About.me Profile Scraper

Open the Actor on Apify

Extract complete public About.me profiles into a structured dataset. Enter About.me usernames or profile URLs and receive one profile record with the person's identity, professional information, biography, education, interests, images, featured links, social links, public emails, SEO metadata, and detected video links.

The Actor returns the information that the profile owner has made public. Each profile is represented by one dataset record, so links, social destinations, emails, media, and profile details stay together and are easy to export.

What this About.me scraper collects

• One or many public About.me profiles in a single run.
• Usernames, @usernames, or full https://about.me/<username> URLs.
• Display name, username, page title, headline, roles, location, and job title.
• Full public biography as readable text and separate paragraphs.
• Public profile image information and available image URLs.
• Education, interests, and other public profile sections when published.
• Featured or spotlight link, regular profile links, and social destinations.
• Unique public email addresses when the profile visibly publishes them.
• Search and sharing metadata such as title, description, canonical URL, Open Graph fields, Twitter card fields, and robots information.
• Public video URLs and embedded media references when present on the profile.
• A simple signal indicating whether an AI Twin widget is visible on the page.

Pricing

The Actor costs $1 per 1,000 profiles, equivalent to $0.001 per profile.

You are charged once for each successfully obtained profile record. The number of links, social links, emails, images, or videos inside that profile does not create additional charges.

Profiles that are invalid, unavailable, blocked, or not found are not charged as successful profile records.

Apify may show its normal platform resource costs separately according to your account and selected run settings.

Input

The only required input is profiles.

Field	Required	Default	Description
profiles	Yes	bfeld	About.me usernames or full profile URLs. Up to 500 entries per run.

Examples of accepted values:

bfeld
@officialpage
https://about.me/bfeld

Example input:

{
  "profiles": [
    "bfeld",
    "https://about.me/officialpage",

Duplicate usernames and URLs are removed automatically. The Actor does not accept arbitrary website URLs; this prevents accidental collection of unrelated websites.

Result statuses

Successful profiles use status: "ok". Other statuses explain why a profile was not emitted as a successful paid result:

• invalid_input: the value is not a valid About.me username or profile URL;
• not_found: About.me returned HTTP 404;
• forbidden: About.me did not allow the request;
• rate_limited: the request was rate limited;
• blocked: the response was an access challenge;
• parser_drift: the page did not contain the public profile information needed to build a record;
• timeout or network_error: the request could not be completed.

Exporting results

After a run, open the Dataset in Apify and export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or another format supported by Apify. The profiles view makes the most important identity, link, email, and media counts easy to review before exporting.

Limitations

• Only information publicly displayed by the profile is collected.
• Private, deleted, password-protected, or unavailable information is not reconstructed.
• The Actor does not log in, submit forms, or collect private account data.
• Video fields contain public URLs and references, not downloaded video files.
• A profile may change between runs, so results represent the public page at the time of collection.

Responsible use

Use the Actor only for profiles and information you are allowed to collect. Respect About.me's terms, applicable privacy and data-protection laws, and the rights of profile owners. Do not use the output for unsolicited messages, discrimination, harassment, or any activity that violates applicable rules.
