Keep Fitness Course Catalog Scraper
Keep Fitness Course Catalog Scraper
Scrapes Keep (gotokeep.com) — China's largest fitness platform, 200M+ users. Returns course listings across yoga, meditation, qigong, HIIT, dance, and dozens of other categories with title, difficulty, participant count, equipment, and cover image in clean JSON.
Keep is the WeChat of fitness for mainland China. Their web course catalog doesn't have a public API, so you scrape it.

How It Works
Keep's fitness catalog is organized as curated workout hashtag groups. The scraper seeds from /training (224 category groups), visits each group page, and extracts all course cards. No browser required — the catalog is server-rendered.
Full run coverage: ~224 category groups × avg 5 courses = roughly 1,000+ unique course records after deduplication.
Note: fields like instructor details, calorie burn, rating, and price are available only through Keep's authenticated mobile API and are not accessible from the public website.
Use Cases
- Wellness brand market research — Understand which course categories dominate Keep's CN audience
- Fitness app competitive analysis — Track participant counts and content gaps vs. Western platforms (Peloton, Apple Fitness+)
- Influencer and trainer discovery — Identify course creators by scraping plan titles and cross-referencing with social profiles
- Athleisure activation intelligence — Build CN fitness market snapshots for brands entering the market (Lululemon, Nike Yoga, Decathlon)
Notes
- Keep CDN throttles burst requests. The scraper runs at 3 concurrent requests with automatic rate-limit backoff.
- Some courses appear in multiple category groups. CoreCrawler deduplicates URLs automatically — you won't get duplicate records.
- Difficulty ratings follow Keep's K-scale: K1 (easiest) → K5 (most demanding).
- Participant counts reflect totals across all time — popular courses like Pamela Reif's stretch series exceed 4 million.
