DesignRush Agencies Directory Scraper

Scrape DesignRush agency listings by category, location, and budget, up to a million per run. Every agency comes with its name, rating, reviews, hourly rate, and contact details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

DesignRush's directory is a goldmine of B2B agency leads, but manually copying listings is slow and error-prone. This Actor reads the public agency pages directly, filtered by category, location, and minimum budget, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It is built for lead generation, market research, and competitive analysis.

Who uses itWhat they scrape DesignRush for
B2B lead generation teamsBuild a clean list of agencies that match their ideal client profile
Market researchersTrack which agencies are listed in a niche and how they position themselves
Sales development repsPull fresh agency contacts for outreach campaigns
Competitive intelligence analystsMonitor new agency listings and rating changes over time

What it does

This Actor collects DesignRush agency listings by category, location, and budget, and returns each agency as a flat row with its profile details.

  • πŸ” Category filter: scrape a single DesignRush category slug, like web-design-companies.
  • πŸ“ Location filter: narrow results to a city or region.
  • πŸ’° Budget filter: only return agencies that accept projects above a minimum USD budget.
  • βš™οΈ Max items control: set a hard cap from 1 to 1,000,000 agencies per run.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the category slug is correct and exists on DesignRush. Also verify that your location and budget filters are not too restrictive.

The run stops before reaching maxItems.

The Actor stops when it has collected maxItems or when there are no more agencies in the category. If you expected more, try removing the location or budget filter.

Some fields are empty in the output.

Not every agency lists all details on DesignRush. Empty fields mean the information was not available on the public page.

The Actor is slow.

The Actor respects DesignRush's rate limits to avoid being blocked. For large runs, consider increasing the timeout or running during off-peak hours.

I get an error about the category slug.

Make sure you are using the slug from the URL, not the full URL. For example, use web-design-companies, not https://www.designrush.com/agency/web-design-companies.
