Capabilities

Extract architecture portfolios with precision

Our Behance scraper handles dynamic module loading, API rate limits, and pagination to extract high-resolution assets and creator metadata reliably.

Full Portfolio Extraction

Extract all public projects associated with a creator profile, handling infinite scroll pagination automatically.

High-Resolution Asset Capture

Parse project modules to extract the original, uncompressed image URLs, video links, and 3D model embeds.

Creator Analytics

Track follower counts, total views, and appreciations over time to identify trending architecture studios.

Tool Stack Mapping

Extract metadata indicating software usage, such as Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and V-Ray for every project.

Geographic Discovery

Filter and aggregate creators by city, country, or region to map local design talent.

Co-Creator Relationships

Map studio collaborations and individual contributors credited on large-scale architectural projects.

Moodboard & Collection Mining

Extract curated inspiration boards and saved collections from leading interior designers.

Engagement Tracking

Capture comment text, reply threads, and appreciation velocity to measure project reception.

Tag Normalisation

Standardise project tags across categories like Interior Design, Architecture, and 3D Art.

Under the hood

How our Behance pipeline handles the hard parts

Behance relies heavily on infinite scroll and dynamic asset loading. Here is how we maintain stable extraction.

Infinite scroll handling
Pagination via API interception

Behance projects load modules dynamically as the user scrolls. We intercept the underlying GraphQL and REST API calls to extract full project payloads without rendering the entire DOM.

Asset resolution
High-resolution URL extraction

Display images are compressed. Our pipeline parses the srcset and module metadata to extract the highest available resolution URLs for architectural renders and floor plans.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation

Adobe applies rate limits to aggressive scrapers. We distribute requests across residential IP pools with realistic browser headers to maintain uninterrupted access.

Complex project structures
Module type normalisation

A Behance project can contain text, images, embeds, and grids. We normalise these disparate module types into a predictable JSON schema.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what has changed

For tracked creators, we hash project lists and only extract newly published portfolios or updated engagement metrics, reducing processing overhead.

Applications

Who uses Behance data and how

Teams across industries use behance.net data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Talent Sourcing

Architecture firms and recruiters identify top 3D visualisers and interior designers based on portfolio quality and software proficiency.

02
Trend Analysis

Material manufacturers track the usage of concrete, timber, or specific lighting fixtures in trending interior design projects.

03
Market Research

Agencies monitor competitor studios to benchmark engagement rates and output volume.

04
AI Training Data

Computer vision teams extract high-quality architectural renders and floor plans to train image generation models.

05
Lead Generation

Software vendors target creators using specific tools like AutoCAD or V-Ray for precision marketing campaigns.

06
Content Aggregation

Design publications curate trending projects and moodboards automatically for editorial features.

Why DataFlirt

"Behance holds the most comprehensive visual record of global architecture and interior design, but extracting structured metadata from image-heavy portfolios requires specialised infrastructure."

Most teams struggle with Behance due to its reliance on infinite scroll, dynamic module loading, and Adobe rate limiting. Extracting clean, high-resolution architectural renders alongside creator metadata requires deep API interception and proxy rotation. DataFlirt manages this complexity so your team can focus on design analysis.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Behance pipeline

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

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
API Interception Stack

Playwright handles initial session generation while Scrapy intercepts internal GraphQL requests to extract raw project JSON, bypassing heavy DOM rendering.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We route requests through ISP-grade residential proxies. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions to avoid Adobe security triggers.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

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

Common questions.

About behance.net scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Behance legal?

Scraping publicly available portfolios and metadata is generally permissible. DataFlirt extracts only public profiles, images, and engagement metrics. We do not bypass authentication to access private drafts.

How do you handle high-resolution images?

We extract the maximum resolution URLs directly from the project payload rather than scraping compressed thumbnails from the DOM.

Can you filter by software used?

Yes. We can target projects specifically tagged with tools like Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or V-Ray.

How do you bypass Adobe rate limits?

We use residential proxy pools and mimic human request pacing to avoid triggering 429 Too Many Requests errors.

Do you download the images or just provide URLs?

By default, we provide structured data containing image URLs. We can configure a secondary pipeline to download and push binary assets directly to your S3 bucket if required.

How fresh is the data?

We can configure pipelines to monitor specific creators daily, or run one-off bulk extractions for category-wide historical data.
