Udemy Course Scraper 🎓

What does Udemy Course Scraper do?

Udemy Course Scraper collects structured course data from Udemy search results. Add a Udemy search URL or a keyword, choose how many courses you want, and the Actor returns course titles, URLs, instructors, prices, ratings, review counts, images, duration, lectures, levels, badges, and learning outcomes.

Use it for course market research, competitor tracking, pricing analysis, content catalog building, learning trend monitoring, and AI or RAG workflows that need clean Udemy course datasets.
