❓ FAQ

Does this work outside Europe? Yes — Komoot covers routes globally, including Americas, Asia, and Australia, though coverage is densest in Europe.

Where do I find a tour ID? In the URL: komoot.com/tour/34050831 → 34050831

What does visitors mean? The number of Komoot users who have completed or navigated this route.

What is constitution? Komoot's internal fitness level required (1-10 scale). Not exposed in output but influences difficulty grading.

Can I get route GPX coordinates? The API returns tour_line geometry. This is not included in the default output but can be accessed via the tourIds mode with direct API calls.

Is this a Komoot API alternative?

Yes — it works as an unofficial Komoot API alternative. Komoot has no public route export API, so this actor queries the route discovery endpoint directly and returns clean, structured JSON for any location, coordinates, or tour ID.

How do I export Komoot routes to CSV or JSON?

Run the actor, then download the dataset from Apify in CSV, JSON, or Excel format. Every hiking, cycling, and MTB route is delivered as a structured row ready for spreadsheets or further processing.

Can I scrape Komoot trail data without login?

Yes. The actor reads Komoot's public route data with no account or login required and no proxy, so you can pull hiking and cycling trail data for any region directly.

How do I scrape all hiking trails near a city on Komoot?

Use location mode with a place name like Munich and sport set to hike, and the actor tiles the search radius to collect every nearby hiking route with distance and elevation.

How do I get mountain bike routes for a region from Komoot?

Set sport to mtb and enter a location or coordinates, and the scraper returns MTB trails with distance, ascent, surface breakdown and difficulty rating.

Can I filter Komoot routes by difficulty level?

Yes. Set difficulty to easy, moderate or difficult and the actor returns only routes matching that grade, perfect for beginner or expert trail directories.
