About Startpage Search Scraper 🔍

Need to gather search data but want to avoid the tracking and bias of mainstream engines? This Startpage scraper is my go-to. It taps into Startpage's privacy-respecting results, pulling clean, structured data like page titles, URLs, descriptions, and the original source domains. I use it regularly for projects where understanding genuine search rankings without personalized filter bubbles is crucial. It's incredibly handy for honest competitor analysis—you see what ranking signals actually work—and for content research that isn't skewed by your own search history. Whether you're building a market research dashboard, tracking SEO performance, or sourcing content ideas, this tool gets you the raw data efficiently. You just configure your search queries and let it run, getting back a neat dataset ready for analysis in a spreadsheet or your own app. It respects Startpage's terms, so you can gather the insights you need reliably.
