RapidAPI Scraper

🔎 RapidAPI scraper for marketplace API data

RapidAPI Scraper collects public API listings from RapidAPI. Use this rapidapi scraper to search the marketplace by keyword, enrich exact API profile URLs, browse category names, or collect APIs from collection slugs such as popular-apis.

The Actor saves one dataset item per successfully scraped RapidAPI API listing or profile. Rows can include API IDs, canonical profile URLs, names, descriptions, categories, tags, provider facts, logo URLs, pricing labels, visibility/status fields, source update dates, score and performance metrics, billing plans, documentation, website links, and endpoint metadata when you request it.

You do not need a RapidAPI account, API key, cookies, or browser session. For a quick first run, keep Target type set to Search keywords, use the prefilled weather query, keep Detail level on Basic listing, and run a small result limit before raising it.

✅ What this Actor does

• Searches RapidAPI marketplace listings from one or more keywords.
• Scrapes exact RapidAPI API profile URLs.
• Browses RapidAPI category pages by category name.
• Browses RapidAPI collections by collection slug.
• Lets you choose basic listing data, detailed profile data, or detailed profile and endpoint data.
• Preserves source order for search, category, and collection discovery rows.
• Deduplicates the same API within a run.
• Saves only successful API rows, so status messages and skipped targets do not pollute the dataset.

This Actor is built for API discovery, competitor research, software market maps, developer tool research, and repeatable RapidAPI marketplace exports. It focuses on public marketplace data. It does not scrape private RapidAPI account data, subscriber-only data, API keys, account dashboards, or generated recommendations.

📦 Data you can extract

Each dataset item can include:

• apiId, url, name, title, and slug
• description and longDescription
• categoryName, tags, and logoUrl
• position for ordered search, category, and collection results
• pricing, visibility, status, apiType, updatedAt, and createdAt
• provider identity and provider profile links
• metrics such as score, popularity, latency, service level, and success rate when RapidAPI exposes them
• version, billingPlans, billingItems, rating, and subscriptionsCount
• websiteUrl, termsOfServiceUrl, and documentation
• endpoints with titles, methods, endpoint URLs, playground URLs, descriptions, parameters, and headers when endpoint enrichment is requested and the source exposes them

Some fields can be null or empty when RapidAPI does not show that fact for a listing or profile. Basic runs return marketplace listing fields. Detailed runs add profile, billing, rating, documentation, and endpoint groups when available.

🎯 Target options

Choose one target type per run.

Search keywords searches RapidAPI by use case, API type, provider name, or product keyword. Examples: weather, translation, finance, or web search.

Profile URLs enriches exact RapidAPI API profile URLs, such as https://rapidapi.com/weatherapi/api/weatherapi-com. Profile URL runs use your submitted URL list as the full scope.

Categories browses RapidAPI category pages by category name, such as Data, Finance, Weather, or Tools.

Collections browses RapidAPI collections by slug, such as popular-apis or list-of-free-apis.

Use Sort results by, Order, and Maximum discovered APIs for search, category, and collection discovery runs. Profile URL runs do not use discovery sorting because the submitted URLs define the scope.

🚀 How to run it

1. Open the Actor input.
2. Choose one Target type.
3. Fill the matching target section only.
4. Choose Detail level.
5. For discovery targets, set Maximum discovered APIs.
6. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

Start with Basic listing when you want a broad marketplace export. Use Detailed profile when you need billing plans, documentation, ratings, and profile facts. Use Detailed profile and endpoints when you also need public endpoint metadata.

You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML. You can also run the Actor through the Apify API, schedule repeat runs, or connect results to webhooks and integrations.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged only for successful API items that are saved.

• Scraped API listing - charged for each basic marketplace listing item.
• Scraped API profile - charged for each profile, direct URL, or endpoint-enriched item.

There is no actor-start charge.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

RapidAPI categories, collections, rankings, and public profile fields can change over time. If RapidAPI does not expose a field for a specific API, the Actor leaves that field null or empty.

Endpoint metadata is returned only when Detailed profile and endpoints is selected and the endpoint data is public. The Actor does not call the APIs listed on RapidAPI, test endpoint availability, or verify that a provider's paid API plans still work.

For clearer exports, run one target type at a time. If you need search results and collection results, run the Actor twice and compare the datasets.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a RapidAPI account?

No. The Actor reads public RapidAPI marketplace data and does not ask for RapidAPI credentials, cookies, API keys, or a browser session.

Can I scrape one exact API profile?

Yes. Choose Profile URLs, paste one or more RapidAPI API profile URLs, and select the detail level you need.

Does it return endpoint parameters and headers?

Yes, when Detailed profile and endpoints is selected and RapidAPI exposes those endpoint facts publicly. Some APIs show fewer endpoint details than others.

Why should I run separate target types?

Separate runs keep scope, sorting, limits, and pricing easier to understand. Search, category, collection, and profile URL targets are still all supported by the same Actor.
