🚴 ProCyclingStats Scraper: Results, Startlists, Teams & Rankings

ProCyclingStats Scraper extracts race and stage results by race name and year or by URL, startlists, team rosters, rider profiles with specialty points, and seven PCS and UCI ranking tables. Choose winner only, final classification or every stage, export CSV, Excel, JSON or XML. No login, no API key. Verified 2026-10-10. Race results cost $0.02 per row on the free tier; startlist and team roster riders cost $0.005 each.

The ProCyclingStats Scraper turns procyclingstats.com, the reference statistics site for professional road cycling, into spreadsheets and API-ready JSON. ProCyclingStats sits behind a Cloudflare gate that blocks ordinary scrapers, so this actor uses a browser-grade TLS client with Apify residential proxy by default. In our cloud test, Paris-Roubaix 2025 with winner only returned exactly one row.

🔎 What does the ProCyclingStats Scraper do?

• Scrape ProCyclingStats race results by name: give raceName and year and pick resultScope: winnersOnly (1 row), finalClassification, stageWinners or allStages. Stage races also take a classification (GC, points, mountains, youth) or a single stage. Or paste race, stage, startlist, team, rider and ranking URLs in raceUrls.
• Download startlists: riders with bib, nationality, team and team class. The 2025 Tour de France startlist returned 184 riders.
• Download team rosters and rider profiles: age, specialty, PCS rank, career points, team wins and ranks; birth data, height, weight and specialty points, from slugs, URLs or plain names.
• Download seven ranking tables: PCS riders, teams and nations, UCI riders and teams, women PCS and UCI riders, with an optional nation filter and up to 2,500 rows.
• Mix modules in one run, capped in total by maxItems.

Not available at the source: a ranking at a past date (PCS ignores the date parameter) and the UCI nations table (it is empty).

📊 What data can you extract from ProCyclingStats?

The dataset schema has 55 fields and six views (overview, results, startlist, team roster, riders, rankings). Rows carry only keys that have a value. The main ones:

Field	Applies to	Example
recordType	all	race-result, startlist, team-rider, rider, ranking
race, year, raceClass	results, startlist	race name, season, class such as 2.UWT
classification, stage, stageName, date	results	gc, 5, route, ISO date
distanceKm, parcoursType, verticalMeters, avgSpeedKmh	results	stage profile data
rank, status, gcRank	results	integer rank; status Finished, DNF, DNS, OTL, DSQ, DF
rider, riderSlug, bib	results, startlist, roster	rider name, PCS slug, start number
nationalityCode, nationality	results, startlist, rider	2-letter code, country name
team, teamSlug, teamClass	results, startlist	team, slug with season, WT or PRT or CT
age, specialty	results, roster	age in race year, PCS specialty
uciPoints, pcsPoints, classificationPoints	results	points won in the race
time, timeSeconds, timeBehind, gapSeconds	results	3:07:30, gap text and numeric twins
dateOfBirth, placeOfBirth, weightKg, heightM	rider	profile data
specialtyPoints, pcsRank, allTimeRank	rider	object with Oneday, GC, TT, Sprint, Climber, Hills
rankingPoints, careerPoints, teamWins, teamPoints, teamPcsRank, teamUciRank	roster	snapshot at the scrape date
previousRank, rankChange, points, nation, nationSlug	ranking	decimals kept, such as 10331.8
url, raceUrl, scrapedAt	all	source page and ISO timestamp

If PCS does not show a value, the key is left out (no "N/A" placeholders). rank is always an integer; riders who did not finish have no rank and a status instead. A rider or team PCS does not know returns one free error row. Roster rank and points are a snapshot at the scrape date.

🧾 Sample output

Trimmed rows from earlier cloud runs.

Race result row (Tour de France 2025, stage 21):

{
  "recordType": "race-result",
  "raceUrl": "https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-france/2025/stage-21",
  "rank": 1,
  "rider": "van Aert Wout",
  "riderSlug": "wout-van-aert",
  "team": "Team Visma | Lease a Bike",
  "age": 30,
  "uciPoints": 210,
  "time": "3:07:30",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-04T03:59:14.626Z"
}

Rider profile row:

{
  "recordType": "rider",
  "rider": "Tadej Pogačar",
  "riderSlug": "tadej-pogacar",
  "nationality": "Slovenia",
  "weightKg": "66",
  "heightM": "1.76",
  "specialtyPoints": { "Oneday": 9983, "GC": 8344, "TT": 3747, "Sprint": 297, "Climber": 11052, "Hills": 4654 },
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-04T04:00:46.843Z"
}

💰 How much does it cost to scrape ProCyclingStats?

Pay-per-event pricing, live prices on the free plan tier; paid Apify plans pay less per race result row (down to $0.01667).

Event	Price	What counts
Race result row	$0.02	one classified rider, or one stage winner
Rider profile	$0.02	one rider profile
Ranking row	$0.01	one ranking position, any of the seven tables
Startlist rider	$0.005	one rider entered in a race startlist
Team roster rider	$0.005	one rider of a team season roster

Worked example on the free tier: 1,000 race result rows cost 1,000 x $0.02 = $20.00, 1,000 rider profiles cost $20.00, and 1,000 ranking rows cost 1,000 x $0.01 = $10.00. A Paris-Roubaix 2025 winner-only run is one row, $0.02. The 2025 Tour de France startlist (184 riders) costs 184 x $0.005 = $0.92, and a 30-rider team roster costs 30 x $0.005 = $0.15. You are not billed for error rows, unknown races or riders, empty results or a run that fails. A request budget (10 requests before the first row, then 3 per delivered row) stops runs that find nothing.

🚀 How to scrape ProCyclingStats in 3 steps

1. Open the actor on Apify. Type a race name and a season, or paste race, startlist, team or rider URLs.
2. Pick a result scope, an optional ranking table, and set maxItems.
3. Click Start, then download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.

An empty input returns the Paris-Roubaix 2025 winner (1 row).

⚙️ ProCyclingStats Scraper input

Field	Type	Default	Description
raceName	string	empty	Race by name, for example Paris-Roubaix
year	integer	latest	Season of the race
resultScope	string	finalClassification	winnersOnly, finalClassification, stageWinners, allStages
classification	string	gc	Stage race: gc, points, kom, youth
stage	integer	0	One stage of a stage race (0 is off)
raceContent	string	results	results or startlist
raceUrls	list	empty	Race, stage, startlist, team, rider or ranking URLs
teamUrls	list	empty	Team URLs, slugs with season, or names
riderUrls	list	empty	Rider slugs, URLs or plain names
rankingType	string	none	Seven PCS and UCI tables
rankingNation	string	empty	2-letter nation code filter
maxRankingRows	integer	100	Ranking positions to keep, up to 2500
maxItems	integer	10	Total row cap (free users: 10)
proxyConfiguration, includeRankings	object, boolean	residential, false	Proxy settings; legacy PCS riders ranking switch

{
  "raceName": "Paris-Roubaix",
  "year": 2025,
  "resultScope": "winnersOnly",
  "riderUrls": ["tadej-pogacar", "Wout van Aert"],
  "rankingType": "uci-individual",
  "maxRankingRows": 50,
  "maxItems": 200
}

Name lookup uses an alias list, a slug guess and, only if both miss, one PCS search (at most 6 requests). raceUrls now defaults to an empty list; it used to scrape Tour de France stage 21 in every run.

📦 ProCyclingStats Scraper output

Results go to the default dataset, with six table views in the Output tab. Download as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. If a race, rider or team does not exist, the run still succeeds with one free error row or a "Finished with 0 results" message and nothing is charged. If ProCyclingStats blocks every request, the run fails with a message instead of reporting success.

⚖️ ProCyclingStats Scraper vs alternatives

Read on 2026-10-10:

	This actor	trovevault	lexis-solutions
Race by name and year	Yes, plus URLs	Yes, dropdown or custom name	Not stated; URLs only
Result scopes	Winner, final, stage winners, all stages	Winners, classifications, stages, full race	Not stated in their listing
Startlists, rosters, rankings	Yes, seven ranking tables	Not stated in their listing	Pages by URL, columns vary
Output	55 typed fields, 6 views	17 fields	Rows keyed by page headers
Price per 1,000 rows	$20 Free tier, $16.67 top tier	From $0.85	From $6.40

trovevault covers race results by name with a rank cap and is far cheaper per row; its listing shows no startlists, team rosters, rider profiles or ranking tables. lexis-solutions reads any PCS page you paste, with columns that depend on the page. We cost roughly 20 times trovevault on result rows, so if you only need results by race name at the lowest price, it may fit you better. What the extra buys here: startlists, rosters, rider specialty points, seven rankings and typed columns. The crawlerbros listing returned a 404 on 2026-10-10, so it is not compared.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape ProCyclingStats?

The actor reads publicly visible race and rider statistics and does not log in or bypass paywalls. You are responsible for using the data in line with the site's terms and with local rules such as GDPR for personal data. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with ProCyclingStats.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How do I export ProCyclingStats results to CSV or Excel?

Type a race name and season, such as Paris-Roubaix and 2025, or paste the race or stage result URL into the raceUrls field of ProCyclingStats Scraper, then click Start. When the run finishes, open the Storage tab and download the dataset as CSV or Excel. JSON and XML are also available, as is the Apify API. Each classified rider becomes one row.

Does ProCyclingStats block scrapers?

Yes. procyclingstats.com sits behind a Cloudflare TLS check that blocks ordinary scrapers. ProCyclingStats Scraper uses a Firefox-grade TLS client with a session warm-up and the Apify residential proxy on by default, and this worked in our cloud runs. Keep the default proxy enabled.

Which ProCyclingStats races work with the scraper?

Any race ProCyclingStats lists works in ProCyclingStats Scraper: grand tours, one-day classics and national championships. Give the race name and season, or paste a URL such as a Paris-Roubaix 2025 page. Races with no classification yet return no rows and no charge.

What does the time column mean in ProCyclingStats Scraper output?

The time field is shown as on procyclingstats.com, such as 3:07:30, with the accumulated time on GC rows. The gap to the leader sits in timeBehind, with numeric twins timeSeconds and gapSeconds for sorting. If PCS shows no time for a rider, the key is left out of the row.

How are DNF and DNS riders shown by ProCyclingStats Scraper?

Through the status column, so no rider silently disappears from the classification. In ProCyclingStats Scraper, finishers have status Finished and an integer rank, while DNF, DNS, OTL, DSQ and DF riders have no rank and carry that status instead. Rank is always a number when present.

Why did ProCyclingStats Scraper return 0 results?

Either the URL does not exist or the race has no classification yet. ProCyclingStats Scraper then ends the run as succeeded with the status message "Finished with 0 results" and charges nothing. Check the URL in a browser and try again once PCS has published the classification.

Why did my ProCyclingStats Scraper run fail?

When every request to procyclingstats.com is blocked or fails, ProCyclingStats Scraper marks the run as failed with a message instead of reporting an empty success, and nothing is charged. Keep the residential proxy enabled in the input and retry. A single bad URL does not fail the run if other URLs delivered rows.

Do I pay for rows that failed in ProCyclingStats Scraper?

No. Error rows, not-found rows and empty results are never billed by ProCyclingStats Scraper. You pay only for race result rows ($0.02 each on the free tier), rider profiles ($0.02), ranking rows ($0.01), startlist riders ($0.005) and team roster riders ($0.005) that were actually delivered, and the run stops cleanly at your maximum charge limit.

How many rows can one ProCyclingStats Scraper run return?

Up to 1,000,000 rows on paid Apify plans, set through the maxItems field, which caps the total across all modules, so a mixed run of results and rankings shares one limit. Free Apify users are limited to 10 rows per run in ProCyclingStats Scraper.

Do I need an API key or login for ProCyclingStats Scraper?

No. ProCyclingStats Scraper reads publicly visible race and rider statistics from procyclingstats.com and does not log in or bypass paywalls, so you do not need a PCS account or API key. You only need an Apify account, which includes the residential proxy.
