The Knot Wedding Vendor Scraper

The Knot lists thousands of wedding vendors across every category and city, but the site gives you no way to pull that into a spreadsheet. If you are building a vendor directory, mapping a local market, or sizing up the competition, copying names and ratings card by card gets old fast. This scraper does it for you: hand it a marketplace URL, or just a category and city, and every vendor comes back as one tidy row with the business name, service area, rating, review count, price tier, portfolio photos, and award badges already split into fields.

What you get

Each vendor card turns into a single row with a steady shape, so your columns line up when you drop the results into a sheet or database. The fields break down into three groups:

• Business — businessName, profileUrl, serviceArea, vendorCategory, priceTier, bioSnippet
• Reputation — starRating, reviewsTotal, bestOfWeddings, awardList, badgeLabels
• Media and source — photoLinks, sourcePageUrl, sourcePageNumber, listingId, collectedAt

Quick start

1. Press Try for free to open the input form.
2. Paste one or more The Knot marketplace URLs into Marketplace listing URLs. No URL handy? Fill in Vendor category slug and City and state slug instead and the actor builds the URL for you.
3. Set Pages to read per URL and Total vendors to keep to size the run.
4. Hit Start, then export your results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

Use cases

• Vendor directory building — assemble a clean list of photographers, florists, or DJs for a city you cover
• Local market research — compare ratings, review volume, and price tiers across an area
• Lead lists for wedding services — find active vendors by category and location for outreach
• Competitor tracking — watch where rival businesses rank and which awards they carry
• Planning tools and apps — feed structured vendor data into your own site, sheet, or product

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
listingUrls	array of strings	One of listingUrls or categorySlug + locationSlug	The Knot marketplace result URLs to harvest. Each runs with pagination.

locationSlug	string	Optional	City-and-state slug paired with the category to build a search URL, e.g. austin-tx.
pageLimit	integer	No	Result pages to walk per URL; each page holds up to 30 vendors. Default 2.
resultsLimit	integer	No	Cap on total vendor rows kept across all URLs. Default 40.

Tips for best results

• Filter on The Knot first. Open the marketplace, choose your category and city, then copy that URL — a focused search gives you a cleaner, more relevant dataset.
• No URL? Use the slugs. Leave listingUrls empty and set categorySlug plus locationSlug, and the actor assembles the search URL for you.
• Keep test runs small. Start with resultsLimit at 20–40 to confirm the output fits your pipeline, then raise it for the full pull.
• Reach deeper with pageLimit. One page returns up to 30 vendors; bump the limit to walk further into the results.
• Raise timeoutSeconds if pages time out, since rendered marketplace pages can be slow to load.

How can I use The Knot wedding vendor data?

How can I use The Knot Wedding Vendor Scraper to build a vendor directory? Paste the marketplace URL for a category and city, set resultsLimit to the volume you want, and export to CSV or Excel. Each row carries businessName, profileUrl, serviceArea, and priceTier, so you get a ready-made directory of active vendors without copying cards by hand.

How can I compare wedding vendors by rating and reviews? Pull a full category for one area and sort the rows by starRating and reviewsTotal. With bestOfWeddings and awardList alongside, you can quickly see which photographers, florists, or DJs are the most trusted in town.

How can I scrape The Knot by category and location without a URL? Skip listingUrls and fill in categorySlug (such as wedding-djs) and locationSlug (such as miami-fl). The actor builds the marketplace search URL, walks the pages, and returns one structured row per vendor — handy for collecting leads across several markets.

How can I gather wedding vendor leads for outreach? Run the scraper across the categories and cities you serve, then use businessName, profileUrl, and serviceArea to shape a contact list. The badgeLabels field even flags vendors that respond quickly, so you can prioritize the most responsive ones.
