Paved Newsletter Sponsorship Marketplace Scraper

Scrape Paved's newsletter advertising marketplace for the ad inventory media buyers shop: subscriber counts, sponsored post/email/dedicated-email pricing, ad formats, next open slot, category, and social-proof signals like past advertisers and verified/featured/in-demand badges.

What it does

This actor scrapes newsletter listings from Paved, the newsletter advertising marketplace advertisers use to find and price newsletter sponsorships.

For each newsletter it extracts:

• Name, domain, category, logo, and Paved profile URL
• Subscriber count and a free-text audience description (often includes geography and demographics)
• Ad formats offered (Sponsored Posts, Sponsored Emails, Dedicated Emails) and the listed price(s) for each
• Next available open ad slot date and how many upcoming slots are open
• Verified / top-rated / in-demand / featured / has-discounts flags and the maximum discount offered
• Campaign history — successful campaign count, repeat campaigns, rebookings, days since the listing was last updated
• Paved's computed estimated earnings-per-visit (an ROI/CPM-style benchmark)
• Names of brands that have previously sponsored the newsletter, when published

Use cases

• Media buying — build a shortlist of newsletters by category, audience size, and price
• Rate-card research — see what comparable newsletters charge for sponsored posts, sponsored emails, and dedicated sends
• Prospecting — find newsletters with open ad slots in a specific niche
• Competitive intelligence — see which brands have sponsored a given newsletter before
• Budget planning — filter by subscriber count to match a target reach and spend

Notes

• Price fields are arrays because a newsletter can publish more than one price point for the same ad format (e.g. different placements within a sponsored email).
• next_available_date and available_slot_count reflect only upcoming dates the publisher has currently published as open — a sold-out newsletter returns null / 0.
• Fields like rebookings, max_discount_pct, and featured are only present when the publisher has set them; most listings populate the majority of fields.
