ClinicalTrials.gov Scraper

Clinical trials scraper for ClinicalTrials.gov data — pull structured clinical trial data by condition, status, phase, sponsor, and location in one run.

Built for pharma and biotech business development, CROs, and medical researchers who need a current, structured view of the trial landscape for a disease area or competitor. This clinical trials scraper reads the official ClinicalTrials.gov API v2, so every study comes straight from the NIH-maintained registry of record.

No API key required. Give it a condition (and optionally a drug, sponsor, or keyword) and filter by recruitment status — get back NCT IDs, titles, conditions, phase, study type, lead sponsor, enrollment, dates, and location counts as clean ClinicalTrials.gov data.

Use cases

• Pharma and biotech BD teams tracking competitor pipelines and recruiting trials in a disease area.
• CROs sizing the trial landscape and identifying active sponsors for partnership outreach.
• Biotech market intelligence monitoring phase, enrollment, and status shifts across a condition.
• Medical researchers assembling a structured dataset of trials by condition for review or analysis.

vs Citeline / Informa trial-intelligence

Citeline and Informa trial-intelligence products are enterprise-priced subscriptions. This clinical trials scraper pulls the same official ClinicalTrials.gov registry data the registry publishes — pay per result, no subscription.

Honest caveat: this is registry data only, not Citeline's curated analyst overlay (de-duplicated drug programs, competitive read-throughs, hand-coded outcomes). If you need the analyst layer, that's a paid product. If you need accurate, current registry facts at scale, this is it.

Pricing

Pay per result — billed only for the studies returned, no subscription.
