eSIMDB Scraper

Pull live travel eSIM data plans from eSIMDB at scale — provider, data allowance, validity, headline and per-GB pricing, multi-currency rates, promo codes, 5G support, the full country list behind every regional and worldwide plan, and the underlying carrier network wherever the provider names one. Compare 24 named providers across 37 destinations in a single run, with every plan returned exactly once. Built for travel-tech and comparison sites, affiliate teams, and pricing analysts who need fresh eSIM plan data without manually checking dozens of provider sites one tab at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• 24 named providers, 37 destinations, one run — pick from Airalo, Nomad, Saily, Ubigi, GigSky, aloSIM, Yesim, Truphone and 16 more brands across 37 country catalogs, or pull every brand at once.
• Whole-catalog pulls under an exact billable ceiling — a single destination can return over 10,000 plans; one run captures the entire catalog, and maxResults fixes precisely how many plans come back and how many you pay for.
• Published prices only, never an estimated conversion — every plan carries the provider's own price map (US dollars on all of them, plus EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD and CAD wherever the provider publishes one) and a calculated pricePerGB, so cost comparisons rest on prices travellers are actually charged.
• Promo codes and discounted prices captured automatically — active promo codes (e.g. "ESIMDB15") and the discounted price surface on each plan, so you never miss a deal worth surfacing to your audience.
• Real regional footprints, not a restatement of your search — every plan eSIMDB publishes a country list for carries that whole list, up to 224 countries on a worldwide plan, so you can tell a Japan-only SIM from an Asia-wide one at a glance.
• Carrier-level network detail on ~8 in 10 plans — named underlying carriers (e.g. "KDDI (5G), Softbank (5G)") wherever the provider discloses them, plus a has5G flag and 4G/5G network types on all 100% — detail most comparison feeds drop entirely.
• Four scoped filters — minimum data (GB), maximum price (USD), minimum validity (days), and 5G-only, applied before you're billed so you only pay for the plans you actually want.
• Parsed numbers, not just strings — dataGB, totalDataGB, validityDays, usdPrice, and pricePerGB come ready to sort and chart, with the raw display strings kept too for plans like "3GB/day + unlimited at 1Mbps".
• Per-day and never-expiring plans compared on equal terms — a 1 GB/day plan valid 30 days is scored as 30 GB, so a "minimum 20 GB" search ranks it against a flat 20 GB plan instead of guessing; truly unlimited plans have no ceiling and always qualify; and the roughly 1 in 140 plans with no end date are marked as never expiring rather than zero days, so a "90+ days" search returns them instead of hiding them.
• One row per plan, never one per destination — a regional eSIM sold across 18 countries comes back once, with all 18 countries named, instead of once for each destination you picked. Pick three destinations and you pay for distinct plans, not for the same plan three times.

{
    "countries": ["usa"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

One Brand, Two Destinations

{
    "countries": ["japan", "south-korea"],
    "providers": ["airalo"],

    "providers": ["airalo"],
    "maxResults": 200
}

Filtered, Multi-Currency Search

5G-only plans with at least 5 GB, capped at $30, with euro prices wherever the provider publishes one:

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
countries	select[]	["United States"]	One or more destinations to compare plans for. Choose from 37 countries (United States, United Kingdom, Japan, France, and more). Leave empty and pick a provider below to pull that brand's full catalog across every destination; leave both empty and it defaults to the United States.
providers	select[]	[]	Limit results to specific brands — Airalo, Nomad, Saily, Ubigi, aloSIM, and 19 others. Leave empty to include every provider. Combine with countries to get one brand's plans for a destination, or use providers alone (no countries) to pull a brand's entire global catalog across all 37 destinations.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
minData	integer	0	Only include plans that give you at least this much data in total, in GB. Per-day plans count across their whole validity (1 GB/day for 30 days = 30 GB). Truly unlimited plans always qualify. 0 means no minimum.
maxPrice	integer	0	Only include plans priced at or below this amount in US dollars. 0 means no price cap.
minValidityDays	integer	0	Only include plans valid for at least this many days. Plans that never expire have no end date, so they always qualify. 0 means no minimum.
only5G	boolean	false	When on, return only plans that support 5G networks.

Output Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
currency	select	US Dollar	Preferred currency for the headline price: US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, or Canadian Dollar. A plan uses it when the provider publishes a price in that currency, and stays in US dollars otherwise. Read the currency field on each result to see which one it used.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap on the total number of plans returned — also the maximum you can be billed for, since each plan is one result. A narrow selection can run out of distinct plans before reaching the cap, and you are billed only for what came back. Set to 0 for no limit. A single destination can hold over 10,000 plans, so start small to test before scaling up.

Output

Each plan is one result, and a plan appears once no matter how many of your destinations it covers. Here's a representative item — a single-destination plan, so eSIMDB publishes no country list for it:

{
    "provider": "Airalo",
    "name": "Change - 3 GB",
    "country": "United States",
    "countrySlug": "usa",
    "coverage": null,
    "data": "3GB",
    "dataGB": 3,
    "totalDataGB": 3,
    "validity": "30 days",
    "validityDays": 30,
    "price": 11,
    "currency": "USD",
    "usdPrice": 11,
    "prices": { "USD": 11, "EUR": 10.2, "GBP": 8.7, "JPY": 1650, "AUD": 16.8, "CAD": 15 },
    "pricePerGB": 3.6667,
    "promoPrice": 9.35,
    "promoCode": "ESIMDB15",
    "network": "T-Mobile (5G), AT&T (5G)",
    "networkTypes": ["5G"],
    "has5G": true,
    "tethering": true,
    "voiceSms": false,
    "maxSpeed": "5G",
    "reducedSpeed": null,
    "canTopUp": true,
    "providerSlug": "airalo",
    "url": "https://esimdb.com/usa/airalo",
    "planId": "5f3a1c9e2b"
}

A regional or worldwide plan fills coverage with every country it is sold for, for example ["Japan", "South Korea", "Thailand", "Vietnam", ...] on an Asia-wide SIM, and still arrives as a single row.

Core Fields

Field	Type	Description
provider	string	eSIM provider/brand name (e.g. "Airalo")
name	string	Plan name (e.g. "Change - 3 GB")
country	string	The destination, from the ones you selected, this plan was matched under (display name). A plan sold for several of your destinations is listed under the first one and names the rest in coverage
countrySlug	string	eSIMDB slug for that destination (e.g. "usa", "japan")
url	string	Source page URL on eSIMDB
providerSlug	string	eSIMDB provider slug
planId	string	eSIMDB plan identifier. Unique within a run — the same plan is never returned, or billed, twice

Data & Validity

Field	Type	Description
data	string	Raw data allowance as shown ("3GB", "Unlimited", "3GB/day + unlimited at 1Mbps")
dataGB	number	Flat data allowance in GB; null for unlimited, per-day, or unparseable plans
totalDataGB	number	Total data across the plan's full validity in GB — the number minData filters on; null for truly unlimited plans
validity	string	Raw validity as shown ("30 days", or "Unlimited" on plans that never expire)
validityDays	integer	Parsed validity in whole days; blank on plans that never expire, which have no end date to count to
canTopUp	boolean	Whether the plan can be topped up

Pricing

Field	Type	Description
price	number	Headline price, in the currency named by currency
currency	string	Currency the headline price is really in: your preferred currency where the provider publishes one, otherwise USD
usdPrice	number	Canonical USD price for sorting and comparison
prices	object	The provider's full published price map (USD plus EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD and others where listed)
pricePerGB	number	USD price divided by totalDataGB, so a 1 GB/day plan and a flat 30 GB plan are priced on the same scale; blank on truly unlimited plans, which have no data total to divide by

Promo

Field	Type	Description
promoPrice	number	Discounted USD price when a promo applies
promoCode	string	Active promo/discount code (e.g. "ESIMDB15")

Coverage & Network

Field	Type	Description
coverage	string[]	Every country the plan is sold for, straight from eSIMDB's own regional listings — 2 to 224 countries, median 15. Normally null when eSIMDB publishes no country list for that plan, which is most single-destination SIMs; expect roughly 1 in 8 plans filled on a single popular destination and 4 in 5 on a European one. On the rare run where eSIMDB will not hand over its country lists, the run says so in its log and summary, and coverage is blank throughout — that blank means "we could not look it up", not "no countries listed"
network	string	Underlying carrier network(s), e.g. "KDDI (5G), Softbank (5G)". Published for ~80% of plans; null when the provider does not name its carriers
networkTypes	string[]	Network generations (e.g. "5G", "4G/LTE")
has5G	boolean	Whether the plan supports 5G
tethering	boolean	Whether hotspot/tethering is allowed
voiceSms	boolean / string	Voice and SMS support
maxSpeed	string	Peak speed cap. Rarely disclosed — stated on only ~3% of plans, null otherwise
reducedSpeed	string	Throttled speed after the data cap (e.g. "1000 kbps"). Stated on ~1 in 5 plans

Tips for Best Results

• Start small, and treat maxResults: 0 with respect — set maxResults to 100 on your first run to confirm the data fits your needs, then scale up; a single destination can hold over 10,000 plans. Leaving the cap at 0 returns every matching plan and bills for each one, which runs into many thousands of results on a broad country selection or a providers-only sweep of all 37 destinations.
• Pull a brand's whole global catalog — leave countries empty and pick one or more providers to sweep every destination for those brands; maxResults still caps the run, so start at a few hundred.
• Leave providers empty to pull a whole catalog — select only destinations and skip the providers field to capture every brand's plans, then filter locally however you like.
• Combine country and provider for the cheapest run — pairing a destination with a brand (e.g. Japan + Airalo) returns a tight, precise set instead of a full catalog.
• Compare per-day plans on totalDataGB — a 0.5 GB/day plan for 3 days and a flat 20 GB plan look nothing alike in the data column; totalDataGB puts both on the same scale, and it is the field minData measures against.
• Sort on pricePerGB, not headline price — the cheapest sticker price is rarely the best value; pricePerGB divides the USD price by totalDataGB, so per-day and flat plans rank against each other honestly. Truly unlimited plans leave it blank on purpose, since there is no data total to divide by; rank those on usdPrice per day instead.
• Filter on currency, do the maths on usdPrice — a plan's headline price uses your preferred currency only where the provider publishes one (euro prices cover roughly a fifth of the catalogue), so read currency to see which one each row is in; usdPrice is filled on every plan and is the reliable key for sorting and ranking.
• Use coverage to separate regional SIMs from local ones — a filled coverage list is eSIMDB's own country list for that plan, so a row naming 40 countries is a regional SIM you can sell to a multi-country trip, while a null normally means eSIMDB lists no countries beyond the destination itself. Check the run summary first: if it reports that eSIMDB would not serve its country lists that run, read the blanks as unknown rather than empty.
• Watch promoCode for affiliate value — plans with a live promo code and promoPrice are the ones worth featuring to a deal-seeking audience.

Pricing

From $2.00 per 1,000 results — among the most competitive rates for structured eSIM plan data. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.24	$0.225	$0.21	$0.20
1,000	$2.40	$2.25	$2.10	$2.00
