Is it legal to scrape PromptBase?

PromptBase Scraper only extracts publicly available data from the PromptBase marketplace. It does not bypass any authentication, access private user data, or download actual prompt content (only metadata like titles, prices, and descriptions).

Web scraping of public data is generally legal, as confirmed by the US Court of Appeals ruling in hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn. However, you should always review and comply with the target website's terms of service and applicable data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA) before scraping.

For more information, see Apify's guide on web scraping legality.

FAQ

How fast is PromptBase Scraper? Without detail pages, the scraper extracts 30-50 prompts per page load (2-5 seconds). With detail pages enabled, each prompt takes an additional 1-2 seconds. A typical run of 50 prompts with details completes in about 2 minutes.

How much does it cost to scrape 100 prompts? About $0.44 on the Free tier ($0.035 start + 100 × $0.004 per prompt). Higher subscription tiers get volume discounts.

Does this scraper download the actual prompts? No. PromptBase Scraper only extracts publicly visible metadata — titles, prices, descriptions, ratings, and seller info. The actual prompt text that buyers pay for is not accessible without purchase.

Why are some fields null in the output? Fields like rating, reviewCount, favorites, and views may be null when scraping without detail pages (includeDetails: false), or when a prompt is too new to have engagement data. Enable detail pages for the most complete data.

Why do I get different results than expected for my search? PromptBase's search results are influenced by trending algorithms and seller boosting. The same search query may return different results on different days. Use sortBy: "created" for chronological results.
