Capabilities

Everything you need from Architizer, nothing you do not

Our Architizer scraper navigates the SPA architecture to extract deep project metadata, firm portfolios, and the exact building products specified in award-winning designs.

Full Project Extraction

Title, location, year, typology, status, description, and high-resolution image URLs scraped at the project level.

Firm Directory Mining

Extract firm profiles, employee counts, location data, contact information, and full project portfolios.

Product & Material Mapping

Map exactly which products and materials are used in which projects, creating a relational graph of specifications.

High-Resolution Image URLs

Capture direct CDN links for project photography, floor plans, and product detail images without compression.

A+Awards Intelligence

Track historical A+Awards winners, jury selections, and public voting metrics across all categories and years.

Geographic Filtering

Filter extractions by city, country, or region to build localised firm directories and project databases.

Manufacturer Profiles

Extract manufacturer catalogues, contact details, and lists of projects where their products are specified.

Team & Collaborator Credits

Extract lists of structural engineers, landscape architects, and lighting designers credited on major projects.

Scheduled Updates

Run one-off bulk exports or configure continuous pipelines at weekly cadences with change-detection diffing.

Under the hood

How our Architizer pipeline handles the hard parts

Architizer is a heavy React SPA with aggressive image lazy-loading and rate limits. Here is how we maintain steady extraction.

SPA hydration
Full React state extraction

Architizer relies heavily on client-side rendering. We intercept the underlying GraphQL and API responses directly from the network layer, bypassing the need to scrape the DOM for structured metadata.

Infinite scroll handling
Automated pagination traversal

Project galleries and firm directories use infinite scroll. Our crawlers simulate user scrolling and capture all paginated API requests to ensure zero data loss at the bottom of long lists.

Rate limit mitigation
Residential proxy rotation

Directory scraping triggers aggressive rate limits. We distribute requests across thousands of residential IPs with randomised delays to maintain stable throughput without triggering blocks.

Relational mapping
Preserving graph connections

A project references a firm, which references a product, which references a manufacturer. We maintain these foreign keys in our extraction schema so you can load the data directly into a relational database.

Image metadata
Extracting clean CDN links

We bypass thumbnail compression by reverse-engineering the image CDN URL structure, delivering the highest resolution assets available for your training datasets or mood boards.

Applications

Who uses Architizer data and how

Teams across industries use architizer.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Building Product Marketing

Manufacturers target architectural firms that specify competitor products in recent projects.

02
Lead Generation for Reps

Sales teams identify architects working on active projects within specific typologies and regions.

03
Architectural Trend Analysis

Analysts track material usage, sustainability certifications, and stylistic shifts across global regions.

04
Competitor Benchmarking

Firms monitor competitor output, project scale, and A+Awards success rates to inform strategy.

05
Material Sourcing

Designers build internal material libraries by extracting product specifications from award-winning projects.

06
Talent Acquisition

Recruiters identify lead architects and credited collaborators on high-profile projects for targeted outreach.

Why DataFlirt

"Architizer holds the global graph of which firms design what buildings, and exactly which materials they specify to build them."

Extracting this graph requires navigating heavy JavaScript payloads, infinite scroll pagination, and complex relational mappings between projects, firms, and products. DataFlirt manages the proxy rotation and SPA execution so you just query the final tables.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Architizer pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheusAPIWebhook
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, infinite scroll, and API interception.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies to bypass rate limits on directory pages. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About architizer.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Architizer legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Architizer is generally permissible under applicable law. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated project, firm, and product data. We do not extract personal data behind login walls.

How do you handle the infinite scroll on project pages?

We intercept the underlying API pagination requests rather than simulating browser scrolls whenever possible. This ensures complete data capture without UI rendering overhead.

Can you extract high-resolution images?

Yes. We extract the original CDN URLs for project images, allowing you to download uncompressed assets directly. We deliver the URLs, not the binary files, to keep pipeline payloads lightweight.

Do you map products to the projects they are used in?

Yes. Our schema preserves the relational links between projects, the specifying firms, and the building products used, delivered as nested JSON or relational CSV tables.

How fresh is the data?

Full catalogue refreshes at weekly or monthly cadences complete within a 12-24 hour window depending on size. We use change detection to only process updated profiles.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 500 projects or firm profiles as part of the pre-engagement scoping process.
