Important: Rate Limiting Considerations

Glassdoor has aggressive anti-scraping measures. To minimize detection:

1. Start slow - Begin with maxResults: 5 and increase gradually
2. Use residential proxies - The actor defaults to residential proxies
3. Space your runs - Wait 30-60 minutes between runs
4. Keep batches small - 10-25 companies per run is optimal
5. Avoid heavy review extraction - Limit maxReviewsPerCompany to 10-25

No Glassdoor account required - This scraper uses public data.

Quick Start

Demo Mode (Free Test)

{
  "demoMode": true
}

Look Up a Company by Website Domain (NEW)

"I want Glassdoor data for Stripe but I don't have their Glassdoor URL."

{
  "companyDomain": "stripe.com",
  "includeReviews": true,
  "includeSalaries": true,
  "maxReviewsPerCompany": 25,
  "demoMode": false
}

You can also pass a full URL — the actor strips it down automatically:

{
  "companyDomain": "https://www.hubspot.com/products/crm",
  "demoMode": false
}

This gets normalized to hubspot.com and resolved to the correct Glassdoor page.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a Glassdoor account?

A: No. This scraper uses public Glassdoor data. No login required.

Q: How does domain lookup work?

A: When you provide companyDomain (e.g., stripe.com), the actor searches Google for the matching Glassdoor page using site:glassdoor.com/Overview "stripe.com". If found, it navigates directly. If not, it falls back to searching Glassdoor by the company name extracted from the domain.

Q: What if domain lookup finds the wrong company?

A: For well-known companies it's highly accurate. For obscure companies, use companyName or companyUrl for more control.

Q: Why are some salary fields missing?

A: Not all companies have enough salary submissions for Glassdoor to display data. This is a Glassdoor data limitation.

Q: Can I filter reviews by current vs. former employees?

A: Yes. Use reviewFilter: "current_employees" or reviewFilter: "former_employees".

Q: How is the company URL formatted?

A: Glassdoor URLs include an employer ID: https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-{Company}-EI_IE{ID}.htm. Or just use companyDomain with the company website and skip finding the URL entirely.

Q: Can I track rating changes over time?

A: Schedule monthly runs and compare the overallRating and sub-ratings. The scraper captures the current state each time it runs.

Q: Is demo mode on by default?

A: Yes, demoMode defaults to true so new users don't accidentally incur charges. Set "demoMode": false when you want real data.

Common Problems & Solutions

Problem	Solution
Empty results	Enable residential proxies. Glassdoor blocks datacenter IPs.
"Company not found"	Try companyDomain or companyName instead. Some small companies aren't indexed.
Rate limited or blocked	Wait 30-60 minutes between runs. Reduce maxResults to 5-10.
Wrong company returned	Use companyUrl for exact targeting instead of name/domain search.
Reviews seem limited	Glassdoor hides some reviews from non-logged-in users. Try reviewFilter: "all".
Demo data showing	Set demoMode: false — no account required.
Webhook not received	Check your webhook URL is publicly accessible. Test with demo mode first.
Timeout errors	Reduce maxResults and maxReviewsPerCompany.
