AllTrails Scraper - Hiking Trail Data

AllTrails Trail Scraper

Extract hiking, running and biking trail data from AllTrails by park, state, city, map bounding box, keyword or AllTrails URL, with one flat dataset row per trail. The Free plan charges $0.004 per saved result and $0.00005 per apify-actor-start event.

• Build trail directories for parks, states, cities and regions.
• Compare difficulty, distance, elevation, ratings, reviews and route types.
• Map trailheads with latitude and longitude, plus activity and feature filters.
• Download descriptions and optional trail-page details.
• Run without an AllTrails login or API key.

Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event billing on the Free plan:

• apify-default-dataset-item: $0.004 per saved dataset result on the Free plan. One result is one scraped trail with all fields.
• apify-actor-start: $0.00005 per event on the Free plan. It is charged once per GB of run memory, minimum one event.
• On the Free plan, 1,000 results = 1,000 × $0.004 = $4.00, plus the start event.
• On the Free plan, 1,249 results = 1,249 × $0.004 = $4.996, plus the start event.
• On the Free plan, 10,000 results = 10,000 × $0.004 = $40.00, plus the start event.

You pay only for the events listed above. This Actor does not use the Pay per event + usage option, so compute, proxy traffic and storage are not billed separately. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly platform usage credit.

How to use

1. Choose a search mode: park, state or region, city, coordinates or keyword.
2. Enter the matching location or keyword, or provide optional AllTrails Start URLs.
3. Add difficulty, rating, review, route, activity, feature, traffic, length, elevation or closed-status filters.
4. Set maxResults, language and optional trail-page details.
5. Start the Actor and read the flat trail rows from the dataset.
6. Repeat the run through Apify Schedules; weekly is a starting point for a trail-data collection job.

{
  "searchType": "park",

  "difficulty": ["moderate", "hard"],
  "minRating": 4.5,
  "maxResults": 50,
  "language": "en-US",
  "includeDetails": false
}

Export the dataset as JSON or CSV, or read it through the Apify dataset API.

Limits and edge cases

Condition	What you see	What to do
A park, state or city name does not resolve as an AllTrails location	The search can return no trails	Check the spelling and use AllTrails’ name
Filters are too restrictive	An empty or smaller-than-expected dataset	Loosen rating, review, feature, activity or location filters
features contains multiple values	A trail must contain every selected feature	Remove a feature or use fewer requirements
Multiple activities, difficulty levels, route types or traffic levels are selected	A trail can match any selected value in those groups	Select the values that should be accepted
includeDetails is enabled	Trail-page fields are requested and the run is slower	Leave it disabled when listing fields are sufficient
A location has more trails than one search query holds (the search index returns at most 1,000 hits per query)	Only when a location has more than 1,000 trails, the area is divided into trail-length slices; large runs are ordered shorter to longer	Set maxResults or use length filters
A Start URL is supplied	searchType and location fields are ignored	Put the intended AllTrails URL in startUrls
A Start URL is not a supported AllTrails trail, park, city, state or explore-map URL	That URL is skipped and a warning is logged	Replace it with a supported AllTrails URL
A trail-page fetch fails while includeDetails is enabled	The trail row is still saved; its optional detail fields are null	Run again or use the listing fields
A direct trail URL is supplied	The run targets that trail instead of general search filters	Use a park, city, state, map or keyword search for a collection

FAQ

What does an empty result mean?

The location may not have resolved, its spelling may not match AllTrails, or filters may have removed every trail. Check the spelling and loosen the filters.

Do I need an AllTrails login or API key?

No. The documented input does not require an AllTrails login or an API key. Proxy configuration is optional; Apify Proxy can help when fetching trail pages at volume.

What source does this Actor use, and is this legal?
