The Energy.gov Scraper automates the collection of official content from the U.S. Department of Energy website. It pulls articles, press releases, congressional testimonies, blog posts, success stories, and multimedia content directly from the DOE search system. Each record includes the headline, publication date, source office, content category, direct link, and unique identifier. You can filter by keyword, article type, DOE office, and language to zero in on exactly the content you need. Free users can collect up to 10 items per run, while paid users can retrieve up to 1,000,000 results.

Whether you are tracking renewable energy policy shifts, monitoring nuclear research announcements, or building a dataset of DOE press releases for media analysis, this tool replaces hours of manual browsing with a single automated run. Results export to JSON, CSV, or Excel for immediate use in spreadsheets, dashboards, or data pipelines. Schedule recurring runs to stay current with the latest DOE publications without lifting a finger. The scraper handles pagination, deduplication, and rate limiting automatically so you can focus on analysis instead of data collection.

📋 What the Energy.gov Scraper does

• 📝 Article headlines - capture the title of every article, press release, blog post, or document published on energy.gov
• 🔗 Direct URLs - collect working links to each piece of content for quick reference or archival
• 📅 Publication dates - track when content was published to build timelines and spot trends
• 👤 Source offices - identify which DOE office or organization published the content (e.g., Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy)
• 🎯 Content categories - classify each item by type: blog, press release, document, success story, congressional testimony, or multimedia
• 🆔 Unique identifiers - get UUIDs for each article to manage deduplication and data integrity

The scraper connects to the DOE search system and iterates through results using your specified filters. It collects structured data from each listing, normalizes timestamps, and removes duplicate entries using unique article IDs. All results are pushed to an Apify dataset in real time, so you can preview data as the run progresses.

💡 Why it matters: Energy.gov publishes thousands of articles annually across dozens of offices. Manually tracking this content is impractical. This scraper gives you structured, filterable access to the entire catalog in minutes.
