How to Scrape Website Link Graph & Outbound Links — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

#website #webscraping #api #python

If you need to pull Website Link Graph & Outbound Links 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 Website Link Graph & Outbound Links Crawler, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Website Link Graph & Outbound Links login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

  • sourceUrl
  • targetUrl
  • targetDomain
  • anchorText
  • linkType
  • rel
  • isNofollow
  • isUgc
  • isSponsored
  • opensNewTab
  • crawledAt

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/website-link-graph-crawler
  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 website-link-graph-crawler
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
const scrape = require("website-link-graph-crawler");

(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 website-link-graph-crawler
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
from website_link_graph_crawler import scrape

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