About.me Profile Scraper

Turn public About.me usernames or profile URLs into structured profile records with professional roles, location, education, interests. Submit one profile or process a batch and export the results from Apify.

What this Actor does

The Actor normalizes submitted profile references, removes duplicates, requests each public page, and writes one Dataset item for each unique profile it processes. Successful items contain the complete public profile; unavailable, blocked, rate-limited, or not-found inputs are retained as non-billable status items so a batch can be audited without guessing which references were skipped.

Use cases

• Research creators, brands, competitors, and link-in-bio strategies.
• Enrich CRM, directory, or outreach-review records with public profile data.
• Audit outbound links, social destinations, public emails, and embedded media.
• Compare profile content and destinations across creator platforms.

How to use

1. Add one or more About.me usernames or public profile URLs.
2. Start the Actor from Apify Console.
3. Open the Dataset when the run finishes.
4. Export the structured profile rows in your preferred format.

Input

profiles is required and accepts About.me usernames or public profile URLs. A run accepts up to 500 rows of profile references. Usernames and URLs are normalized, duplicate profiles are processed only once, and references belonging to other platforms are reported as invalid rather than charged as successful profiles.

This exact input produced the complete output below:

{
  "profiles": [
    "bfeld"
  ]
}

Output

Each successful Dataset item contains the normalized profile identity and all customer-visible public data exposed for that page. Status items contain the original profile reference, collection status, HTTP result when available, and safe warnings. Empty arrays, null values, warnings, status fields, and collection timestamps are preserved so integrations can distinguish unavailable data from omitted fields. Image and media URLs hosted by the source platform can expire.

This is the complete first Dataset item from a real successful run:

Collection status

The live log reports progress and successful and unavailable profiles. Completed means all unique requested profiles were collected successfully; Stopped indicates an incomplete collection. Saved records remain available.

The RUN_STATS record reports status, profilesEmitted, profilesCharged, and individual outcomes. Status is completed, partial, source_unavailable, stopped, invalid_input, or failed. A time or spending limit can leave profiles unprocessed. Unconfirmed saved or charged totals are reported as unknown.

Pricing

The Actor charges one profile-item event for each successfully collected profile written to the Dataset. Apify selects the tier from your account plan automatically.

Apify plan tier	Price per profile	Price per 1,000 profiles
Free	$0.001	$1.00
Bronze	$0.0009	$0.90
Silver	$0.0008	$0.80
Gold	$0.00075	$0.75
Platinum	$0.00075	$0.75
Diamond	$0.00075	$0.75

Invalid, duplicated, unavailable, blocked, rate-limited, or not-found references do not trigger a profile-item charge. You can set a maximum total charge in Apify before starting a run.

Limits and data quality

The input limit of 500 rows is a maximum, not a guaranteed result count. Only publicly accessible information can be returned. Private, deleted, unavailable, regionally restricted, or temporarily blocked profiles may produce a status record instead of a successful profile. Counts, links, page content, and signed media URLs can change after collection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I submit usernames and full URLs together?

Yes. Both forms are normalized and duplicates are removed within the run.

Why is a field empty?

The public profile may not expose that field, the content may be intentionally hidden, or the source may have changed. Check the item's status and warnings before treating an empty value as an error.

Does the Actor open or crawl every external link?

No. It extracts the destinations and public metadata exposed on the profile; it does not crawl the external websites behind those links.

Responsible use

Use only publicly available information for lawful purposes. Respect About.me's terms, applicable privacy and data-protection laws, copyright, and profile-owner rights. Do not use the output for harassment, discrimination, deceptive activity, or unsolicited outreach without the required permission.

Support

Open an issue in the Actor's Issues tab with the run ID, affected public profile reference, returned status, and expected result. Never include passwords, tokens, or private credentials.
