RapidAPI Hub Scraper: API Listings, Metrics and Developer Data

What does RapidAPI Hub Scraper do?

Pull structured data from the RapidAPI Hub marketplace — the world's largest public API directory, with over 40,000 APIs across every category. No account, login, or API key required.

1. Connects to the RapidAPI Hub and discovers all featured and category API listings automatically.
2. Applies your filters including category, pricing model, minimum success rate, and maximum latency.
3. Returns a clean, flat dataset with one row per API, including developer profile and performance scores.
4. Optionally visits each API's profile page to collect every exposed endpoint route and HTTP method.

Why use RapidAPI Hub Scraper?

• SaaS founders: Discover which API categories are oversaturated and where underserved gaps exist before committing to a build.
• Competitive researchers: Track popularity scores and subscriber counts for any API vertical over time.
• Product teams: Monitor competitor APIs for pricing model changes and new endpoint additions.
• Integration developers: Audit which APIs meet your latency and reliability thresholds before subscribing.
• Market analysts: Build a structured dataset of the API economy for investment research or trend reporting.

5. Click Start. Results appear in the Output tab within seconds.
6. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
startUrls	array of URLs	No	RapidAPI Hub category or collection URLs to crawl. Leave empty to scrape the global featured listing.
searchQueries	array of strings	No	Keywords to filter API listings by. Matched against API name, title, description, and category.
categories	array of strings	No	Only return APIs in these categories, e.g. Weather, Finance, Sports. Leave empty for all.
pricingFilter	enum	No	Filter by pricing model. Options: Any, Free only, Freemium only, Paid only. Defaults to Any.
minPopularityScore	number	No	Only return APIs with a RapidAPI popularity score at or above this value (0 to 10). Defaults to 0.
minSuccessRate	number	No	Only return APIs with an average success rate at or above this percentage (0 to 100). Defaults to 0.
maxLatency	integer	No	Only return APIs with average latency at or below this value in milliseconds. Set to 0 for no limit.
collectionsFilter	array of strings	No	Filter to specific RapidAPI collection slugs, e.g. weather-apis, sports-apis. Leave empty for all.
deepScrape	boolean	No	Visit each API profile to collect all exposed endpoint routes, HTTP methods, names, and descriptions. Increases result rows significantly.
maxItems	integer	No	Maximum total API listings to extract. Set to 0 for no limit. Defaults to 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings. Datacenter proxies (the default) work for most requests. Switch to Residential only if hitting rate limits at very high volume.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each API listing successfully extracted and saved to the dataset.

You are not charged for listings filtered out by your search or quality criteria, or for requests that return no data.

Tips or advanced options

• Use category filters to narrow results: Pass one or more names such as Finance or Sports to return only relevant listings.
• Enable deep scrape for endpoint mapping: Turn on Deep Scrape to collect every route and HTTP method exposed by each API. Useful for integration audits and API comparison tools.
• Filter by success rate for reliable picks: Set Min Success Rate to 95 or higher to surface only APIs with a strong reliability track record.
• Stack filters for precision sourcing: Combine category, pricing model, and latency filters to find free APIs under 500ms with high success rates in a single run.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is it legal to scrape RapidAPI Hub?

Yes. This tool accesses only publicly visible marketplace listing pages and does not bypass any login, paywall, or access control.

Does deep scrape cost more per run?

Deep scrape visits each API profile page to collect endpoint data. This increases the number of result rows. You are charged per endpoint row returned, not per API visited.

Can I scrape a specific category or collection?

Yes. Paste a RapidAPI category URL into Start URLs, or use the Category Filter and Collections fields to target specific verticals without providing a URL.
