What does the Open Brewery DB Scraper do?

This Actor turns any Open Brewery DB search into a structured dataset. You give it by state or by city, it walks the result pages one after another, and it writes one clean row per brewerie into your dataset — ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or to pull straight from the Apify API.

Open Brewery DB publishes a documented, keyless REST API covering breweries worldwide, and the Actor reads it directly. Phone numbers, websites and coordinates come back as structured fields, which is what makes the output usable as a lead list rather than a reference table. Pagination is followed automatically until it runs out of results, hits your page limit or hits your Max items cap, whichever comes first. Every row is de-duplicated across the whole run, so you are never billed twice for the same brewerie.

There is no API key, no login and no browser involved. That keeps runs fast and cheap, and it means you can schedule the Actor without worrying about credentials expiring.

Who is it for?

• B2B sales teams selling equipment, ingredients or services to breweries.
• Distributors and wholesalers mapping accounts by city and state.
• Hospitality and tourism products building brewery directories.
• Market researchers measuring how a craft-beer market is distributed geographically.
• Developers needing a clean venue dataset with coordinates.

Use cases

• Export every brewery in a state as a ready-to-call lead list.
• Map brewery density by city using the latitude and longitude fields.
• Filter to microbreweries or brewpubs using the brewery type.
• Build a contact list of breweries that publish a phone number and website.
• Track how many new breweries appear in a region over time.

Why use this Open Brewery DB Scraper?

• 🔑 Keyless — no account, no API token, no cookies to paste.
• 📦 14 fields per brewerie — everything the result page exposes, already typed.
• 📄 Real pagination — it walks page after page instead of returning the first screen.
• 🎯 Precise caps — Max items stops the run exactly where you want it, so the bill is predictable.
• 📊 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, plus the Apify API and integrations.
• 💸 Pay per result — you pay for rows you actually receive, with no platform fees to calculate.

  "longitude": -117.129593,
  "name": "10 Barrel Brewing Co",
  "page": 1,
  "phone": "6195782311",
  "postalCode": "92101-6618",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-15T07:44:34.624Z",

How to use

Option A — by state

{
  "maxItems": 1000,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 20,
  "state": "california"
}

1. Open the Actor and fill in the state field.
2. Set Max pages per search and Max items to bound the run.
3. Click Start, then export from the Output tab.

Option B — by city

{
  "city": "portland",
  "maxItems": 300,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 10
}

Paste one or more Open Brewery DB URLs into Start URLs and the Actor paginates each of them independently.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
city	string	``	Restrict to one city, e.
state	string	``	Spell it out with underscores, e.
country	string	``	Restrict to one country, e.
maxPagesPerSearch	integer	4	How many result pages to walk for each search.
maxItems	integer	150	Stop after this many breweries.
maxConcurrency	integer	2	Parallel requests.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Proxy used to fetch pages.

Tips for best results

• Filter by city, state or country to keep a run focused; leave them empty to walk the whole directory.
• The API returns 50 breweries per page, so a 20-page run yields roughly 1,000 rows.
• breweryType separates microbreweries, brewpubs, contract and regional operations.
• phone and websiteUrl are the two fields that turn this into a usable lead list — filter on them.
• Coordinates are published for most records, so the output drops straight into a map.
• Planning breweries have no address yet; exclude that type if you need a callable list.
• State names must be spelled out (new_york, not NY).
• Schedule a monthly run to catch newly registered breweries.
• Keep Max concurrency low — the API is free and community-run.
• Pair with the website contact scraper to enrich each brewery site with emails.

Integrations

Send results straight into the tools you already use: Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, Airtable or any Webhook. You can also schedule the Actor to run hourly, daily or weekly and have each run append to the same dataset, which is how you build a price or availability history rather than a one-off snapshot.

API usage

Run the Actor and collect results from any language. Replace <YOUR_TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/logiover~openbrewerydb-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 1000, "maxPagesPerSearch": 20, "state": "california"}'

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('logiover/openbrewerydb-scraper').call({"maxItems": 1000, "maxPagesPerSearch": 20, "state": "california"});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('<YOUR_TOKEN>')
run = client.actor('logiover/openbrewerydb-scraper').call(run_input={"maxItems": 1000, "maxPagesPerSearch": 20, "state": "california"})
for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor is available through the Apify MCP server, so an AI agent can call it as a tool. Point your agent at https://mcp.apify.com and it can run the Open Brewery DB Scraper on demand — for example: "Pull the first 500 breweries from Open Brewery DB and summarise the price distribution." The agent receives the same structured rows you would get from the UI.

FAQ

Do I need a Open Brewery DB account or API key?

No. The Actor reads publicly available pages only. There is nothing to authenticate and no credentials to rotate.

How many breweries can I get in one run?

As many as the search exposes. Raise Max pages per search and Max items together; the run stops at whichever limit it reaches first.

Why did I get fewer rows than I asked for?

The search ran out of breweries. That is normal for narrow queries — broaden the search or add more searches to one run.

Are results de-duplicated?

Yes. Each brewerie is emitted once per run, even when it appears on several pages, so you are never billed twice for the same record.

Why are some fields empty?

Open Brewery DB does not publish every attribute for every brewerie. Empty means the source did not show it, not that extraction failed.

What export formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML and RSS from the Output tab, plus the Apify API and any integration you connect.

How fast is it?

It is pure HTTP with no browser, so a page of results typically takes a second or two. Raise Max concurrency carefully — the source rate-limits aggressive crawling.

Can I schedule it?

Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run it on any interval and append each run to the same dataset for time-series analysis.

Does it work behind a proxy?

It uses Apify Proxy automatically. You can switch groups or supply your own proxies in Proxy configuration.

How often does the data change?

Open Brewery DB updates continuously. Re-run whenever you need current data; the Actor always reads the live pages, never a cache.

Is the output schema stable?

Yes. Field names and types are fixed, so downstream pipelines will not break between runs.

What if the site changes its layout?

Open an issue on the Issues tab and it gets fixed. The Actor is actively maintained.

Is it legal?

This Actor reads only publicly available pages on Open Brewery DB — the same content any visitor sees without logging in. It does not bypass authentication, does not collect private data and does not attempt to defeat access controls. You are responsible for how you use the output: respect the source's terms of service, applicable copyright, and data-protection law such as GDPR where personal data is involved. Scraping public data is generally lawful in the EU and the US, but the responsibility for the downstream use of that data sits with you.
