Adobe Stock Scraper — Search & Portfolios

Illustrative artwork; not a sample scraper result.

Turn an Adobe Stock artwork, search or contributor link into structured data: asset IDs, titles, Adobe links, previews, available keyword tags and content types. Use the results for creative research, contributor reviews and spreadsheet workflows. No Adobe login or API key is required.

Start in three steps

1. Paste an Adobe Stock artwork, search or contributor link, or enter keywords or asset IDs. Leave the other input empty.
2. Choose Maximum results. Start with25; optionally choose a content type for keyword searches.
3. Click Start, then open Assets and export JSON or CSV.

Try this search:

{"url":"https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=business","maxItems":25}

Leaving the link and keywords blank runs the example search business teamwork. Running on Apify requires an Apify account and consumes platform resources.

Ready-to-use examples

Copy a preset below into the JSON input editor. The five search/portfolio presets are also tested saved Tasks; the artwork preset is a direct input example.

Individual artworks

{"assetIds":["507970140","https://stock.adobe.com/198081475"],"maxItems":25}

You can also paste one artwork link into Adobe Stock link. Only an exact matching Adobe ID is delivered. Unresolved IDs are listed in the summary; unavailable metadata stays empty. Detail rows have resultType: ASSET_DETAILS and no search position. This lookup returns available metadata, not original licensed files or private sales data.

Keyword research

{
  "keywords": [
    "business"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}

Contributor portfolio

{
  "url": "https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/204881684",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Photos for a creative brief

{
  "keywords": [
    "business"
  ],
  "assetType": "photo",
  "maxItems": 25
}

Vectors for design research

{
  "keywords": [
    "business"
  ],
  "assetType": "vector",
  "maxItems": 25
}

Find an asset within a search

{
  "keywords": [
    "business"
  ],
  "assetType": "photo",
  "assetIds": [
    "507970140"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}

The result limit applies across the entire run. With multiple keywords or urls, later inputs can be skipped once that limit is reached. assetIds selects matches within the collected search results; IDs not found are listed in the run summary.

Use with AI assistants through MCP

Connect a compatible MCP client to:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=apivault_labs/adobe-stock-scraper

Use Apify OAuth where your client supports it, or configure your own Apify token in the client's secure credentials. No Adobe credentials are needed. The Apify MCP guide covers client setup.

Example prompt:

Use Adobe Stock Scraper to collect25 photo results for “business”. Return their titles, Adobe links and available tags in a table.

The tool is apivault_labs--adobe-stock-scraper. Use the same input JSON shown above. After the run finishes, read its dataset; for larger outputs, read the returned dataset in batches. Check the run status, summary and errors before treating a collection as complete.

What you receive

Assets shows previews, titles, clickable Adobe links, IDs, tags and collection context. All delivered fields remain available in the JSON export. This compact example uses fields from a real successful run:

{
  "assetId": "507970140",
  "title": "diverse coworkers working together in boardroom, brainstorming, discussing and analyzing and planning business strategy.",
  "assetUrl": "https://stock.adobe.com/507970140",
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://t4.ftcdn.net/jpg/05/07/97/01/240_F_507970140_mWRJUOHJcwCe20pGEYIpNjF8qUAvqjYd.jpg"
}

Missing metadata is left empty. Collection time means when the run observed the data; it does not establish when Adobe last updated it.

Coverage and limits

• Search and contributor collections are bounded samples, with at most2000 results. They are not guaranteed complete portfolios or catalogues.
• Photos, illustrations, vectors and videos can be selected for keyword searches, up to100 results. Portfolios and larger collections use All content.
• Tags are included when available and may be absent. Tag priority, AI flags, dimensions and other missing metadata are not inferred.
• Result order is not a verified Adobe website rank, newest-first order or download ranking. Source freshness is not verified.
• Individual artwork links/IDs return exact matches when available. Missing IDs do not prove deletion. Advanced AI, orientation and original-size filters remain unavailable. Only metadata and previews are returned; licensed originals are not downloaded.
• Each run collects its own output. No history, accumulation or notifications are included.

If a run fails or returns fewer results, inspect Run summary and Errors. An empty collection means no matching data was delivered; it does not prove an asset is absent from Adobe Stock.

Understand your collection

Open Collection report after a run for delivered rows, completed searches, removed duplicates and the stopping reason. SUCCEEDED means the requested collection finished within its sample and output limits; it does not mean the full catalogue was collected. PARTIAL means useful rows were delivered but a result spending limit or a later collection error stopped the rest. Those rows remain available in the dataset. FAILED means collection or delivery could not finish without any confirmed delivered rows.

Large all-content and contributor samples remove exact repeated asset records before delivery and billing. Conflicting records for the same ID are rejected rather than merged. Strict small search-window validation remains in place. If a later search fails, already verified rows from earlier searches are preserved; the report identifies the incomplete run. An asset found in two different searches remains two context-specific result rows.

Pricing

Pay per delivered result: $0.20 per 1,000 dataset rows on every plan, plus Apify platform usage. There is no separate Actor start fee. One result is one asset row delivered for a search or contributor collection; the same asset in different searches is a separate row. Errors and empty collections do not incur result charges. Platform usage can still apply to those runs.

Check the Store Pricing tab for the effective price and any activation date. Your run spending limit controls how many paid results can be delivered; reaching it can stop a run with a partial dataset.
