Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Clutch.co Company Scraper Scrape company data from Clutch.co — names, ratings, pricing, location, phone, website URLs.

Use lead scores to prioritize outreach. * **Competitor Analysis** — Compare companies side-by-side on rating, pricing, services, and lead score. * **Market Research** — Get category summaries: avg pricing, rating distribution, top services, geographic concentration. * **Sales Prospecting** — Get phone numbers, websites, and social media links to reach decision-makers. * **Vendor Selection** — Use review insights and verification data to evaluate service providers. ### How to use 1. **Set category URLs** — Provide one or more Clutch.co directory page URLs (e.g., `https://clutch.co/web-developers`). 2. **Configure pagination** — Set how many pages to scrape per category. Default is 5 pages. 3. **Enable profile details** — Turn on `scrapeDetails` to get full descriptions, social media, locations, verification, and focus charts. 4. **Enable reviews** — Turn on `scrapeReviews` to extract client reviews with ratings, feedback, and project details. 5. **Use keyword search** — Set `searchQuery` to search Clutch.co by keyword instead of categories. 6. **Compare companies** — Add 2-5 profile URLs to `compareUrls` for side-by-side comparison. 7. **Run and export** — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Category summary and comparison reports are saved in key-value store. ### Input example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://clutch.co/web-developers" }, { "url": "https://clutch.co/it-services" } ], "maxPages": 5, "scrapeDetails": true, "scrapeReviews": true, "enableSummary": true, "searchQuery": "", "compareUrls": [] } ```` ### Output example ```json { "clutchId": "1234567", "name": "Acme IT Solutions", "profileUrl": "https://clutch.co/profile/example-company", "websiteUrl": "https://www.example-company.com/", "phone": "(555) 123-4567", "rating": 4.9, "reviewCount": 26, "minProjectSize": "$1,000+", "hourlyRate": "$150 - $199 / hr", "employees": "50 - 249", "location": "San Francisco, CA", "services": ["50% IT Managed Services", "30% Cybersecurity"], "tagline": "Acme IT Solutions is a managed services provider...", "leadScore": 83, "description": "Acme IT Solutions is your organization's trusted IT Partner.", "isVerified": true, "verificationStatus": "Verified", "founded": "2003", "socialMedia": [ {"type": "linkedin", "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example-company/"}, {"type": "facebook", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/examplecompany/"} ], "locations": [ { "name": "Headquarters", "address": "123 Main Street Suite 100 San Francisco, CA 94105", "employees": "10 - 15", "telephone": "(555) 123-4567" } ], "businessVerification": { "entityName": "Acme IT Solutions LLC", "entityStatus": "Active", "jurisdiction": "Delaware", "dateOfFormation": "May 19, 2020" }, "focusChart": { "Service Lines": [ {"name": "IT Managed Services", "percent": 50}, {"name": "Cybersecurity", "percent": 30} ], "Focus": [ {"name": "CMMC Compliance Consulting", "percent": 30}, {"name": "HIPAA Compliance Consulting", "percent": 30} ] }, "reviews": [ { "title": "Managed IT Services for Healthcare Company", "rating": 5.0, "datePublished": "Jul 17, 2024", "quote": "\"We met regularly to address any issues...\"", "feedback": "Acme IT Solutions helped the client migrate...", "project": {"category": "IT Managed Services"}, "reviewer": {"title": "Operations Manager, Healthcare Company", "verified": true} } ], "reviewInsights": { "topMentions": ["Timely (9)", "Communicative (5)", "Knowledgeable (4)"] } } ``` ### Category Summary (saved to key-value store) After each run, a market analysis report is automatically saved: ```json { "totalCompanies": 91, "averageRating": 4.87, "medianRating": 4.9, "ratingDistribution": {"5.0": 15, "4.5-4.9": 44, "4.0-4.4": 1}, "topLocations": [{"location": "New York, NY", "count": 4}], "topServices": [{"service": "IT Managed Services", "count": 45}], "employeeDistribution": [{"range": "50-249", "count": 31}], "averageLeadScore": 48.6, "topLeads": [{"name": "Example Tech Company", "leadScore": 78}] } ``` ### Supported categories Any Clutch.co directory page works. Popular categories include: - `/web-developers` — Web Development Companies - `/it-services` — IT Services & Support - `/agencies/digital-marketing` — Digital Marketing Agencies - `/agencies/seo` — SEO Companies - `/developers/mobile-application` — Mobile App Developers - `/agencies/ui-ux-design` — UI/UX Design Agencies - `/agencies/ppc` — PPC Agencies You can also use filtered URLs like `/us/web-developers` (US only) or `/web-developers?budget_min=10000`. ### Tips - Start without `scrapeDetails` to get data faster. Enable it only when you need the full picture. - Use `scrapeReviews` for vendor evaluation and sentiment analysis. - Use `compareUrls` to quickly evaluate 2-5 shortlisted vendors. - The category summary is perfect for market reports and presentations. - Lead scores help you prioritize which companies to contact first. - Use Apify proxy for best results (configured by default). - The scraper handles Cloudflare protection automatically. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): List of Clutch.co directory/category page URLs to scrape.
