UNHCR Refugee Data Scraper
Export official refugee, asylum-seeker, displacement, demographic, durable-solutions, UNRWA, and IDMC statistics from UNHCR's public Refugee Data Finder API. The Actor uses keyless first-party JSON, bounded pagination, and no browser or proxy.
What you get
- One normalized row per published country, year, population, demographic, or solutions record
- Origin and asylum country identifiers, population categories, totals, and source links
- Five selectable UNHCR datasets with consistent Apify JSON, CSV, and Excel exports
- A low-cost 256 MB HTTP workflow for scheduled research pipelines
Output fields
Fields vary by mode. Common fields include dataset, year, coo_id, coo_name, coa_id, coa_name, population measures, demographic dimensions, solutions measures, source_url, and source.
Example output
Input parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|

Use cases
Refugee dashboards, displacement trend analysis, humanitarian planning, newsroom research, country briefs, durable-solutions monitoring, and reproducible policy datasets.
Limitations
Coverage and dimensions differ by dataset and reporting year. Missing values are not zero, and published historical records may be revised. Country filters require UNHCR codes. The Actor exports official aggregate data but does not interpret protection status or provide legal advice.
Compared to alternatives
This Actor uses the official keyless API instead of browser scraping and starts at $2 per 1,000 saved records, with lower-volume tiers decreasing to $1 per 1,000. It supports five related datasets in one maintained integration. Try the UNHCR Refugee Data Scraper, browse all Thirdwatch Actors, or read the Thirdwatch UNHCR guide.
