Udemy Scraper — Courses, Prices, Ratings & Reviews

Udemy Scraper extracts Udemy courses and student reviews without a login or API key. For every course you get the current (sale) price, list price and discount, average and recent rating, number of reviews and students, instructors, total video hours, lectures, level, language, captions, last update, category, topics, what you'll learn, requirements and target audience. Find courses by topic keyword (e.g. python, excel, machine learning), category or subcategory URL, or paste course URLs, and filter by language, price, rating and level.

What you get

• Topic search: a keyword is matched to Udemy's topic (e.g. python -> Python, 2,000+ courses).
• Category and subcategory URLs (e.g. /courses/development/web-development/) and single course URLs.
• Filters: language, paid or free, minimum rating (3.0-4.5), level; sort by popularity, highest rated or newest.
• Live prices from Udemy's pricing service: current price, list price and discount %.
• Rich course details: rating distribution, recent rating, objectives, requirements, audience, captions, badges (Bestseller, Highest Rated, New).
• Student reviews with rating, text, date, reviewer display name and instructor response; option to keep only reviews with text.

How to use Udemy Scraper

1. Enter Topics (e.g. python) and/or paste Udemy URLs (topic, category, subcategory or course pages).
2. Set filters (language, price, rating, level), the sort order and Max courses per topic/URL.
3. Choose What to save: courses, reviews or both.
4. Run and export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or send to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/udemy-scraper-courses-prices-reviews" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Or in a JSON MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {

FAQ

Do I need a Udemy account?

No. The Actor reads the same public data udemy.com shows to logged-out visitors.

Why topics instead of free-text search?

Udemy's keyword search page is protected and changes often, so many scrapers return nothing. The Actor maps your keyword to Udemy's matching topic page (the closest Udemy topic), which lists the same courses reliably. Paste a topic or category URL for exact control.

Which price is returned?

price is what a US visitor pays now (often a sale price); originalPrice is the list price; discountPercent is the difference. Prices are in USD.

How many reviews can I get?

Up to 10,000 per course (Udemy's limit), newest first. Turn on 'Only reviews with text' to skip rating-only reviews.

Is personal data collected?

Only the reviewer display name Udemy shows publicly next to each review. No emails or profiles.

Is it legal to scrape this data?

The Actor collects publicly available information only and does not log in or bypass access controls. Use the data in line with the website's terms and the laws that apply to you, especially when processing personal data.
