Glassdoor Company Overview Scraper

Extract a company's full Glassdoor overview — ratings, company profile, and review/salary counts — from a company URL or employer ID. One result = one company.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, and no API key required
• Full rating breakdown: overall, culture, work-life balance, compensation, leadership, CEO approval, recommend-to-friend
• Company profile: industry, size, headquarters, website, and description
• Review and salary counts so you can size each company's data footprint
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, dashboards, or databases
• Automatic retries and IP switching if a request is temporarily blocked

How it works

1. You give the actor one or more companies — a Glassdoor company page link (Overview or Reviews) or just the employer ID number.
2. The actor opens each company's overview and reads the full profile and rating breakdown.
3. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't manage scrapers, browsers, or retries — the actor handles all of that.
