Qwant Search Scraper

What does Qwant Search Scraper do?

Qwant Search Scraper extracts public organic web results from Qwant (qwant.com). Paste a web search URL and export rank, title, result URL, display URL, snippet, and query metadata.

No Qwant account and no coding. Run it on the Apify platform to schedule crawls, export JSON, CSV, or Excel, and pull results through the API.

Why scrape Qwant search results?

Qwant is a European privacy-oriented search engine with its own ranking and snippet mix. SEO teams, agencies, and researchers use it to see how a query looks outside Google and Bing.

• Privacy SERP tracking — Store organic ranks for branded and non-branded queries on Qwant.
• Share-of-voice — Compare which domains appear for a keyword on a privacy search engine.
• Snippet research — Capture titles and descriptions Qwant actually shows.
• Engine comparison — Check how Qwant results differ from Google or Bing.
• Content gaps — Find pages that rank on Qwant but not in your own list.
• Monitoring — Schedule the Actor and diff datasets over time.
• Reporting — Feed rank, URL, and snippet into Sheets, Looker, or a rank-tracking warehouse.

How to scrape Qwant Search

1. Open Qwant Search Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more start URLs. The default is https://www.qwant.com/?q=paris&t=web.
3. Set Maximum items (results per start URL). Use a small number for a test, then raise it for a full export.
4. Run the Actor and download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Copy the URL from Qwant after you type a query on the Web tab (t=web) and paste it into Start URLs.

What data can you extract from Qwant Search?

Field	Description

How much does it cost to scrape Qwant Search?

The Actor opens the public Qwant results page in a real browser (results are rendered client-side). You pay for each result saved to the dataset (pay per result), plus compute for the short browser run. A test with the default maximum of 5 results usually finishes in well under a minute.

You can schedule runs, send results to Google Sheets or webhooks, and call the Actor through the Apify API. The same dataset is available as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Input

Start URLs, Maximum items (per start URL), and proxy configuration. See the Input tab for the form.

Supported start URLs:

• Search: https://www.qwant.com/?q=paris&t=web
• Other queries: https://www.qwant.com/?q=privacy+search&t=web

maxItems applies per start URL. Two queries with a maximum of 20 can return up to 40 results.

Proxy

Proxy is off by default. If a run reports that Qwant blocked it, enable Apify Proxy (RESIDENTIAL) in the proxy configuration and run again.

Output

You can download the dataset extracted by Qwant Search Scraper in JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Qwant Search?

This Actor collects public search result cards shown on Qwant web search. It does not log in and it does not collect account or private mailbox data. Use the data only when you have a legitimate reason, and get advice if you are unsure.

Do I need a Qwant account?

No. The Actor reads public search results only.

Why are some snippets empty?

Qwant does not always show a description for every result. Empty snippet fields are expected for those rows.

Can I export more than one page?

Yes. Raise Maximum items above 10. The Actor loads more results the same way Display more results does on Qwant, until it reaches the limit or Qwant has no more organic results. Qwant often shows only 10–20 organic web results per query (later pages are mostly news, videos, and related searches), so large limits may return fewer rows.

Why did my run return no results?

Qwant’s bot protection blocked the run. Try again, or enable Apify Proxy (RESIDENTIAL) in the proxy configuration.

Where can I get help?

Open the Issues tab on the Actor page if a URL returns nothing or a field looks wrong.
