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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## TrustRadius Scraper Scrape TrustRadius software review pages from direct URLs, TrustRadius search queries, curated popular categories, or arbitrary category URLs. ### What it extracts - Product title and description - Vendor and pricing details - Aggregate ratings and review counts - Award badges - Feature list - Top review snippets - Top-performing features - Areas for improvement - Related products ### Modes - **Product URLs** — direct review URLs (`/products//reviews`). - **Search queries** — TrustRadius full-text search. - **Popular category** — curated dropdown of 29 top TrustRadius categories. - **Category URLs** — free-text any of the ~260 supported category slugs (e.g. `/categories/ai-chatbot`). ### Inputs | Input | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `productUrls` | array | Direct review URLs | | `searchQueries` | array | Free-text search keywords | | `categorySlug` | enum | Curated popular category (optional) | | `categoryUrls` | array | Free-text category URLs | | `searchPages` | integer | Pages per query/category (1–20) | | `maxItems` | integer | Cap on emitted products (1–500) | | `useProxy` | boolean | Apify proxy (default: on; needed for cloud) | | `autoEscalateOnBlock` | boolean | Rotate proxy sessions on block (default: on) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify proxy configuration (default: residential) | ### Use cases - B2B software review monitoring - TrustRadius competitor analysis - Category-level software research - Pricing and review intelligence ### Limitations - TrustRadius blocks most datacenter IPs, so the default prefill enables Apify residential proxy. - The full per-product review pagination ("all reviews") feed is not fully exposed without a logged-in session cookie. We surface the schema.org top-5 review snippets only. - Sort order is not user-selectable; TrustRadius search returns relevance-ranked results only. ### Notes - This actor uses `curl_cffi` impersonation and stays browser-free. - Empty values are omitted from output. # Actor input Schema ## `productUrls` (type: `array`): Direct TrustRadius product review URLs, such as https://www.trustradius.com/products/asana/reviews. ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Keywords to run against TrustRadius search. ## `categorySlug` (type: `string`): (Optional) Browse a curated TrustRadius category. Use `categoryUrls` for any category not in this list. ## `categoryUrls` (type: `array`): Free-text TrustRadius category URLs (use this for any of the 260+ categories not in the popular dropdown), e.g. https://www.trustradius.com/categories/ai-chatbot. ## `searchPages` (type: `integer`): How many TrustRadius result pages to scan per search query / category. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted TrustRadius products. ## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`): TrustRadius blocks most datacenter IPs. Keep proxy enabled for cloud runs. ## `autoEscalateOnBlock` (type: `boolean`): If TrustRadius starts returning blocks, rotate proxy session IDs automatically. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential Apify proxy recommended for TrustRadius cloud runs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "productUrls": [ "https://www.trustradius.com/products/asana/reviews" ], "searchQueries": [], "categorySlug": "", "categoryUrls": [], "searchPages": 1, "maxItems": 25, "useProxy": true, "autoEscalateOnBlock": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `software` (type: `string`): Dataset containing TrustRadius software review records. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
