Clutch Scraper for Apify — scrape Clutch.co agency directories into clean JSON without a public Clutch API. Extract company name, rating, review count, hourly rate, min project size, team size, location, service mix, verification, sponsored vs organic rank, website, and optional client reviews.

Built for agency business development (competitor maps, ranking, review-mined buyer context) and procurement shortlists (filters on rating, reviews, verified, budget bands). This Actor does not hunt emails on company websites. Run from the Console or with Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP / AI assistants. A practical Clutch API alternative.

When to use this Actor

• You need a Clutch scraper for a category or location directory (/web-developers, /us/agencies/digital-marketing)
• You want organic rank vs sponsored cards for competitor mapping
• You are building a procurement shortlist (min rating, min reviews, verified only)
• You need client reviews with project size, rating breakdown, and reviewer industry/location — not contact emails

When not to use this Actor

• Email enrichment / ValidatedMails / website crawling for inboxes — out of scope on purpose
• Posting projects or contacting firms through Clutch — read-only extraction
• Datacenter-only runs — Cloudflare often blocks them; use Apify US Residential
• The Manifest or other sister directories — this Actor is Clutch.co only

Key features

• Clutch API alternative — structured dataset instead of manual browsing
• Directory + profile URLs — category, country (/us/...), city slug, search, or /profile/{slug}
• Procurement filters — minRating, minReviews, verifiedOnly, excludeSponsored
• Sponsored flag + listing position — see paid vs earned rank on the page
• Decoded website — unwraps Clutch redirect links and strips referral UTMs
• Optional reviews — project size, schedule/quality/cost scores, reviewer firmographics
• Past the first page — ?page=N with de-dupe by Clutch provider id (Clutch clamps overflowing pages)
• Monitor — scheduled NEW/UPDATED vs last run (rating, review count, rates, verified, organic rank). Skip UNCHANGED.
• HTTP first, browser fallback — curl_cffi, then Camoufox if Cloudflare challenges

FAQ

Is this a Clutch API?
No. Clutch does not offer a public directory API. This Actor is a Clutch API alternative that reads public listing and profile HTML.

Why not emails?
Agency BD and procurement already get websites, phones published on Clutch, and buyer context from reviews. Third-party inbox hunting is noisy, extra-billed, and not this product.

How many companies per page?
A directory page currently renders on the order of 50–80 cards (including sponsors). Pagination is ?page=N. Out-of-range pages are clamped — the Actor stops when provider ids stop changing.

Does it work with Python / Node.js / MCP?
Yes. Use the Apify client examples above or Apify MCP prompts.
