Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## PeerSpot Scraper Scrape [PeerSpot](https://www.peerspot.com) — the largest B2B technology review platform — for crowdsourced category rankings, single-product review summaries, and head-to-head product comparisons. No login, no API key, no cookies required. ### What this actor does - **Browse a category** — get the full crowdsourced ranking for any of PeerSpot's 700+ software categories (CRM, ERP, Endpoint Protection, Firewalls, Cloud Security, Business Intelligence, and hundreds more), each with rating, review count, and engagement stats. - **Fetch a single product** — pull a product's rating, review count, vendor, category ranking, recommend-percentage, and AI-summarized pros/cons. - **Compare two products** — fetch both products' review summaries side by side, plus the rating gap and (when available) a link to PeerSpot's own comparison page. - **Sort ranked lists** by PeerSpot's crowdsourced rank, by rating, or by review count. - **Empty fields are always omitted** — every record only contains data PeerSpot actually published. ### Output fields #### Category browse mode (`mode=byCategory`) | Field | Description | |---|---| | `rank` | Position in PeerSpot's crowdsourced ranking (or re-ordered per `sortBy`) | | `productName`, `productSlug`, `productUrl` | Product identity | | `rating` | Average rating (0–10 scale used on category pages) | | `reviewCount` | Number of verified reviews | | `wordsPerReview` | Average review length | | `views` | Page view count | | `categoryComparisons` | Number of times this product appears in comparison searches | | `description` | Short AI-generated summary of typical use cases | | `logoUrl` | Vendor logo | | `category`, `categorySlug` | The category being browsed | #### Single-product mode (`mode=byProduct`) | Field | Description | |---|---| | `productName`, `productSlug`, `productUrl` | Product identity | | `vendor` | Publisher / vendor name | | `description` | Product summary | | `rating`, `reviewCount`, `ratingScale` | e.g. `4.2` reviews on a `1-5` scale | | `primaryCategory`, `primaryCategorySlug` | Main PeerSpot category | | `recommendPercent` | % of reviewers willing to recommend (sentiment-derived) | | `rankingSummary` | Free-text ranking sentence (e.g. "X is first in Y, Z...") — only present when the product currently holds a top rank | | `pros` | AI-summarized "Valuable Features" | | `cons` | AI-summarized "Room for Improvement" | | `roiSummary` | AI-summarized return-on-investment takeaways from reviewer feedback | | `pricingSummary` | AI-summarized pricing/cost takeaways, including real price-range quotes when reviewers mention them | | `useCasesSummary` | AI-summarized "Popular Use Cases" | | `serviceSupportSummary` | AI-summarized vendor service & support quality feedback | | `mindsharePercent`, `mindshareCategory` | PeerSpot's crowdsourced "mindshare" (relative engagement share) within its primary category, and the category it's measured against | | `companySizeBreakdown` | Reviewer count broken down by company size (Small Business / Midsize Enterprise / Large Enterprise) | | `logoUrl` | Vendor logo | > `roiSummary`, `pricingSummary`, `useCasesSummary`, `serviceSupportSummary`, `mindsharePercent`/`mindshareCategory`, and `companySizeBreakdown` are only present when PeerSpot has published enough reviews to generate that section — low-review products may omit some of these. #### Comparison mode (`mode=compare`) | Field | Description | |---|---| | `productA`, `productB` | Full single-product records (see above) for each side | | `ratingDifference` | `productA.rating - productB.rating`, when both have a rating | | `moreReviewedProduct` | Name of whichever product has more reviews | | `comparisonUrl` | PeerSpot's own `/products/comparisons/a_vs_b` page, when it exists | | `comparisonSummary` | PeerSpot's own AI-generated "Comparison Buyer's Guide" — features, room for improvement, deployment/support, and pricing/ROI compared side by side. Only present when PeerSpot has published a comparison page for this exact pair | All records include `recordType` and `scrapedAt`. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | select | `byCategory` | `byCategory` / `byProduct` / `compare` | | `categorySlug` | select | `crm` | PeerSpot category (mode=byCategory) — 700+ curated options | | `sortBy` | select | `rank` | `rank` / `rating` / `reviews` (mode=byCategory) | | `productSlug` | string | `microsoft-dynamics-crm` | Product slug or full URL (mode=byProduct) | | `productSlugA` | string | `microsoft-dynamics-crm` | First product (mode=compare) | | `productSlugB` | string | `salesforce-sales-cloud` | Second product (mode=compare) | | `maxItems` | int | `50` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–500, mode=byCategory) | | `minRating` | number | — | Only return products rated at or above this value, 0–10 scale (mode=byCategory). Products with no published rating are excluded when set | | `minReviews` | int | — | Only return products with at least this many reviews (mode=byCategory). Products with no published review count are excluded when set | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | AUTO | Only engaged automatically on 403/429; not required for normal use | #### Example: browse the CRM category sorted by rating ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "categorySlug": "crm", "sortBy": "rating", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: browse top-rated, well-reviewed CRM products only ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "categorySlug": "crm", "sortBy": "rating", "minRating": 8, "minReviews": 20, "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: fetch a single product ```json { "mode": "byProduct", "productSlug": "microsoft-dynamics-crm" } ``` #### Example: compare two products ```json { "mode": "compare", "productSlugA": "microsoft-dynamics-crm", "productSlugB": "salesforce-sales-cloud" } ``` ### Use cases - **Vendor research** — pull the top-ranked products in any software category before a buying decision. - **Competitive intelligence** — track how your product's rating, review count, and rank move over time. - **Sales enablement** — generate battlecards from head-to-head product comparisons. - **Market mapping** — enumerate every vendor across a technology category (endpoint security, cloud storage, BI tools, etc.). - **Content research** — source real user pros/cons for buyer's-guide articles. ### FAQ **Do I need to log in or provide an API key?** No. All three modes work against PeerSpot's public pages. **How many categories are supported?** 700+, extracted directly from PeerSpot's own category index and kept as a dropdown so you never have to guess a slug. **How many products does a category return?** Whatever PeerSpot's ranked list contains — anywhere from a handful to 60+ depending on category size. The actor returns the full ranked list up to `maxItems`. **Why do some ranked products have no `rating` field?** PeerSpot omits the rating stat for products with too few reviews to compute one; the actor never fabricates a value, so the field is simply absent. **What does `rankingSummary` mean?** PeerSpot displays a badge sentence (e.g. "X is first in Category Y") only for products that currently hold a top rank in at least one category. Most products won't have this field. **Is a comparison page always available?** No — PeerSpot only publishes comparison pages for product pairs users have actually searched for. When one doesn't exist, `comparisonUrl` is simply omitted; the two products' individual data is still returned in full. **How fresh is the data?** PeerSpot recomputes rankings and stats monthly from ongoing user reviews; ratings and review counts reflect the live page at scrape time. **Does this include pricing data?** PeerSpot doesn't publish a structured price list, but most well-reviewed products have a `pricingSummary` — an AI-generated summary of what reviewers say about cost and pricing model, including real quoted price ranges when reviewers mention them. **What is `mindsharePercent`?** PeerSpot's own crowdsourced measure of how much reviewer/visitor engagement a product captures relative to its competitors in the same category, expressed as a percentage. Only published for products with enough category-level engagement data. **Can I filter out low-rated or barely-reviewed products?** Yes — use `minRating` and/or `minReviews` on `mode=byCategory`. Both are applied after PeerSpot's own ranking is fetched, so `rank` still reflects the product's true position even when the list is filtered. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch from PeerSpot. ## `categorySlug` (type: `string`): PeerSpot product category to browse. Returns the full crowdsourced ranking for that category. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): How to order the ranked product list within the chosen category (mode=byCategory). ## `productSlug` (type: `string`): A PeerSpot product slug (e.g. `microsoft-dynamics-crm`) or full product URL (e.g. `https://www.peerspot.com/products/microsoft-dynamics-crm-reviews`). ## `productSlugA` (type: `string`): First product to compare (slug or full URL). ## `productSlugB` (type: `string`): Second product to compare (slug or full URL). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted records (applies to mode=byCategory; other modes emit at most 1-2 records). ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Only return products with a rating at or above this value (0-10 scale). Products with no published rating are excluded when this filter is set. Leave empty for no filter. ## `minReviews` (type: `integer`): Only return products with at least this many verified reviews. Products with no published review count are excluded when this filter is set. Leave empty for no filter. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): PeerSpot is publicly accessible without a proxy. The actor automatically escalates to Apify's free AUTO datacenter proxy only if it hits a 403/429 response. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "categorySlug": "crm", "sortBy": "rank", "productSlug": "microsoft-dynamics-crm", "productSlugA": "microsoft-dynamics-crm", "productSlugB": "salesforce-sales-cloud", "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped PeerSpot records (ranked products, product detail, or comparisons). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
