Capterra Scraper

Scrape rich software-product data from Capterra using the shared Gartner Digital Markets catalog behind Capterra and GetApp. This actor is designed for real-data product pages and broad product-name searches that resolve to those pages.

What It Scrapes

Each emitted product can include:

• Product identity: productId, slug, name, url, reviewsUrl
• Product summary: tagline, description, overview, logo
• Ratings: rating, reviewCount
• Pricing: startingPrice, pricingModel, priceCurrency, pricePeriodicity, freeTrial, freeVersion, pricingPlans, licensingModel
• Taxonomy and capabilities: categories, primaryCategory, features, featureCount, integrations, integrationsCount, platforms, supportOptions, trainingOptions, typicalCustomers
• Sentiment summaries: pros, cons
• Vendor details: vendorName, vendorCity, vendorState, vendorCountry, vendorWebsite, vendorFoundedYear

Only fields with real values are emitted. Empty placeholders are omitted.

Input

Mode: byProductUrls

Provide one or more direct product URLs such as:

{
  "mode": "byProductUrls",
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/",
    "https://www.capterra.com/p/228385/Notion/"
  ],
  "maxItems": 3
}

Mode: bySearchQueries

Provide broad positive-yield queries. The actor resolves them to public Capterra product pages first, then scrapes those products.

{
  "mode": "bySearchQueries",
  "searchQueries": [
    "Slack",
    "Notion"
  ],
  "maxItems": 3
}

Output Notes

• Output is product-level metadata, not full individual-review text.
• Product data is sourced from the shared Gartner Digital Markets catalog that powers Capterra and GetApp.
• URL fields point back to the original Capterra product page when available.

Reliability Notes

• The actor uses Google SERP proxy to resolve public product pages and GetApp equivalents.
• Product-detail fetches use residential proxy rotation when needed.
• The actor is tuned for positive real-data product runs, which makes it suitable for Apify daily smoke tests.

FAQ

Why doesn’t the actor scrape Capterra HTML directly?

Capterra is heavily protected. The shared Gartner Digital Markets product catalog is much more stable to extract through the GetApp side of the stack while still returning Capterra product metadata.

Does it return fake fallback records?

No. If a product cannot be resolved, it is skipped. The actor only emits real resolved products.

Can it scrape category pages or all reviews?

Not in this version. This actor focuses on reliable product-level metadata and product resolution by URL or search query.
