Brave Search Scraper

Searches Brave Search and extracts rich, source-backed organic web listing data including publisher paths, snippets, deep links, images, dates, and search context.

What this Actor collects

Each dataset item represents one source-backed Brave organic listing, with ranking, destination, publisher path, snippet, rich-result, image, date, and search context fields when available.

• Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
• Stores source-backed fields defined by the 59-field dataset schema.
• Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

• Search and competitor research
• Ranking and visibility monitoring
• Dataset and workflow enrichment
