What does Sportograf Events Scraper do?
Sportograf Events Scraper extracts race events from Sportograf — the race photography platform for triathlons, IRONMAN, HYROX, cycling, marathons, and swimming events. Paste the Sportograf homepage (or a national page such as https://www.sportograf.com/de/) and export structured event data — name, date, state, banner image, and event link — as JSON, CSV, or Excel, without writing any code.
The Actor reads the same public GraphQL endpoint the Sportograf web app uses, so it returns clean, structured records reliably and does not need a browser or proxy.
Why scrape Sportograf?
- Event monitoring — Track which races go live for photo sales and when they enter reminder, online, or closed states.
- Sports market research — Study event calendars across triathlon, cycling, running, and mass-participation sports.
- Coverage planning — Build a list of upcoming events with sub-event counts for photography or media coverage.
- Price & availability tracking — Schedule runs and diff the event list between runs.
- Apify platform — Schedule runs, export JSON/CSV/Excel, monitor failures, and integrate via API.

How many results can you get?
Sportograf lists hundreds of past and upcoming events. Each listed event is one dataset row; pagination is handled automatically.
Tips
- Schedule runs to snapshot the event list daily and diff new additions.
- Use a single event URL to check the current state, banner, and sub-events of one race.
- Export to CSV or Excel directly from the dataset view.
