Beacons Profile & Links Scraper

Turn public Beacons usernames or profile URLs into structured profile records with creator identity, featured links, social destinations, media. 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 per successfully collected profile. Results preserve the public page structure while also providing normalized links, social destinations, emails, images, media, SEO fields, and collection status when available.

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 Beacons 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 Beacons usernames or public profile URLs. A run accepts up to 500 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": [
    "beacons"
  ]
}

Output

Each successful Dataset item contains the normalized profile identity and all customer-visible public data exposed for that page. 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:

Pricing

The Actor uses plan-based pricing for each successfully collected profile:

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 successful profiles	Price per profile
Free	$1.00	$0.00100
Bronze	$0.90	$0.00090
Silver	$0.80	$0.00080
Gold	$0.75	$0.00075
Platinum	$0.75	$0.00075
Diamond	$0.75	$0.00075

Apify selects the applicable price from the customer's plan. A profile-item charge is triggered only after a successfully collected profile is saved to the default Dataset. Invalid, duplicated, unavailable, blocked, rate-limited, and not-found profiles are not charged, and there is no start fee. Platform usage for the Actor run is included in the event price.

Limits and data quality

The 500-reference limit 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 Beacons'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.
