Behance Projects Scraper

An Apify Actor that extracts all project data from a specified Behance user profile. It handles pagination automatically and outputs structured JSON.

Key Features

• Scrapes all projects from a given Behance username.
• Retrieves detailed project information: covers, features, fields, owners, stats, tools, and metadata.
• Supports resuming interrupted scrapes via a cursor parameter.
• Optional custom proxy support for anonymity and managing rate limits.
• Outputs clean JSON for easy analysis and integration.

How to Use

Provide input to the Actor via a JSON object. The scraper will populate a dataset named behance_projects_<username> with the results.

Input

{
  "username": "designerpreis",
  "cursor": "",
  "proxyUrl": ""
}

• username (string, required): The Behance username to scrape (e.g., "designerpreis").
• cursor (string, optional): A cursor value to resume scraping from a specific point. Leave empty to start from the beginning.
• proxyUrl (string, optional): A single, static proxy URL (e.g., http://user:pass@host:port). Do not use rotating proxies, as they can cause errors during multi-page scraping.

Output

The dataset contains one item per project. Each item is a JSON object with the full project details.
