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 it | What they scrape DesignRush for |
|---|---|
| B2B lead generation teams | Build a clean list of agencies that match their ideal client profile |
| Market researchers | Track which agencies are listed in a niche and how they position themselves |
| Sales development reps | Pull fresh agency contacts for outreach campaigns |
| Competitive intelligence analysts | Monitor new agency listings and rating changes over time |

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.
