Liquipedia Esports Wiki Scraper

Liquipedia Esports Wiki Scraper

Scrape esports wiki pages from any Liquipedia game, from tournament brackets to player profiles, up to a million per run. Every page returns its full parsed HTML, infobox data, and wiki metadata. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Liquipedia is the definitive wiki for competitive esports, but manually copying tournament results, team rosters, or player stats across dozens of game wikis is slow and error-prone. This Actor reads public wiki pages directly, letting you pull structured data from any of 24 supported game wikis by exact page name or by crawling an entire category like Tournaments or Teams. You get clean, parsed HTML and metadata in one consistent schema, ready for analysis or archival.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the page name uses underscores or spaces exactly as it appears in the Liquipedia URL. For categories, ensure the prefix 'Category:' is included, like 'Category:Tournaments'. Also verify the game wiki selection matches the page you want.

The Actor returns a page but the HTML looks empty or incomplete.

Some Liquipedia pages use heavy JavaScript for tables and brackets. The Actor captures the server-rendered HTML. If content is missing, it may be loaded dynamically and require a browser-based scraper instead.

My run is taking too long or timing out.

Lower the maximum pages setting or disable the parsed HTML field. Large category crawls with full HTML on every page can be slow. Consider breaking the work into smaller runs by subcategory.

I get an error about an invalid page name.

Page names are case-sensitive and must match the wiki exactly. Visit the Liquipedia page in your browser, copy the title from the URL, and paste it into the Page Name field.

The category filter returns pages I did not expect.

Liquipedia categories can include subcategories and related pages. Review the category page on the wiki to see exactly which pages are listed before running a large crawl.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Which games does this scraper support?	It supports 24 Liquipedia game wikis: League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, StarCraft (Brood War), StarCraft 2, Valorant, Rocket League, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Rainbow Six, Smash, Warcraft, Call of Duty, Halo, Age of Empires, PUBG, Free Fire, Mobile Legends, Wild Rift, Hearthstone, Magic: The Gathering, EA Sports FC, and Rocket Arena.
Can I scrape a single player or team page?	Yes. Set the game wiki and enter the exact page name, like 'Faker' or 'Sentinels', in the Page Name field. The Actor will return that one page with its full parsed HTML.
How do I scrape all tournaments for a game?	Select the game wiki and set the Category Filter to 'Category:Tournaments'. The Actor will enumerate every page in that category, up to the maximum you set.
Does this return structured data like player names and prize pools?	The Actor returns the full parsed HTML body of each page. You can parse infoboxes, tables, and text from that HTML using your own extraction logic or a downstream tool.
What format does the output come in?	You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform.
Is there a rate limit or do I need an API key?	No API key or registration is required. The Actor reads public wiki pages directly. You control the volume with the max pages setting.
Can I scrape multiple game wikis in one run?	Each run targets one game wiki at a time. To scrape multiple games, run the Actor once per game wiki, either sequentially or in parallel.
What is the difference between Page Name and Category Filter?	Page Name fetches one specific wiki page by its exact title. Category Filter enumerates every page inside a category. If you provide both, Page Name takes priority.
Does the scraper follow links to subpages?	No. It collects the pages directly listed in the category or the single page you name. It does not recursively follow links from the page body.
How large can the parsed HTML be?	Large tournament pages with many brackets and tables can produce big records. You can disable the parsed HTML field by setting Include Parsed HTML to false for faster, lighter catalog runs.
