Komoot Hiking & Outdoor Routes Scraper — Scrape Komoot Routes by Location or Coordinates

Scrape hiking routes, cycling tours and outdoor activities from Komoot, Europe's leading outdoor navigation platform with 200M+ planned routes across 50+ countries. This Komoot scraper queries Komoot's route discovery API to collect distance, elevation, difficulty, ratings, surfaces and named highlights — searchable by location name, GPS coordinates or specific tour IDs. It returns clean structured JSON and needs no login, no API key and no proxy.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape Komoot? The Actor only collects publicly available route data from Komoot's public route discovery API. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Komoot's terms and applicable laws.

Do I need an API key or a login? No. There is no Komoot account, login, API key or proxy required. You only need an Apify account to run the Actor.

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

Where do I find a tour ID? In the route URL: komoot.com/tour/34050831 → the tour ID is 34050831. Add one or more IDs in tours mode.

How much data can I get and how much does it cost? You can scrape thousands of routes per run depending on availability in your search area. As a rough guide, 100 routes cost about $0.50, 500 routes about $2.50, and 1,000 routes about $5.00 on pay-per-result pricing.

What does the visitors field mean? It is the number of Komoot users who have completed or navigated that route — a good proxy for route popularity.

What output formats are supported? Results are stored in a structured Apify dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or accessed via the Apify API.
