Udemy Scraper

🎓 Udemy Scraper

Scrape Udemy courses by keyword, category, topic, instructor or course URL and get clean rows with price, rating, number of students, duration, lectures, level, language, instructors, what you'll learn, the full curriculum and student reviews. No login, no browser: results arrive in seconds and cost a fraction of a cent per course.

✨ Why use Udemy Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast — reads Udemy's own JSON endpoints, up to 100 courses per request, so 1,000 courses with full details take about a minute.
• 🔎 Every way in — search queries, search URLs with their filters, categories, subcategories, topics, instructor profiles and single course pages.
• 💲 Real prices — current price, list price, discount and currency for every course, not just the search snippet.
• 📚 Deep course data — description, requirements, target audience, topics, rating distribution, captions and the full curriculum outline.
• 💬 Reviews included on demand — newest, oldest or by star rating, with instructor replies.

💰 Pricing

You pay $2.50 per 1,000 courses and $2.50 per 1,000 reviews, plus a small amount of platform usage (compute and datacenter proxy traffic, typically well under one cent per 1,000 courses). Example: 1,000 courses with details ≈ $2.51. There is no start fee.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Udemy? The actor only reads public course pages that anyone can open without an account. Check Udemy's terms and your local laws for your use case, and handle any personal data (reviewer names) responsibly.

Do I need a Udemy account or a proxy? No account. The default datacenter proxy works; switch to residential only if you see blocked requests.

How many courses can I get? Udemy shows at most 10,000 courses for one search or category. Split big jobs into several queries or subcategories to go further.

Why is a field empty? Not every course fills every field (for example free courses have no discount, and some courses have no requirements). Prices and currency follow the proxy country: US dollars by default, or pick a proxy country to get local prices.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs in the console and read results through the API, webhooks or integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• At most 10,000 courses per search or category, and 10,000 reviews per course (Udemy's own limits).
• Prices are the ones Udemy shows in the proxy's country (United States by default); Udemy uses regional pricing, so other countries see other amounts.
• Instructor pages list the instructor's courses; level, language and duration filters don't apply to them. Udemy sometimes blocks profile pages whose address isn't the instructor's name (for example /user/janedoe/); paste one of their course URLs or search their name instead.
• Udemy Business-only content and private courses are not covered.
