ClinicalTrials.gov Scraper: Clinical Trials Search & Export

Search and export clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov in bulk. Filter by condition, drug or intervention, sponsor, location, phase, recruitment status, study type and dates, and get one clean row per study:

• NCT ID, link, title, official title and acronym
• Status (recruiting, completed and more), phase, study type, why it stopped (if it did)
• Conditions, keywords, MeSH terms and interventions (drugs, devices, procedures)
• Lead sponsor, sponsor type (industry, NIH and others) and collaborators
• Enrollment, allocation, masking and primary purpose
• Dates: start, primary completion, completion, first posted and last updated
• Eligibility: sex, age range, healthy volunteers and full criteria
• Primary outcomes, brief summary, whether results are posted
• Study sites: facility, city, state, country, site status and the total site count

The data comes from the official ClinicalTrials.gov API v2, run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and covers 500,000+ studies worldwide. Contact names, phone numbers and emails are intentionally not collected.

Who is it for?

• Pharma and biotech competitive intelligence: track every phase 2 and 3 trial a competitor runs in your indication.
• CROs and site networks: find recruiting studies near your sites and see which sponsors are active.
• Investors and analysts: monitor pipelines, completion dates and terminated trials.
• Medical writers, researchers and AI builders: build datasets for literature reviews and RAG.
• Patient advocacy groups: list recruiting trials for a condition by country.

2. Add filters such as status, phase, study type and "updated on or after".
3. Click Start and export to Excel, CSV or JSON. For daily monitoring, schedule it with Updated on or after set to yesterday's date.

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee per study returned, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 studies cost about $2. Searches with no matches and invalid NCT IDs are not charged. Set Max studies or Maximum cost per run to cap your spending.

Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack alerts. AI agents can call it through the Apify MCP server.
