Komoot Public Tour API Scraper

Fetch full GPX-grade route data from Komoot's public v007 API — geometry, elevation profiles, surfaces, way types, difficulty, and creator metadata — for any public tour by ID or via automatic sitemap discovery.

What it does

Komoot hosts 200M+ public outdoor routes (hikes, bike tours, trail runs, and more). This actor calls the stable v007 JSON API, which returns machine-readable data for any public tour without authentication:

  • Full path geometry — all GPS waypoints with lat/lng/altitude/time offset
  • Surface breakdown — segmented list of surface types (asphalt, gravel, dirt, singletrack, etc.)
  • Way type breakdown — road, path, ferry, etc. per segment
  • Elevation — cumulative gain and loss in metres
  • Difficulty — easy / moderate / difficult with fitness and technical sub-grades
  • Creator — display name of the tour author

Input

Field Type Default Description
tourIds array ["1056563938", "1041217742", "380802822"] Numeric Komoot tour IDs. Extract from komoot.com/smarttour/e{ID}/... or komoot.com/tour/{ID} URLs. Leave empty to discover tours from the sitemap.
maxItems integer 10 Maximum number of tours to fetch. Limits sitemap-discovery runs; ignored when tourIds are provided (all supplied IDs are fetched).
proxyConfiguration object (none) Optional proxy. Residential proxy is recommended for bulk runs exceeding a few hundred tours per hour.

Finding tour IDs

Komoot tour IDs are the numeric portion of tour URLs:

URL format ID
komoot.com/smarttour/e1056563938/pacific-crest-trail 1056563938
komoot.com/tour/1041217742 1041217742

You can also leave tourIds empty — the actor will discover IDs from the English sitemap and return up to maxItems tours.

Use cases

  • Building trail databases or route recommendation systems
  • GIS analysis of hiking/cycling infrastructure
  • Fitness app integrations that need GPX-grade route data
  • Research on outdoor activity patterns by region, sport, or difficulty
  • Competitive intelligence on popular trail destinations

Technical notes

  • Fetches from the public v007 HAL+JSON API — no authentication required for public tours
  • Strictly scoped to status: public tours — private tours are not accessible
  • Default rate: one request per 0.8 seconds, respecting Komoot's servers
  • Residential proxy is optional for normal volumes; recommended above a few hundred tours per hour
