Worldometer Data Scraper
Scrape real-time world statistics from Worldometer, from population and health to cars and COVID-19 data. Every record returns the latest counter value, timestamp, and category in a flat, analysis-ready row. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Worldometer publishes live counters for global population, government spending, health, and the environment, but the data is spread across dozens of pages and not available as a bulk download. This Actor reads the public counters directly from any section you choose and returns each one in a consistent schema, so you can track changes over time without manual copying.\n\nRun it on a schedule to build your own time-series dataset of world statistics.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Worldometer for |
|---|---|
| Data journalists | Fact-checking a live population or health statistic for a story. |
| Researchers and academics | Building a longitudinal dataset of world demographic indicators. |
| Educators | Grabbing the latest world population or CO2 emissions for a classroom dashboard. |
| NGO analysts | Monitoring public health or environmental counters for a report. |
What it does
This Actor collects real-time counter values from Worldometer sections and returns each counter as a flat row with its name, numeric value, and category.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the selected section has counters available. The Worldometer page structure may have changed; try running the All counters option to see which sections return data.
The counter values look different from the website.
Worldometer counters update continuously. A slight difference between the scraped value and the live page is expected due to the time between the HTTP request and your viewing.
The run fails with a timeout.
Worldometer pages can be slow to load. Increase the Actor's timeout in the run settings, or reduce the maxItems to limit the number of pages visited.
Some counters are missing from the dataset.
Worldometer occasionally adds or removes counters. The Actor returns whatever is present on the page at the time of the run. Try running again later.
Can I scrape a section not listed in the dropdown?
The Actor supports the five sections listed. If you need a different Worldometer page, contact the developer with the URL for a possible update.
