eSIMDB Travel eSIM Scraper

What does eSIMDB Travel eSIM Scraper do?

eSIMDB Travel eSIM Scraper extracts travel eSIM data plans from esimdb.com, the largest independent travel eSIM comparison site, covering 400,000+ prepaid plans from 200+ providers. It talks directly to the same JSON endpoints the site itself uses to render its country and region pages, so results come back fast and complete — no browser rendering or pagination clicking required. Run it on the Apify platform to get scheduled runs, API access, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and more.

Why use eSIMDB Travel eSIM Scraper?

• Price monitoring — track how travel eSIM prices for a country or region change over time.
• Market research — compare data caps, validity periods, and pricing across every provider selling eSIMs for a destination.
• Affiliate/comparison sites — power your own eSIM comparison tool with structured, up-to-date plan data.
• Competitor analysis — see exactly which plans a competing provider offers and at what price.

How to use eSIMDB Travel eSIM Scraper

1. Click Try for free or Run on the Apify platform.
2. Choose a Scrape mode:
   • Full crawl — scrapes every country and region eSIMDB tracks (default). This is hundreds of thousands of unique plans, and since rows are charged individually the bill scales accordingly. Before starting it, raise the run's Max total charge above the platform default, or the run will stop early once that cap is hit — the Actor logs its own row/cost estimate as soon as it starts.
   • Targeted — scrapes only the country/region URLs you provide, and is far cheaper.
3. If using Targeted mode, add one or more eSIMDB country or region page URLs, e.g. https://esimdb.com/france or https://esimdb.com/region/europe.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your results from the Storage tab in JSON, CSV, Excel, or other formats.

Input

Field	Type	Description
mode	String	full or targeted.
startUrls	Array	Country/region page URLs to scrape (targeted mode only).
proxyConfiguration	Object	Optional proxy settings, useful if eSIMDB starts rate-limiting your IP.
includeAffiliateLinks	Boolean	Fetch each provider's website/App Store/Google Play affiliate links (default: true).
maxConcurrency	Integer	Max parallel requests (default: 10).
requestDelaySecs	Number	Politeness delay between requests, in seconds (default: 0.3).

See the Input tab for the full schema.

Output

Each dataset item is one unique data plan. Plans sold across multiple countries or regions (e.g. a pan-European bundle) are listed identically under every destination on eSIMDB's own site — this Actor deduplicates those by plan ID across the whole run and instead lists everywhere that plan is sold in coverageCountries/coverageRegions, so you're not billed once per country for the same plan. Example:

{
    "planId": "6a3a519761cac50f90a944d6",
    "planName": "10GB / 7 Days",
    "validityInfo": "",
    "dataCapacityMb": 10000,
    "isUnlimited": false,
    "validityDays": 7,
    "prices": { "USD": 8, "EUR": 8, "GBP": 7 },
    "usdPrice": 8,
    "has5G": true,
    "isLowLatency": true,
    "providerName": "Ubigi",
    "providerSlug": "ubigi",
    "providerWebsiteUrl": "https://go.ubigi.com/Jz5GLE",
    "providerAppStoreUrl": null,
    "providerPlayStoreUrl": null,
    "coverageCountries": ["France"],
    "coverageRegions": [],
    "planUrl": "https://esimdb.com/france/ubigi"
}

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

Data table

Field	Description
planName / planId	Plan name and unique ID
dataCapacityMb, isUnlimited	Data allowance (0 + isUnlimited: true means unlimited/speed-capped)
validityDays, validityInfo	How long the plan lasts
prices, usdPrice, promoPrices, usdPromoPrice	Pricing in listed currencies and USD
has5G, isLowLatency, tethering, telephony	Plan capabilities
providerName, providerSlug, providerCertified	The eSIM provider selling the plan
providerWebsiteUrl, providerAppStoreUrl, providerPlayStoreUrl	The provider's affiliate links, when eSIMDB has them
coverageCountries	Every country this plan is sold under, as human-readable names
coverageRegions	Every region this plan is sold under, as {slug, name} pairs
planUrl	Link to this plan's page on eSIMDB (first listed country, or region if it's region-only)

Cost estimation

The current price of every event is on the Pricing tab of this Actor's page in Apify Store. That tab is generated from the Actor's own pricing record, so it is always current, and your plan's rung is applied automatically. A figure repeated here would be a second copy that drifts out of date.

You can cap what any single run may spend with Max total charge.

Tips

• Use Targeted mode with a small startUrls list when you only care about a handful of destinations — it's both faster and dramatically cheaper than a full crawl.
• Before a full crawl, check the Actor's startup log for its row/cost estimate and set a Max total charge on the run that covers it, or the run will stop early.
• Turn off includeAffiliateLinks if you don't need provider website/app-store links — it skips the extra per-provider page fetches (this doesn't affect the per-row price, only compute time).
• Increase maxConcurrency for faster full crawls if eSIMDB isn't rate-limiting you; lower it (and raise requestDelaySecs) if you see request failures.
• Enable proxyConfiguration if you start seeing failed requests due to IP-based rate limiting.
