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

#numbeo #webscraping #api #python

If you need to pull Numbeo 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 Numbeo Scraper — Cost of Living Data by City, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Numbeo login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

type
city
country
category
categoryGroup
itemName
avgPrice
lowestPrice
highestPrice
currency
rank
scrapedAt
url

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)

Open the actor: https://apify.com/logiover/numbeo-cost-of-living-scrape

Leave the input empty for a broad sample, or set the fields below.
Run it, then Export the dataset as CSV/JSON/Excel.

Option 2 — Node.js

npm install numbeo-cost-of-living-scrape

const scrape = require("numbeo-cost-of-living-scrape");

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

Option 3 — Python

pip install numbeo-cost-of-living-scrape

from numbeo_cost_of_living_scrape import scrape
