Pricing

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-use compute model. Costs depend on run duration and proxy usage.

Volume	Estimated Cost
50 trails	~$0.25
500 trails	~$2.5
5,000 trails	~$25

All requests go directly to the AllTrails Algolia API — no browser rendering required, which keeps compute costs very low. Costs may increase slightly if Apify proxy is enabled.

New Apify accounts include a free $5 monthly credit , enough for thousands of trail records.

FAQ

Is scraping AllTrails legal?

Scraping publicly available data is generally permitted for personal and research use. This Actor only accesses publicly visible trail data — no login or private data is involved. Review AllTrails' Terms of Service and consult a legal professional for commercial use cases.

Does this Actor require proxies?

No. It runs without proxies by default. If you experience rate limiting or blocks during large runs, enable Apify Proxy in the input settings.

Can I schedule automatic runs?

Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to run the Actor daily, weekly or on a custom cron schedule.

Can I export results to CSV or Excel?

Yes. After a run completes, download results in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or JSONL from the Apify dataset view.

How many trails can I scrape per run?

Set the maxItems input up to 1,000. For larger volumes, run multiple times with different coordinates or cities.

Does it work for trails outside the US?

Yes. AllTrails covers trails worldwide. Use coordinates or city search for any country.

Can I scrape a specific trail by URL?

Yes. Paste any AllTrails trail URL into the Start URLs field to get full data for that exact trail.

How much does it cost?

A typical run of 50–100 trails costs a few cents. New Apify accounts get $5 free monthly credit.

What if AllTrails changes their website?

This Actor queries the AllTrails internal Algolia API directly, which is more stable than HTML scraping. If the API changes, the Actor will be updated.

Can I use this through the Apify API?

Yes. Trigger runs, fetch results and integrate with other systems via the Apify REST API.

Does it return trail photos?

Yes. The images field contains an array of photo URLs for each trail.

Can I filter by trail length or rating?

Yes. Use minLength, maxLength and minRating input fields to narrow results.

How to Scrape AllTrails Data Without Coding

Open the Actor on Apify, fill in the location and filter fields using the visual form, and click Start. No code required. Results appear in the dataset tab and can be downloaded in any format. The entire process takes under a minute for most searches.

---

AllTrails API Alternative

AllTrails does not offer a public API for bulk data access. This Actor fills that gap by querying the AllTrails internal search infrastructure and returning the same structured data in a format ready for spreadsheets, databases and applications.

---

How Much Does It Cost to Scrape AllTrails?

Because this Actor uses direct API calls rather than a browser, compute consumption is minimal. A run of 100 trails typically costs less than $0.05. Heavy users running thousands of records per day will spend a few dollars monthly at most.

---

Export AllTrails Data to CSV or Excel

After each run, open the Dataset tab in Apify, click Export and choose your format: CSV, Excel, JSON or XML. You can also fetch the dataset programmatically using the Apify API for automated pipelines.

---

Automate AllTrails Data Collection

Use Apify's scheduler to run the Actor on a recurring schedule — for example, refreshing trail data for a region every week. Combine with webhooks or the Apify API to push fresh data directly into your database, Google Sheets or BI tool automatically.
