🎨 DesignRush Agencies Directory Scraper

🚀 Export DesignRush agency directories in seconds. Agency names, locations, team sizes, hourly rates, services, industries, and notable clients, straight from designrush.com.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 12 fields per record · Public directory · No login required

The DesignRush Agencies Directory Scraper turns the public DesignRush directory into a clean, structured dataset. Hand it a search query or a category, and it returns one row per profile with every public field flattened and normalized.

You get 12 fields per record - the same ones a human visitor sees on the public site, just structured so you can drop them straight into Excel, BigQuery, or your CRM.

📋 What the DesignRush Agencies Directory Scraper does

• Calls the public DesignRush pages and parses the listing HTML or JSON payload.
• Walks pagination and follows each profile link.
• Extracts 12 fields per record - identifiers, contact info, ratings, and metadata.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a clean error record instead of crashing.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: DesignRush is a goldmine of public directory data, but the site is built for browsing, not bulk export. This actor turns it into a structured dataset in seconds.

⚙️ Input

Example 1 - default run:

{
"category":"web-design-companies",
"maxItems":10,
"minBudget":10
}

Example 2 - larger pull:

{
"category":"web-design-companies",
"maxItems":50
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Free users are auto-limited to 10 items per run. Paid users can pull up to 1,000,000 records. Heavy runs may take longer due to DesignRush's rate limits.
