Trustpilot Company Search Scraper

Search Trustpilot by keyword and export ranked public company cards for reputation-market mapping, prospect research, and competitive analysis.

The Actor turns each trustpilot company search into structured records with business names, profile URLs, domains, TrustScores, review counts, categories, location fields, and card status fields when Trustpilot exposes them.

It searches public pages without requiring a Trustpilot login.

What does this Actor do?

Give the Actor one or more phrases such as:

• accounting software
• coffee roasters
• reputation management software

It visits the corresponding Trustpilot search result pages, follows pagination, and saves unique company cards to the default Apify dataset.

The output preserves the originating query and rank so you can compare different markets or repeated runs.

This Actor discovers companies. It does not download individual customer reviews.

Who is it for?

Market researchers

Map which companies appear for an industry, product, or buyer-intent phrase and compare their public reputation signals.

Sales and partnerships teams

Build source-attributed company lists with public domains and Trustpilot profile links for later qualification.

Reputation teams

Track the company landscape around recurring queries by scheduling the same input and comparing datasets over time.

Data teams

Feed normalized Trustpilot company cards into a spreadsheet, warehouse, CRM staging table, or BI workflow.

Why use it?

• Search by company, product, industry, category, or location phrase.
• Keep Trustpilot's ranked result order.
• Collect card fields without fetching every review page.
• Apply minimum TrustScore and review-count filters.
• Deduplicate the same company across queries.
• Stop at a predictable global result limit.
• Export through Apify as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.
• Schedule recurring searches with standard Apify tooling.

What data can I extract?

Field	Meaning
query	Search phrase that produced the card
position	Accepted result rank within that query
businessId	Stable Trustpilot business identifier
name	Public company display name
domain	Domain identifying the company profile
profileUrl	Canonical Trustpilot company profile URL
trustScore	Public TrustScore, or null when absent
stars	Star value exposed by the card
reviewCount	Public review count shown for the company
categories	Exposed business categories
location	Address, city, postal code, and country when exposed
isClaimed	Claimed status when the source exposes it
isVerified	Verification status when the source exposes it
logoUrl	Public logo URL when available
sourceUrl	Exact search page used
scrapedAt	UTC extraction timestamp

Source fields can be absent or null when Trustpilot does not expose them on a particular card.

How to search Trustpilot companies

1. Open the Actor input page.
2. Add one or more real phrases to Search queries.
3. Set Maximum companies to the largest dataset you need.
4. Optionally set a minimum TrustScore or review count.
5. Start the run.
6. Open the Trustpilot companies dataset view.
7. Export the records or connect the dataset to your next workflow.

Start with a small result limit while designing filters. Raise the limit after confirming that the query returns the market you expect.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	['reputation management software']	One to 20 phrases searched on Trustpilot
maxItems	integer	100	Global maximum of unique companies, from 1 to 1,000
minTrustScore	number	0	Keep scores from this value through 5
minReviewCount	integer	0	Keep companies with at least this many reviews

Basic input

{
  "searchQueries": ["accounting software"],
  "maxItems": 25
}

Filtered market map

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "reputation management software",
    "review management platform",
    "customer feedback software"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "minTrustScore": 3.5,
  "minReviewCount": 20
}

Filters are applied before a record is saved or charged. The result limit applies across all queries in the run.

Output example

A current public search can produce a record shaped like this:

{
  "query": "software",
  "position": 1,
  "businessId": "iremove.tools",
  "name": "iCloud Unlock (Bypass) - iRemove Software",
  "domain": "iremove.tools",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.trustpilot.com/review/iremove.tools",
  "trustScore": 4.5,
  "stars": 4.5,
  "reviewCount": 4881,
  "categories": ["Software company"],
  "location": {
    "address": null,
    "city": null,
    "zipCode": null,
    "country": null
  },
  "isClaimed": null,
  "isVerified": null,
  "logoUrl": null,
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.trustpilot.com/search?query=software&page=1",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-15T20:20:00.000Z"
}

Values change as Trustpilot updates its search index and company reputation data. Do not treat the example as a current endorsement or ranking.

How much does it cost to search Trustpilot companies?

Pay-per-event pricing has two parts:

• $0.005 when a run starts.
• $0.004 per saved company on the BRONZE tier.

Filters and duplicates are not charged as companies because they are not saved.

Example BRONZE prices:

Saved companies	Estimated price
1	$0.009
10	$0.045
25	$0.105
100	$0.405

Higher subscription tiers receive the tier prices shown on the Actor page. Apify platform usage is included in pay-per-event pricing rather than added as a separate customer bill.

Pagination, ranking, and deduplication

The Actor begins with page one for each query. It follows additional result pages only while more accepted records are needed.

position is the accepted rank for a query after applying your filters. This makes filtered lists easy to scan.

A stable Trustpilot business ID is used for deduplication. If one company appears in several queries, the first accepted occurrence is saved.

Run separate inputs when you need an independent ranking table for every query without cross-query deduplication.

Reliability and proxy behavior

Trustpilot protects its public pages with a connection challenge. The Actor uses an Apify proxy-backed browser session, preserves cookies and proxy identity, and retries one challenged request with a fresh session.

Concurrency is deliberately conservative to reduce challenge rates. A run fails visibly if all bounded session attempts are blocked. It does not return a misleading successful empty dataset for a transport failure.

A valid query with no matching source cards or filters can complete with zero items.

Limits and troubleshooting

My run returns fewer companies than maxItems

The source may have fewer matching cards, filters may reject cards, or duplicate companies may appear across queries. Try a broader phrase or lower minTrustScore and minReviewCount.

My run fails with a Trustpilot search error

The source challenge was not cleared within the bounded retries. Run the same small input later. Persistent failures should be reported with the Apify run URL, not copied browser cookies.

A field is null

Trustpilot does not expose every field for every search card. The Actor intentionally uses null rather than inventing values or fetching unrelated private data.

Why is the result order different from my browser?

Trustpilot may vary results by time, locale, source updates, and its own ranking logic. The Actor records the exact source URL and extraction timestamp for auditing.

Schedule recurring market maps

Create an Apify Schedule using a stable query set. Store each run's dataset ID and compare records by businessId.

Useful changes to track include:

• newly appearing companies;
• companies that disappear from the accepted set;
• TrustScore movement;
• review-count growth;
• rank movement for a query;
• category or location changes.

The Actor produces snapshots. It does not send alerts or compute historical changes by itself.

Export to spreadsheets and data pipelines

From the dataset page, download JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.

For automated pipelines:

1. run the Actor;
2. wait for completion;
3. read defaultDatasetId from the run;
4. fetch dataset items through the Apify API;
5. upsert by businessId in your destination.

Keep query, sourceUrl, and scrapedAt as provenance columns.

Use the Apify API with cURL

Replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with your token:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~trustpilot-company-search/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "searchQueries": ["accounting software"],
    "maxItems": 25,
    "minReviewCount": 10
  }'

Fetch the resulting default dataset with the defaultDatasetId returned by the run.

Use the Apify API with JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/trustpilot-company-search').call({
  searchQueries: ['accounting software'],
  maxItems: 25,
  minReviewCount: 10,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Install the client with npm install apify-client.

Use the Apify API with Python

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN'])
run = client.actor('automation-lab/trustpilot-company-search').call(run_input={
    'searchQueries': ['accounting software'],
    'maxItems': 25,
    'minReviewCount': 10,
})

items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)

Install the client with pip install apify-client.

Use with MCP and AI assistants

Add the Actor to Claude Code through Apify MCP:

claude mcp add --transport http apify \
  "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/trustpilot-company-search"

Claude Desktop

Add this server to the Claude Desktop MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/trustpilot-company-search"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add the same apify server URL under Settings → MCP → Add server in Cursor.

VS Code

Add the same JSON server entry to your VS Code MCP configuration, then enable the apify server for the chat session.

Example prompts:

• “Search Trustpilot for accounting software and return 20 companies with at least 50 reviews.”
• “Map coffee roasters on Trustpilot and sort the dataset by TrustScore.”
• “Run three reputation software queries and give me the resulting dataset URL.”

AI assistants should cite profileUrl and scrapedAt when presenting source-derived claims.

Data handling, retention, and AI

The Actor runtime does not use AI or send inputs or scraped data to an AI model provider. The MCP examples above only show how a user can invoke the Actor from an assistant.

Trustpilot receives the public search query and normal browser request metadata. Apify processes proxy traffic, runtime logs, and the output dataset as part of running the Actor. The Actor does not request a Trustpilot account, user cookies, contact details, or private data, and it creates no external database or cache.

Datasets, key-value stores, and logs remain in your Apify account under your configured platform retention settings. Delete the run and its storage through Apify when you no longer need them. Search queries appear in operational logs, so do not submit secrets or confidential personal information as queries.

Responsible use and legality

This Actor accesses public Trustpilot search pages. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Trustpilot.

You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, Trustpilot's terms, Apify's terms, and rules governing your downstream use.

Do not use output for harassment, unlawful discrimination, deceptive outreach, or unsupported claims about a company. Verify important decisions against the live source. Respect personal-data and retention obligations in your jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

Does it scrape individual Trustpilot reviews?

No. It exports company search result cards. For review-level records, use a dedicated reviews Actor.

Does it require a Trustpilot account?

No login or user-supplied cookie is required.

Can I search multiple markets in one run?

Yes. Provide up to 20 queries and use a global maxItems limit.

Can I filter by country?

There is no separate country filter. Include a location in the search phrase when relevant and inspect the public location fields that the source exposes.

Does it monitor changes automatically?

The Actor creates current snapshots. Use Apify Schedules and compare datasets in your own workflow for monitoring.

Are emails and phone numbers included?

No. This product stays at the public company-card level and does not promise detail-page contact enrichment.
