Find public online courses, course creators, course pages, prices, creator websites, public contact pages, and social links from keywords or direct course URLs.

Best for affiliate marketers, creator partnership teams, agencies, B2B lead generators, market researchers, and automation builders who need clean public course data for outreach and analysis.

What this Actor does

Online Course Lead Finder searches public web results for online courses and scans direct course URLs. It extracts structured course and creator data that can be exported to CSV, JSON, Excel, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, or an API workflow.

It only collects publicly visible information. It does not scrape private student data, bypass logins, access paid course content, or guess private contact details.
