GoodFirms Scraper - IT Company & Agency Leads

---

🚀 Why scrape GoodFirms?

GoodFirms.co ranks tens of thousands of software development, mobile app, web design, digital marketing, AI and IT-services companies worldwide — each with hourly rate, team size, founded year, location, rating and reviews. A single country/service directory can list 4,000+ companies across ~100 pages.

This GoodFirms scraper reads those server-rendered firm cards and paginates the whole result set, so one run becomes:

🎯 a B2B lead engine — agency / IT-vendor outreach lists with website, location, size & rate — and 📊 a market-intelligence dataset — map vendors by service, country, price band & rating for competitor research and sourcing.

---

✨ What you get

🏢 Company Name, website, GoodFirms profile URL, tagline / short description, and listed service focus.

💵 Firmographics Hourly rate band, min project size, team / employee size and founded year — qualify vendors fast.

📍 Location & trust City + region / country, plus the GoodFirms rating and review count as a quality signal.

❓ FAQ

Is this a GoodFirms API alternative?

Yes. GoodFirms has no public company API, so this actor works as an unofficial GoodFirms API alternative — it reads the public directory pages directly and returns structured company records, no API key required.

How do I export GoodFirms data to CSV or JSON?

Run the actor on your directory URLs, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or pull it from the Apify API. Every company-leads row (name, website, hourly rate, team size, rating, reviews) is included in the GoodFirms data export.

Can I scrape GoodFirms without an API or login?

Yes — this is a GoodFirms company data extraction tool that needs no login and no token. It reads server-rendered firm cards from public directory pages, so you can scrape GoodFirms without an API.
