Behance Scraper — Designers, Projects & Portfolios

Find designers and other creatives on Behance and export them as clean leads: name, profile URL, occupation, company, city and country, creative fields, tools (Figma, Photoshop, Blender...), followers, appreciations, project views, available for freelance / full-time flags, website and social links, work history, education and languages. Search people or projects by keyword and filter by country, state, city, creative field, tool and availability, scrape a profile with its whole portfolio, get full project pages, or list the Behance job board.

No login, no cookies, no browser: the Actor reads the same public JSON Behance's own web app loads for logged-out visitors, 48 people or projects per request. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API into your CRM, Google Sheets or an LLM pipeline. You pay per item you get.

Built for recruiters, agencies and studios looking for designers, and for anyone tracking creative work on Behance.

How to find designers on Behance by location, tool and availability

Choose People, type what the person does (logo designer, ui ux designer, 3d artist) and set Country plus City or State / region. Add a Creative field (Branding, UI/UX, Illustration, ...) and a Tool (Figma, Blender, Adobe Illustrator, ...) to narrow it down, and Available for hire to keep only creatives open to freelance or full-time work. Sort by Most followed or Most appreciated to start with the best-known people. A search goes up to 10,000 people deep. School keeps only people whose profile lists that school in their education (Behance has no school search, so it is checked on each profile; put the school name in the search term too).

How to scrape a Behance portfolio and its projects

Paste a profile URL (behance.net/<username>): you get the profile item (with the "About me" text, work history, social links) and every project of the portfolio, newest first, with appreciations, views, comments, fields and tools. Turn off Include projects of profile URLs to get just the profile, or use Max results per search / URL to take, say, the 20 newest projects of each creative. Project URLs (behance.net/gallery/...) return the full project: description, tags, licence and all image URLs.

How to scrape Behance projects by keyword

Choose Projects, type keywords and optionally filter by creative field, tool, country of the owner and Time period. Sort by Most appreciated, Most viewed, Most discussed or Most recent. Turn on Fetch full project details to add description, tags and all image URLs (one extra request per project, same price per result).

Monitor changes on a schedule

Turn on Only new or changed items and save the input as a task: each run then outputs only items earlier runs of the same task have not returned: new people matching your search, new projects in a portfolio or a project search (sort by Most recent), new job listings, plus people whose freelance / full-time availability changed. Items already returned are dropped before any detail request and are not charged, so a daily run where nothing changed costs almost nothing. Each run looks at the first Max results per search / URL results of every source (or Max results when that is empty). To schedule it, open the saved task in Apify Console and choose Schedule, for example daily at 07:00. New items carry changeType: "new"; changed people carry changeType: "changed" and previousValues with the old availability. Use Monitoring key to keep several schedules on the same input separate.

Does it work without a Behance login?

Yes. It reads only what Behance shows logged-out visitors: no account, cookies or session are needed. E-mail addresses and phone numbers are not on public Behance profiles and are not collected; contact the creatives through the website and social links they publish.

How much does it cost to scrape Behance?

You pay per saved item (person, project or job), plus the small platform usage of the run (paid by you). A people search returns 48 people per request; 1,000 people took 21 requests, 0.5 MB of residential proxy traffic and about $0.01 of platform usage. People dropped by the School or availability checks and items already seen in monitoring mode are not charged.

Proxy note

Use Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy (the default). Behance's CDN refuses most datacenter IPs (HTTP 403 before the request reaches Behance); the Actor retries refused requests on a new IP. The answers are small JSON (about 2 KB per person, 1 KB per project), so residential traffic stays at a few MB per 1,000 results.

Integrations and API

Use the run in Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, or call it from Python/Node with the Apify client. See the API tab for ready-made snippets.

Is it legal to scrape Behance?

The Actor collects only data Behance shows publicly to any logged-out visitor: public profiles, projects and job listings, including the names, locations, links and work history creatives chose to publish on their profiles. It does not log in and does not collect anything private, hidden or behind a login. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Behance's terms and applicable law (for example GDPR when you contact people or store their personal data).
