RapidAPI Hub Scraper

🔌 RapidAPI Hub Scraper

Turn the RapidAPI Hub marketplace into a clean spreadsheet: every API's name, description, pricing model, category, popularity, latency, success rate and publisher, and with full details its billing plans, rating, subscriber count, website, readme and endpoints. Search by keyword or category, or paste API, collection and publisher links. No RapidAPI account, no API key, no login, and it costs $0.08 per 1,000 APIs.

✨ Why use RapidAPI Hub Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast — reads the same data feed the RapidAPI Hub pages use: 100 APIs per request, 100 APIs with full details in about 10 seconds.
• 💸 Cheap — $0.08 per 1,000 APIs, listings or full details, and you pay only for APIs saved.
• 🧾 Real pricing data — every public billing plan with its monthly price, quotas, overage price, rate limit and features, plus the lowest paid plan and whether a free plan exists.
• 📈 Quality signals — popularity score, average latency, success rate and service level, rating and votes, and subscriber counts.
• 🔓 No login — public marketplace data only, no RapidAPI account or key.
• 🧭 Beyond 1,000 results — RapidAPI shows at most 1,000 results per search; for bigger jobs the actor also reads each category and sort order and saves every API once.

🎯 Use cases

📤 Output

One row per API. Listing rows hold the search-card data; detailed rows (result_type = api_detail) add everything from the API page.

A detailed row from a real run (readme and plan lists shortened):

The dataset has three views: Overview (search-card data), Details (plans, rating, subscribers) and Billing plans (one row per plan).

💰 Pricing

Pay per result: $0.08 per 1,000 APIs ($0.00008 each), the same for a listing row and a row with full details. You pay only for APIs that are saved; rows dropped by your filters cost nothing.

Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top and is small. Measured on our runs at the default 256 MB: a 100-API search used about $0.0002 of usage, and 100 APIs with full details about $0.0006. So 1,000 APIs ≈ $0.08 plus a few tenths of a cent of usage.

Set a maximum charge for the run and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape RapidAPI Hub? The actor reads only public marketplace pages that anyone can open without an account. It collects no personal data beyond the publisher names and links RapidAPI shows publicly. Check that your use of the data fits RapidAPI's terms and the laws that apply to you.

Do I need a RapidAPI account, key or proxy? No account or key. The default datacenter proxy works; if it is ever refused, the actor switches to US residential exits by itself.

How many results can I get? As many as you ask for. RapidAPI shows at most 1,000 results for one search, so for bigger jobs the actor also reads each category and each sort order and saves every API once. Very broad searches (the whole marketplace has over 80,000 APIs) can still leave some APIs out of reach; the run's status message and the OUTPUT record say how many of the matches were reached.

Why is a field empty? The publisher did not fill it in (website, readme and long description are often missing), or the field only comes with Fetch full details. If an API's own page has no data on RapidAPI, the row is saved with its listing data and charged as a listing.

Can I scrape a publisher or a collection? Yes: paste https://rapidapi.com/user/{username} or https://rapidapi.com/collection/{slug}. Organization pages are not supported; paste their API links or search for the organization's name.

Can I schedule it or use it from code? Yes. Save your input as a task, schedule it, and read the dataset through the Scrapely API, webhooks or integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• RapidAPI shows at most 1,000 results per search. Splitting by category and sort order gets past that, but not always to every API of a very broad search.
• Organization pages (rapidapi.com/organization/...) are not supported.
• Only public billing plans are saved; private or custom plans offered to single customers are skipped.
• Results past the first 1,000 of a search come from category and sort-order slices, so they are not in one global order.
• An API found by several search terms is saved once, under the first term that found it.
• Data is what RapidAPI shows at the time of the run; popularity, latency and success rates are RapidAPI's own figures.
