DesignRush Agency Directory Scraper Features

• Crawls all 38 DesignRush categories — digital marketing, IT services, cloud consulting, cybersecurity, web development, and more
• Returns a named client list per agency — the field most directory scrapes skip, sitting right below the fold on the source page
• Captures full review detail: reviewer name, job title, employer, star rating, and review text — not just an aggregate score
• Parses hourly rate and minimum project size into numeric fields alongside the raw label, so results sort and filter directly
• Flags verified and sponsored/promoted listings separately, so you can tell paid placement from organic ranking
• Filter by category, or leave it empty and get the full directory in one run

Who Uses DesignRush Agency Directory Data?

• Agencies — Benchmark competitors' rates, client rosters, and review volume against your own listing.
• PE and M&A associates — Read an agency's named client list as customer-concentration evidence before a deal.
• Lead-gen and sales teams — Every review carries a named decision-maker with a job title and employer — a qualified contact tied to a documented purchase.
• Marketing buyers — Compare hourly rate, minimum project size, and rating across categories before shortlisting a vendor.
• Market researchers — Track category coverage and sponsored-vs-organic placement across the directory over time.

How DesignRush Agency Directory Scraper Works

1. Pick one or more categories, or leave the field empty to crawl all 38.
2. The scraper works through each category's listing pages, pulling every agency card — name, firmographics, services, clients, and reviews all come off the same page.
3. Records are deduplicated by agency and written to the dataset as the run proceeds — check partial results without waiting for the full run to finish.

Input

{
  "categories": ["it-services", "digital-marketing"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
categories	array	[]	DesignRush categories to crawl (e.g. it-services, digital-marketing). Leave empty for all 38.
maxItems	integer	10	Maximum number of agency records to return.
resumeCursor	string	—	Cursor from a previous run's Output. Leave empty for a fresh crawl.

Leave categories empty for the full directory in one run:

{
  "maxItems": 5000
}

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

Why Use DesignRush Agency Directory Scraper?

• Client lists included — DesignRush is the only major agency directory that publishes a named client roster at listing level, and this scraper captures it on every record.
• Full reviewer detail, not just stars — Each review carries a name, job title, and employer, which turns a star rating into a set of qualified, named contacts tied to a documented purchase.
• Numeric fields alongside raw labels — Hourly rate and minimum project size ship as parsed integers as well as the source text, so results sort and filter without a cleanup pass.
