NOAA Tide Predictions Scraper

NOAA Tide Predictions Scraper — a fast, reliable tide predictions scraper that needs no API key. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free.

This tide predictions scraper runs on the Apify platform, so you can call it from the API, run it on a schedule, or export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.

What this scraper does

• Extracts structured tide predictions data with no browser or API key required
• Returns clean JSON, one record per result — ready for sheets, databases, or apps
• Pay-per-result pricing: you are never charged for a run that returns nothing
• Runs on demand or on a schedule, and integrates with 5,000+ apps via the Apify API and webhooks

Each result record includes fields such as:

• Station (station) — e.g. "9410230"
• Time (time) — e.g. "2026-07-11 19:10"

• Tide Type (tideType) — e.g. "High"

Run it as a monitor (alerts on new tide predictions)

Schedule this tide predictions scraper to run automatically — hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule — with the built-in Apify Scheduler, and have results pushed to you by webhook, email, Slack, or your own app the moment they're ready. It's the easiest way to monitor tide predictions for changes over time and get alerted the instant something new appears — no manual runs. Because pricing is per result, a scheduled monitor only ever charges you for the data each run actually returns.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing at $0.0004 per record. There is no monthly fee and no start fee — and empty or failed runs cost $0, so you only ever pay for data you actually receive.
