How to Scrape JSON — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

#json #webscraping #api #python

If you need to pull JSON data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the JSON-LD Schema & Meta Tag Extractor, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no JSON login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

  • url
  • title
  • metaDescription
  • canonical
  • schemaTypes
  • jsonLd
  • openGraph
  • twitter
  • scrapeDate

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.

Option 1 — No code (Apify Console)

  1. Open the actor: https://apify.com/logiover/json-ld-schema-meta-tag-extractor
  2. Click Try for free.
  3. Leave the input empty for a broad sample, or set the fields below.
  4. Run it, then Export the dataset as CSV/JSON/Excel.

Option 2 — Node.js 

npm install json-ld-schema-meta-tag-extractor
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
const scrape = require("json-ld-schema-meta-tag-extractor");

(async () => {
  const items = await scrape({}, { token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
  console.log(items.length, "results");
  console.log(items[0]);
})();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Option 3 — Python 

pip install json-ld-schema-meta-tag-extractor
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
from json_ld_schema_meta_tag_extractor import scrape

items = scrape({}, token="YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
print(len(items), "results")
print(items[0])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Common use cases

  • Build a fresh JSON dataset for analysis or dashboards
  • Feed JSON records into your own app, CRM or spreadsheet
  • Monitor changes on a schedule and get alerts via webhooks
  • Enrich leads or research with up-to-date JSON data

Automation & export

Because it runs on Apify, you can schedule it, trigger it via webhook, and pipe results into Google Sheets, S3, Zapier, Make or n8n. Every run's dataset is downloadable as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel or XML.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? Only a free Apify token. No JSON account needed.

How many results can I get? Thousands per run; raise the limit to pull more.

Is it an official JSON API? No — it's an unofficial, maintained alternative when there's no official or affordable API.

Can I export to CSV/Excel? Yes — JSON, CSV, JSONL, Excel and XML.
