FFRandonnée Clubs · French Hiking Directory

Export French hiking club contacts from the public FFRandonnée directory. Pick a department (or nationwide) and get one row per club: name, address, published email and phone, website, GPS, activities and Rando Santé labels.

No login. No API key. No federation account.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Outdoor brand or B2B supplier	Prospect list of clubs that buy gear, maps, food	One department first, then All departments
Tourism board or DMO	Territory map of walking clubs	Your département + neighbouring codes
Agency / outbound	CRM feed with mailbox and phone	Overview or Outreach CRM view
Event or trail organiser	Clubs that can relay a race or outing	Filter Rando Santé in the export
Data / ops	Scheduled master table of the federation	departments: ["ALL"], maxItems: 0

What you get by default. Club name, department, address, GPS when the directory has it, website, activities, Rando Santé flag. Email and phone only when the federation published them — many clubs list a website only.

When to enable extra outing details. Pass scrapeDetails: true via API/JSON if you need membership fees, outing days or office phone from the club page. Leave it off for a fast contact export.

How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Pick one or more departments, or All departments.
3. Keep Max clubs at 20 for a first run (Free plan is always 20 per run). Set 0 on a paid plan for a full export of the selection.
4. Click Start. Rows appear in the Dataset while the run is still listing other departments.

Typical coverage

On a 21-club Ain export, every row had a club name, department and directory URL. Email, phone and GPS follow what the federation shows — empty when the club did not publish them. This Actor never invents a mailbox or a number.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
departments	array	["01"]	Department codes, or ALL for nationwide. Corsica 2A/2B is not in this export. Empty array = nationwide.
maxItems	integer	20	0 = no row ceiling. Free plan: 20 / run.

API-only keys

Not shown on the Console form. Safe defaults are already in code.

Key	Type	Default	Notes
scrapeDetails	boolean	false	Extra outing fields from each club page
maxConcurrency	integer	8	Departments in parallel (1–30)
delayBetweenRequests	integer	80	Pause between listing pages (ms)
detailConcurrency	integer	5	Club pages in parallel when outing details are on
detailDelayBetweenRequests	integer	150	Pause between club pages (ms)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify datacenter on cloud	Pass via API if you need a custom proxy
verboseLogs	boolean	false	Debug traces only

Examples

Ain (Try):

{ "departments": ["01"], "maxItems": 20 }

Nationwide, paid plan, no row ceiling:

{ "departments": ["ALL"], "maxItems": 0 }

How it works

1. Reads the public FFRandonnée club listing for each selected department.
2. Deduplicates clubs by structure number.
3. Writes each row to the dataset as soon as it is complete.
4. Optionally opens club pages for outing details (API-only).

How much does it cost to scrape FFRandonnée clubs?

HTTP-only — no browser. You pay pay-per-event on the Store: about $0.00749 per exported club plus a negligible run start.

Scenario	Approx. cost
20 clubs (Try / Free plan)	~$0.15
1,000 clubs	~$7.49
Full selection with maxItems: 0	$0.00749 × clubs exported

Is scraping FFRandonnée free?

Apify Free plan users get 20 clubs per run. Paid plans follow PPE and your max charge. Compute is cheap because this Actor does not launch a browser.

Is it legal to scrape FFRandonnée?

This Actor only accesses data that FFRandonnée makes publicly available in its club directory. As with any data containing personal information, ensure your use complies with GDPR and relevant regulations.

Local development

cd ffr-clubs-scraper
npm install
apify run --input-file=./.actor/INPUT.json

storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json must satisfy the input schema, or pass --input-file. On local apify run, platform/CLI input overwrites overlapping keys from a root input.json.
