Output

Each row in your dataset is one API listing, or one API endpoint when Deep Scrape is enabled. All fields are flat with no nested data, so the file opens cleanly in any spreadsheet program.

Pricing

$0.79 per 1,000 results. The first 50 results of every run are completely free. No monthly subscriptions and no minimum commits.

You only pay for the API listings collected and saved to your dataset. A typical run of 100 listings completes in under a minute.

---

Quick start

Create a .env file from .env.example, add your Apify API token, and run:

npm install
npm start

The script uses the Apify API client to start the RapidAPI Hub Scraper actor and fetch results.

Tips and optimization

• Use category filters to narrow results: Pass one or more names such as Finance or Sports to return only relevant listings.
• Enable deep scrape for endpoint mapping: Turn on Deep Scrape to collect every route and HTTP method exposed by each API. Useful for integration audits and API comparison tools.
• Filter by success rate for reliable picks: Set Min Success Rate to 95 or higher to surface only APIs with a strong reliability track record.
• Stack filters for precision sourcing: Combine category, pricing model, and latency filters to find free APIs under 500ms with high success rates in a single run.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape RapidAPI Hub? Yes. This tool accesses only publicly visible marketplace listing pages and does not bypass any login, paywall, or access control.

Does deep scrape cost more per run? Deep scrape visits each API profile page to collect endpoint data. This increases the number of result rows. You are charged per row returned, not per API visited.

Can I scrape a specific category or collection? Yes. Paste a RapidAPI category URL into Start URLs, or use the Category Filter and Collections fields to target specific verticals without providing a URL.
