Tips for best results

• Start small -- use the prefilled input (10 companies) for your first run to verify the data matches your needs.
• Use specific category URLs -- Clutch has 1,100+ categories. Browse Clutch.co to find the most relevant one, then paste that URL.
• Location filtering -- Clutch supports location-filtered URLs like https://clutch.co/agencies/seo/san-francisco. Use these for geo-targeted results.
• Schedule regular runs -- company ratings, reviews, and rankings change frequently. Set up weekly or monthly scrapes to track trends.
• Combine with other data -- use the clutchUrl field to cross-reference with other sources, or the phone field for outreach.
• Monitor costs -- each page yields ~80 companies. A 100-company scrape costs about $0.51 on the Starter plan.

Is it legal to scrape Clutch.co?

Scraping publicly available data from Clutch.co is generally legal. This actor only extracts information that is publicly visible to any visitor of the website -- company names, ratings, reviews, and contact details that businesses have chosen to publish.

We follow ethical scraping practices:

• Only public data is collected (no login required)
• Requests are rate-limited to avoid overloading servers
• Data is used for legitimate business purposes (lead generation, market research, procurement)

For GDPR compliance, ensure you have a lawful basis for processing any personal data (such as phone numbers) in your jurisdiction.

Legality

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal according to the US Court of Appeals ruling (HiQ Labs v. LinkedIn). This actor only accesses publicly available information and does not require authentication. Always review and comply with the target website's Terms of Service before scraping. For personal data, ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations.

FAQ

How fast is the Clutch.co Scraper? Each page of results (~80 companies) takes about 10-15 seconds to scrape, including Cloudflare challenge handling. A typical 100-company scrape finishes in under 60 seconds.

How does this compare to the official Clutch.co API? Clutch.co does not offer a public API. This scraper extracts the same data visible on the website and structures it as clean JSON for programmatic use.

Why are some fields null (website, focusAreas, founded)? These fields are only available on individual company profile pages, not on listing pages. Enable the "Scrape company details" option to visit each profile and fill in these fields (this makes runs slower).

Why am I getting fewer results than expected? Some Clutch.co categories have fewer listings than the maxResults you set. The scraper will return all available results up to your limit. Also check that your URL is a valid Clutch.co category or search page.

Why did my run fail with a timeout? Cloudflare protection can occasionally block requests even with residential proxy. Try running again -- the proxy will use a different IP address. If failures persist, reduce maxResults.
