Scrape the complete italki language-teacher marketplace — extract teacher profiles including pricing, ratings, lesson history, teaching languages, and spoken languages across 150+ languages.
What it does
italki is the world's largest online language-tutor marketplace. This actor fetches teacher directory pages at https://www.italki.com/en/teachers/<language>, extracts the full server-side rendered profile data embedded in each page's __NEXT_DATA__ JSON blob, and saves structured records to a dataset.
No JavaScript rendering required — italki embeds complete teacher data in the HTML response, so every fetch is a lightweight HTTP request.
