Mojeek Search Scraper

Extract organic web search results from Mojeek — an independent, privacy-focused search engine with its own built-from-scratch web index (not powered by Google, Bing, or any third party).

Features

• Organic results — title, URL, snippet, domain, displayed URL
• Pagination — automatically follows pages (offset-based via s parameter) up to maxItems
• Cross-page deduplication — skips URLs already seen in previous pages
• Knowledge panel — extracts entity info boxes (Wikipedia-sourced) shown at the top of results
• Site clusters — captures "See more results from domain.com" cluster links
• Topic tags — extracts topic/category tags when present on results
• Geo-targeting — set region (country code) and language for localized results
• Safe search — configurable (0 = off, 1 = moderate, 2 = strict)
• Proxy support — works with Apify residential/datacenter proxies

Pagination

Mojeek uses offset-based pagination via the s parameter:

• Page 1: s=0 (or omitted)
• Page 2: s=10
• Page 3: s=20
• The scraper queues the next page automatically until maxItems is reached
• Duplicate URLs are tracked across pages to prevent pushing the same result twice

Dataset Views

The dataset provides two views:

1. Search Results Overview — all key fields in a table (default)
2. Results With Knowledge Panel — focused view with knowledge panel and site cluster info
