profile/link data is generally fine. Respect the sites' terms, do not harvest data for spam, and comply with applicable privacy laws (e.g. GDPR/CCPA) when storing personal data. This actor does not bypass any login or access controls.
• Custom domains: the actor works on any domain that renders a Carrd page (confirmed via the cda-signature meta tag), not only *.carrd.co.
• Known limitation: content loaded purely via embeds that need JS to render inside iframes (e.g. full Shoprocket storefronts) is detected by signal, not deep-scraped — if you need embedded-store product data, contact us for a custom extension.
• Support: open an issue on the Apify Actor's Issues tab, or reach out for custom solutions (bulk lists, CRM enrichment, Google Sheets sync, Zapier/n8n integration).
