Sortlist Agency Scraper

Unofficial. This Actor is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected to Sortlist. "Sortlist" is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe what this tool reads. It reads the same public listing pages a browser does.

Collects agencies from Sortlist's public directory listings (sortlist.com) as one row per agency: website, offices, rating, review count, team size, languages, services, budget range and awards, ready for a spreadsheet or a CRM import.

What does it do?

Opens Sortlist listing pages such as https://www.sortlist.com/s/web-application/belgium-be for every service and country you name, walks each listing to its last page and returns one row per agency. An agency found in several listings is returned once.

Why use it?

• The whole listing, not the first page. One request returns up to 100 agencies, and the Actor follows the site's own pagination until the listing ends. Belgium "Web Application" is 471 agencies in 6 requests.
• Numbers as numbers. Rating, review count, team size, works count and budget range come as numeric fields, not as page text.
• Filters the site does not offer. Minimum rating, minimum reviews, minimum team size, language and office city are applied after the fetch.
• No proxy needed. Plain page requests worked on Apify's platform in testing (25 of 25 listing pages, with and without datacenter proxy).

How to use it

1. Set services (for example web-application, branding, marketing) and countries (for example belgium-be, germany-de). Every service is searched in every country. Or paste full listing addresses into listingUrls.
2. Optionally set minRating, minReviews, minTeamSize, languages or locationContains.
3. Set maxItems and run. Download JSON, CSV or Excel from the dataset.

Input

Field	Type	Description
services	array	Service slugs from sortlist.com/s/<service>/<country>, such as web-application, branding, web-design, marketing, software-development, cloud-computing.
countries	array	Country slugs <country>-<code>, such as belgium-be, germany-de, france-fr, switzerland-ch.
listingUrls	array	Full https://www.sortlist.com/s/<service>/<country> addresses, used in addition to the two fields above.
minRating	number	Minimum client rating out of 5. Agencies without reviews have no rating and are dropped when this is set.
minReviews	integer	Minimum number of client reviews.
minTeamSize	integer	Minimum team size the agency states.
languages	array	Keep agencies working in any of these languages (en, fr, nl, de). nl-BE counts as nl.
locationContains	string	Keep agencies with an office whose English place text contains this, ignoring case and accents (for example Antwerp).
maxItems	integer	Most agencies to return across all listings.
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional. The default uses no proxy.

Sample input

{
    "services": ["web-application"],
    "countries": ["belgium-be"],
    "minRating": 4.5,
    "maxItems": 20
}

Output

Each row holds id, url, name, tagline, description, website, logo, locations, languages, teamSize, registrationNumber, registrationCountry, rating, reviewsCount, recentRecommendedReviews, worksCount, serviceWorksCount, serviceBudgetMin, serviceBudgetMax, budgetMin, budgetMax, services, sectors, awards, topAwarded, trustedPartner, verified, claimed, sponsored, updatedAt, searchService, search and scrapedAt.

• rating is the client score out of 5, worked out as the site's review total divided by its review count times 5, to two decimals. The site shows it cut to one decimal. It is empty for an agency without reviews.
• serviceWorksCount, serviceBudgetMin and serviceBudgetMax describe the listing that returned the agency first. worksCount, budgetMin, budgetMax and services describe the agency as a whole.
• Budgets are shown in euros on the Belgium, Germany and Switzerland listings that were checked. Other markets were not checked, so confirm the currency before relying on it. A budget is empty when the agency gave none, and many agencies show 1000000 as the upper end: the site does not say what that value means.
• url is the agency's Sortlist profile page. The Actor does not open it. The listing data has no e-mail or phone field; website is the contact route it gives. Some agencies write an e-mail address into their own description (19 of 1,000 in a 2026-10-21 run), and it ships as written there.

Sample output

One real row from the Belgium "Web Application" listing, with the description, services and sectors shortened:

Limits

• Only listings of the form https://www.sortlist.com/s/<service>/<country> are read. Other Sortlist address shapes (/i/..., or /<service>/<city>), agency profile pages and the site's /api/ paths are not read.
• A service or country the site does not know is skipped with a warning in the log. The same service can be missing in one country and present in another. When the site moves a listing to a differently named page, the Actor follows it only if the new page is also a /s/ listing.
• The country slug must be the site's own. united-states-us and united-kingdom-gb have no /s/ listing.
• Rating, review and budget numbers are reported as the site shows them. No review text is collected.

How much does it cost to scrape Sortlist?

Pay-per-event: $0.001 per agency saved to the dataset ($1.00 per 1,000 agencies), plus $0.00005 charged once when the run starts. No subscription. The rating, review, team-size, language and location filters run before a row is saved, so agencies they drop are not charged.

Privacy and compliance

Rows carry public directory data: agency names, websites, office places, registration numbers the agency published, awards and review counts. Nothing behind a login is read. Sortlist's terms of use restrict scraping and copying of profiles; you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the site's terms and applicable law.
