Awwwards Scraper

Pull award-winning websites from Awwwards at scale — live site URL, high-res thumbnail, award tier, Awwwards score, style tags, detected tech stack, hex color palette, category, country, and the agency/designer credited for the build. Built for design studios, creative directors, and web-tech analysts who need a structured feed of the best sites on the web without clicking through Awwwards galleries one card at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Six award tiers, captured as a field — Site of the Day, Site of the Month, Developer Award, Honorable Mention, and Nominee status land in a dedicated award column, not buried in the title. Filter your run to any one of them or pull them all.
• 28 industry categories and 20 technology filters — narrow to E-Commerce, Portfolio, Fashion, or Real Estate, and to stacks like React, Next.js, Vue.js, Three.js, WebGL, GSAP, Webflow, Shopify, Framer, Svelte, TypeScript, Tailwind, Astro, and Lottie — no hand-built gallery URLs required.
• Detected tech stack per site — every detail-enriched award winner returns the technologies and tools it was built with, isolated from the mixed tag cloud so you get a genuine stack list (React, WebGL, GSAP…), not a jumble of style tags.
• Hex color palette on every scored site — the dominant colors are returned as ready-to-use #RRGGBB values, perfect for trend boards and palette research.
• Agency and designer credits — both the submitting author and the credited agency come through with names and Awwwards profile URLs, plus the author's PRO status, so a run doubles as a studio lead list.
• Live site URL, not just the Awwwards page — the actual external website is resolved and returned, alongside the full-resolution thumbnail and the Awwwards page URL.
• Awwwards score included — the official jury/community score (e.g. 8.42) is captured for scored and awarded entries so you can rank by quality.
• Mix filters or paste any gallery URL — build a search from award + category + technology + tag + country, or drop in a ready-made Awwwards gallery, collection, or single-site URL. Duplicates are removed automatically across every filter.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	["https://www.awwwards.com/websites/animation/"]	Paste one or more Awwwards URLs — gallery/collection pages or individual site pages. When supplied, the Search Filters below are ignored (each URL already carries its filters).

Search Filters

Applied only when startUrls is empty. Each selected category, technology, and tag is searched separately, then deduplicated by site.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
award	select	All sites	Recognition level: All sites, Sites of the Day (SOTD), Sites of the Month (SOTM), Developer Award, Honorable Mentions, or Nominees.
categories	string[]	[]	Filter by industry. 28 options including E-Commerce, Portfolio, Fashion, Real Estate, Technology, Photography, and Typography. Empty includes all.
technologies	string[]	[]	Filter by tech stack. 20 options: React, Next.js, Vue.js, Nuxt, Angular, Svelte, WebGL, Three.js, GSAP, Lottie, Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Figma, TypeScript, Tailwind, Vercel, Astro, and Gatsby. Empty includes all.
tags	string[]	[]	Filter by style/type tags such as animation, 3d, scrolling, dark, or minimal. Empty skips tag filtering.
country	string	""	Limit to one country of origin, e.g. United States, France, or Japan. Empty includes all.

Output Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
scrapeDetails	boolean	true	Follow each site to its Awwwards page for full data: description, score, award badge, complete tag and technology list, colors, and agency/designer credits. Turn off for a faster, lighter run with only the gallery summary fields.
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum sites to collect across all URLs and searches. Set to 0 for as many as possible. Start with 10-50 to test, then increase.

Tips for Best Results

• Filter to Site of the Day for fully-scored entries. Un-scored Nominees don't carry a score, tech stack, or color palette yet — pick award: sotd (or SOTM) when you need every quality field populated.
• Keep scrapeDetails on for the rich fields. Score, description, color palette, detected technologies, and agency credits come only from each site's detail page. Turn it off only when you want a fast gallery skim of titles, thumbnails, and live URLs.
• Combine a technology and a tag for precise inspiration boards. Pairing technologies: ["three-js"] with tags: ["3d"] surfaces exactly the immersive WebGL work most studios are researching.
• Start small, then scale. Set maxResults to 10-50 on your first run to confirm the filters match what you want, then raise it (or set 0 for everything available).
• Paste a gallery URL when you've already built a search on Awwwards. Any /websites/... or /collections/... URL works as a source — the scraper reads its filters directly, so you don't have to re-enter them.
• Each selected category and technology is its own search. Choosing three categories runs three searches and merges the results, deduplicated by site — a broad multi-category run is one click, not three separate jobs.
• Use country to build regional showcases. A single country value (e.g. Japan) tags the origin on every row, ideal for locale-specific creative research.
