🤔 What can Behance Search Scraper do?

This Actor lets you search Behance across multiple content types in a single run. Define independent query lists per type and get structured results:

🔍 Search by projects, users, assets, and images — simultaneously, each with their own queries

🖼️ Extract project covers in original resolution and 808px — both JPG and WEBP formats

👤 Get user profile info — username, display name, avatar, location, availability status

📦 Get asset projects — filtered to those that have downloadable source files

🎞️ Get image results — individual image modules with resolution, tags, colors, and EXIF data

📊 Collect views and appreciations (likes) for each project

🎨 Extract dominant colors from project covers

📅 Get published and last modified timestamps

🔁 Rotate proxies to avoid rate limiting (optional)

📦 Download results in JSON, CSV, XML, or Excel from the Apify Dataset

🦾 Integrate via API, webhooks, SDKs (Python & Node.js), or connect with Zapier, n8n, Make, and more

🔧 How to scrape data from Behance

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Open Behance Search Scraper.
3. Define your search tasks — each task specifies a content type and its own list of queries.
4. Optionally set max results per query and proxy URLs.
5. Click Save & Start and wait for the results.
6. Download your data in JSON, CSV, XML, Excel, or access it via the Apify API.

⬇️ Input

Each search type has its own query list. Leave a field empty (or omit it) to skip that type.

At least one of the four query fields must be non-empty.

Example input

{
"projectQueries":["figma ui design","mobile app branding"],
"userQueries":["ui designer"],
"assetQueries":["ui kit mockup"],
"imageQueries":["sunset minimal"],
"maxResults":5,
"proxy":["http://user:pass@host:port"]
}

⬆️ Output

Results are pushed to the Apify Dataset. Each item includes search_type and search_query fields so you know which task produced each result.

❓ FAQ

Can I search multiple types in one run?

Yes. Fill in any combination of projectQueries, userQueries, assetQueries, and imageQueries. Each non-empty field runs as its own search task. Results are tagged with search_type and search_query.

Can each type have different queries?

Yes. Each field is independent — projectQueries can have different terms from userQueries, and so on.

How many results can I get per query?

Default is 20 per query per type. Increase this with maxResults (e.g. 50, 100, 500). Behance reports up to ~10,000 results per query.

Can I use multiple proxies?

Yes. The proxy field accepts an array of proxy URLs. They are rotated round-robin across requests.

Does this require a Behance account or API key?

No. The scraper uses Behance's public GraphQL API — no login or API key required. A unique session token (bcp) is auto-generated per run using UUID v4.

Is it legal to scrape Behance?

This scraper only extracts publicly available data — nothing behind authentication. However, scraped data may contain personal information protected by GDPR and other regulations. Ensure you have a legitimate reason for collection and consult legal counsel if unsure. See also Apify's blog on the legality of web scraping.
