How to scrape 50/50 Women on Boards step by step

1. Paste one or more directory URLs into Start URLs, or type company names into Search queries.
2. Optionally pick filters such as Sector, State, or 50/50 rating for your search queries.
3. Set Maximum number of results to how many companies you want per URL or per query.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab.

Input

• Start URLs: 50/50 Women on Boards directory URLs, for example https://5050wob.org/directory/?sector=Technology. Any filters you apply in the directory search form (company name, ticker, city, sector, state, exchange, rating, number of women, % of women, board members) are kept in the results. Older 5050wob.com directory links also work.
• Search queries: company names to search in the directory, one per line. Each query is scraped separately.
• Maximum number of results: how many companies to collect for each start URL or search query.
• Sector, State, City, Exchange, 50/50 rating: only keep companies that match these values.
• Minimum women on board, Minimum % of women on board, Minimum board members: only keep companies that reach these numbers.

The filters apply to search queries only. Start URLs keep the filters already in the URL. You can use start URLs, search queries, or both in the same run.

Scrape all Technology companies from the directory:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://5050wob.org/directory/?sector=Technology" }],

}

{
  "searchQueries": ["bank"],

{
  "url": "https://5050wob.org/directory/?ticker=ADBE",
  "companyName": "Adobe Inc.",

Notes

• Only directory pages are supported. Other pages of the website are skipped.
• The Minimum women on board, Minimum % of women on board, and Minimum board members filters work as "at least", the same as the directory search form.
• The industry is only listed for a small number of companies, so it is usually null.
• The country is taken from the end of the address and is null when the address ends with a postal code.
• A few large companies appear twice in the directory with different figures. Both rows are kept exactly as the website shows them.
• Results follow the directory order, which is alphabetical by company name.
