Sortlist Scraper & API - Marketing & IT Agency Leads

This Sortlist scraper turns sortlist.com, the agency marketplace used across Europe and the US, into clean B2B lead lists of agencies: give it a Sortlist directory such as Advertising agencies in the United States, SEO agencies in Paris or Digital marketing agencies and get one row per agency with website, team size, minimum budget, founding year, revenue, full address with GPS, every office, services with budgets, industries, languages, social links, awards, rating and client reviews, as JSON, CSV or Excel. Use it as a Sortlist API, an agency directory scraper, a marketing agency lead list builder for partnerships, white-label and SaaS sales, or a Clutch / GoodFirms alternative data source from your own code, Make, Zapier or n8n.

It reads the public directory and agency pages over plain HTTP, with no headless browser and no login. 450 agencies with agency-page details take under two minutes, and it costs $0.75 per 1,000 agencies with details included and no start fee, the lowest price of any Sortlist scraper on the Store.

How to use

1. Open sortlist.com, pick a service and a place (e.g. Advertising > United States, or SEO > Paris) and copy the URL into Sortlist directory URLs. Service-only pages (/digital-marketing), country, state and city pages, and the local sites (sortlist.fr, .be, .de, .es, .it, .nl, .ch) all work.
2. Set Max agencies per directory (0 = the whole directory).
3. Keep Open each agency page on for founding year, revenue, offices, social links, awards and reviews.
4. Optionally filter: only agencies with a website, a minimum rating or number of reviews, a team size range, or a minimum project budget.
5. Click Start and download the leads from the Output tab, or fetch them through the Apify API.

The dataset has four views: Leads, Profile, Reviews and Directory order. The RUN_SUMMARY record lists per directory how many agencies Sortlist has, how many were saved, how many your filters skipped and why each directory stopped, plus any URL that returned nothing.

Integrations

• Our Website Contact Extractor: Sortlist does not publish e-mails or phones; pass the website column to collect them from each agency site.
• Our Capterra Reviews and YellowPages scrapers: software reviews and local business leads in the same flat format.
• Make, Zapier and n8n: run the actor and push the leads to your CRM, a mailing tool or Slack.
• Google Sheets: export the dataset straight to a spreadsheet.
• Apify API: start runs and download results over REST, or with the JavaScript and Python clients.
• MCP for AI agents: the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents call this Sortlist scraper as a tool.

• Revenue, founding year, awards and the AI summary appear only when the agency publishes them, and need scrapeDetails on.
• Reviews come from the agency page (up to 50 per agency).
• Results come in Sortlist's own order.

FAQ

Does Sortlist have an official API? Not a public, self-serve one for its agency directory (its /api/ paths are also closed to crawlers in robots.txt). This actor works as a Sortlist API: start it over REST or from Make, Zapier or n8n and get JSON back.

How much does a typical run cost? $0.75 per 1,000 agencies. The 20-agency demo costs $0.015, a 100-agency city directory $0.075 and a 3,600-agency country directory about $2.70, agency-page details included.

Does it need a browser, cookies or a Sortlist account? No. Plain HTTPS requests to the public pages, no login.

Which proxy should I use? None: leave the default. The actor connects directly and retries any blocked request through Apify Proxy automatically.

Is scraping Sortlist legal? The actor reads only public directory and agency pages that robots.txt allows (it never touches search queries, embeds or review submission pages). You are responsible for how you use the data, including reviewers' names under GDPR.

How do I find the right directory URL? On sortlist.com pick a service, then a country or city in the location filter, and copy the address bar.
