Depositphotos Scraper

Scrape Depositphotos search results and contributor portfolios without logging in. For each file you get the title, contributor, media type, publish date, size, preview, and optionally the full keyword list. Use it for microstock keyword research, competitor portfolio analysis, trend spotting and mood boards.

Each query or portfolio also produces a niche report: total results, the share of files published in the last 12 months, top contributors, top keywords and Depositphotos' related searches. In one table you can see whether a niche is saturated or still open.

You pay per file. Proxies are included.

Features

• Any source: keyword search, contributor portfolios, or any Depositphotos search, portfolio or file URL.
• Every media type: photos, illustrations, vectors and videos (with duration).
• Sort: best match or newest.
• Keywords: the full keyword list of each file, usually 30–50 keywords.
• Niche report: one summary row per query, so you can compare dozens of keywords at once.
• Contributor links: every file comes with the contributor's ID and portfolio URL, ready for a follow-up run.
• Reliable: runs on residential proxies by default, and failed requests are retried with fresh sessions.

Use cases

• Microstock keyword research: run a list of topics and compare total results (supply) with how many top results are recent (an open niche).
• Better keywording: see which keywords the best-ranked files use, and in what order.
• Competitor analysis: track a contributor's portfolio size and newest uploads.
• Trend monitoring: schedule a run with sort: newest and see what is being uploaded.
• Creative research: collect previews and titles for a mood board.

Tips

• Use maxItemsPerSource of 100–200 with keywords for a solid niche report at low cost.
• Portfolios need the numeric seller ID from the portfolio URL (portfolio-2701349.html). Each file's contributorUrl gives you one.
• Depositphotos does not publish download counts. Use the best-match rank (position) as the demand signal.
