SpaceX Launches Scraper

Pull the full SpaceX launch catalog from spacex.com in clean JSON. Every Falcon 1, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Starship launch comes through with its vehicle, mission type, status, launch and return site, date and time, hero images, and a direct link to the mission page. Filter by vehicle, mission type, status, launch site, or date range, then optionally enrich each launch with the full mission write-up, webcasts, pre and post launch timelines, and carousel imagery.

Why this scraper

• Covers the entire launch history plus upcoming and in-progress missions, roughly 680 launches, in a single fast run.
• Pulls structured fields straight from the site's own content feed, so the data matches what you see on the page.
• Two modes: search the whole catalog with filters, or fetch specific mission pages by URL.
• Optional mission detail adds long-form descriptions, webcasts, timelines, astronauts, and image carousels.
• Runs on Apify datacenter proxy, no special plan required.
• Client-side filters for vehicle, mission type, status, launch site, and date range, with date sorting.

Data you get

Sample values from a real launch (Starlink mission sl-10-22).

How to use

Search the whole catalog (newest first, 20 launches):

{
"mode":"search",
"maxListings":20,
"sortBy":"date-desc",
"proxy":{"useApifyProxy":true}
}

Only Starship launches, with full mission detail:

{
"mode":"search",
"vehicle":"Starship",
"fetchDetails":true,
"maxListings":0,
"proxy":{"useApifyProxy":true}
}

Resupply missions to a specific site in a date window:

{
"mode":"search",
"missionType":"resupply",
"launchSiteContains":"Florida",
"dateFrom":"2023-01-01",
"dateTo":"2023-12-31",
"proxy":{"useApifyProxy":true}
}

Fetch specific mission pages by URL:

{
"mode":"url",
"urls":[
"https://www.spacex.com/launches/sl-10-22",
"https://www.spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-12"
],
"proxy":{"useApifyProxy":true}
}

Input parameters

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape — the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record — not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Plan requirement

This actor runs on the Apify free plan with the default datacenter proxy. The data source is an open content feed with no geographic restriction, so residential proxy is optional and only useful if you want extra IP rotation. Set maxListings to 0 to pull the entire catalog in one run.
