Overview
Course Report Bootcamps Scraper
Scrape bootcamp listings from Course Report by keyword, up to a million per run. Every school comes with its name, location, subjects, and rating. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Course Report's directory is the go-to place for coding bootcamps, but there is no official API and manual browsing is slow. This reads the public school directory directly, filtered by keyword, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Market researchers | Which bootcamps are active in a given subject area |
| Career advisors | A current list of bootcamps to recommend to students |
| Bootcamp operators | Competitor schools and their subject offerings |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Your keyword may be too specific or misspelled. Try a broader term like data or ux, or leave the query empty to list the whole directory.
Why did the run stop before reaching my maximum?
The directory may have fewer bootcamps than your maximum. Lower the maximum or leave the query empty to see all available listings.
Why are some fields empty in my results?
Not all bootcamps list every field on Course Report. Empty fields mean the information was not available on the directory page.
Can I get more than 1,000,000 bootcamps?
The maximum is 1,000,000 per run. If you need more, split your query into smaller keyword groups and run the Actor multiple times.
Why is the run taking a long time?
Collecting a large number of bootcamps takes time. Reduce the maximum bootcamps or narrow your keyword to speed up the run.
