GSMArena Phone Specs Scraper

Pull complete mobile phone specifications from GSMArena at scale — every spec sheet flattened into clean, structured data covering network bands, display, chipset, RAM, storage, cameras, battery, charging, build, sensors, and more. Search by keyword, pull a brand's full catalog, or paste GSMArena URLs directly. Built for phone-comparison site builders, price-tracking and e-commerce teams, market analysts tracking device launches, and ML teams who need a structured device-spec dataset without parsing GSMArena's spec tables by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• Three input modes in one actor — keyword search, full brand catalogs, and direct GSMArena URLs (phone, brand-listing, or search pages, auto-detected). Mix all three in a single run.
• 125 brands with full catalog pulls — Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Google, OnePlus, Nokia, Sony, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Honor, Asus, Nothing, and 110+ more, each expanding into its complete paginated phone catalog.
• ~28 promoted spec fields per phone — name, brand, announced date, release status, network technology, display size and resolution, OS, chipset, CPU, GPU, RAM, internal storage, main and selfie cameras, battery capacity, charging spec, dimensions, weight, build, SIM, colors, sensors, and SAR — all flattened to the top level for instant filtering.
• Complete structured spec sheet on every row — a nested specs object captures every GSMArena section: Network, Launch, Body, Display, Platform, Memory, Main Camera, Selfie Camera, Sound, Comms, Features, Battery, and Misc. Nothing on the page is left behind.
• Camera detail split out cleanly — separate mainCamera and selfieCamera module strings, plus the full per-lens breakdown inside the specs object.
• Battery and charging separated — battery carries the capacity and type, charging carries the wired and wireless charging spec — not mashed into one string.
• SAR values where GSMArena lists them — US and EU specific absorption rate figures combined on a single sar field for regulatory and comparison work.
• Batch hundreds of URLs at once — paste a whole list of phone, brand, and search URLs in one invocation; brand and search pages expand automatically into every phone they list.
• Clean dedupe by phone ID — overlapping brands, searches, and URLs never produce the same phone twice.

Getting Started

Pull a Brand's Catalog

The simplest run — one brand, the first 100 phones:

{
    "brands": ["Samsung"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

Search by Keyword

Each query runs independently and returns matching phones:

{
    "searchQueries": ["Galaxy S24", "iPhone 15"],
    "maxResults": 50
}

Batch GSMArena URLs

Paste phone, brand-listing, and search URLs together — the type is detected automatically:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s24-12773.php",
        "https://www.gsmarena.com/google-phones-107.php",
        "https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sQuickSearch=yes&sName=5000mAh+5G"
    ],
    "maxResults": 200
}

Full Multi-Brand Catalog

Combine brands and set maxResults to 0 to pull everything available:

{
    "brands": ["Apple", "Xiaomi", "OnePlus", "Nothing"],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Provide search queries, brands, GSMArena URLs, or any combination. At least one is required.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["Galaxy S24"]	Keywords to search on GSMArena, such as "Galaxy S24", "iPhone 15", or "5000mAh 5G". Each query runs independently and returns matching phones.
brands	string[]	[]	Phone brands to collect, one per line — for example Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Google, OnePlus, Motorola, Nokia, Sony, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Honor, Asus, Nothing. Any brand listed on GSMArena works. Each brand expands into its full phone catalog.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste GSMArena URLs directly. Supports a single phone, a brand page, or a search results page. The type is detected automatically — brand and search pages expand into all of their listed phones.

Results

How many phones to collect. Each phone is one result.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of phones to return across all queries, brands, and URLs combined. Set to 0 for unlimited (up to the site's own limits). Start with 10-50 to test, then increase.

Output

One flat record per phone. Every row carries recordType: "phone", the ~28 promoted top-level spec fields, and a complete nested specs object with every GSMArena section.

Tips for Best Results

• Use Brand mode for full catalogs. Search returns roughly 65 phones max per query (a single page), while Brand mode walks every paginated page of a brand's catalog. For a complete brand lineup, always use brands, not searchQueries.
• Set maxResults: 0 for a complete brand catalog. Unlimited mode pulls every phone the brand lists — pair it with a single brand to harvest the entire lineup in one run.
• Start small to test. Set maxResults to 10-50 on your first run to confirm the fields match your needs, then scale up.
• Combine inputs in one run. Mix brands, search queries, and URLs together — results are deduped by phone ID, so overlapping sources never double-count a device.
• Read the full spec sheet from specs. The top-level fields are convenience extracts; the nested specs object holds everything else (Sound, Comms, Features, and every per-section detail) for deeper analysis.
• Sub-brands route through search automatically. Names like Nubia, Poco, Redmi, and iQOO are not top-level GSMArena makers, so they fall back to keyword search — expect a single page of results rather than a full catalog for those.
• Paste brand-listing URLs to target an exact catalog. A URL like .../google-phones-107.php expands into every Google phone, giving you precise control without relying on brand-name matching.

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 results — flat pay-per-result. No compute charges — you only pay per result returned.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.10
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00
100,000	$100.00

A "result" is one phone row in the output dataset. One phone equals one result — opinions, galleries, and retailer prices are never expanded into extra rows. Platform fees (storage) are additional and depend on your Apify plan.

Integrations

• Zapier / Make / n8n — Workflow automation
• Google Sheets — Direct spreadsheet export
