Clutch.co Company Scraper

Clutch.co Company Scraper creates a structured dataset of B2B service companies and their client reviews, collected from Clutch.co, the B2B services directory. Each dataset item represents one company and can include reputation scores, hourly rates, employee size, contact data, and an optional paginated review history. Query the source by pasting Clutch directory or profile URLs, or by service category plus location with filters for size, rate, budget, and review count. Control the result limit with maxItems, and retrieve records through the Apify Dataset API or export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, or other supported formats.

Coverage and available records

The Actor collects companies from public Clutch.co pages using one of two entry points:

• URL-based: Pass Clutch directory URLs (for example https://clutch.co/app-developers/nyc) or individual company profile URLs in startUrls. The Actor scrapes exactly those pages. When startUrls is set, search fields are ignored.
• Search-based: Set searchQuery to a Clutch service (for example Mobile App Development) with an optional location. Directory sort order and filters (verified-only, employee size, hourly rate, client budget, minimum reviews) are applied automatically during pagination.

Record types and limits:

• Listing-level records are always collected: name, profile URL, rating, review count, hourly rate, employee size, location, services, and verification status.
• Company detail fields are conditional: website, phone, tagline, full description, year founded, languages, timezones, address, office locations, and social links are returned only when scrapeCompanyDetails is enabled, which visits each company profile.
• Review records are conditional: a paginated reviews array per company is returned only when scrapeReviews is enabled.
• Result cap: maxItems limits the number of companies collected (0 means unlimited, the default).

Known exclusions: content Clutch only shows behind login is not collected; each run captures page state at run time (no historical snapshots); the Actor does not follow outbound links to a company's own website.

* Provide either startUrls or searchQuery — at least one source is required.

Minimal request:

{ "searchQuery": "Mobile App Development", "location": "New York" }

Advanced request (URL entry point with enrichment):

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://clutch.co/app-developers/nyc" }],
  "maxItems": 5000,
  "scrapeCompanyDetails": true,
  "scrapeReviews": true,
  "verifiedOnly": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Retrieve the data through the API

The Actor runs on the Apify platform, so there is no server to host and no crawling infrastructure to maintain.

1. Start the Actor with a JSON input (console or API).
2. Wait for the run to finish, or use a synchronous endpoint if you want the response inline.
3. Retrieve items from the run's default dataset.
4. Paginate or export the dataset.

Python example:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR-APIFY-TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://clutch.co/app-developers/nyc"}],
    "maxItems": 10,
    "scrapeCompanyDetails": True,
}

run = client.actor("datascrapers/clutch-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["companyId"], item["name"], item["rating"])

Apify generates ready-to-run Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples on the Actor's API tab. Do not put a real API token in shared code or URLs.

Data quality and record handling

• Conditional fields: detail and review fields are present only when their input toggle is enabled. Listings alone return a leaner record.
• Source changes: Clutch page structure and values can change; unreadable fields are returned as null rather than fabricated.
• Deduplication: each run appends fresh records; the Actor does not deduplicate companies across runs. Use companyId as the stable key and filter repeated runs against previously stored IDs.
• Rate limits: Clutch aggressively rate-limits automated traffic. Runs use retry logic; residential proxies are strongly recommended for consistent coverage.
• Charges: the Actor stops gracefully when a spending limit is reached (see run log). Values such as rating, rates, and scores are read from Clutch and normalized to the field types in the data dictionary.

Export and pipeline examples

Destination	Recommended method	Typical use
PostgreSQL / Supabase	Dataset API poll or webhook consumer	Store agency leads alongside CRM records
Google Sheets	Apify Google Sheets integration	Share shortlists with sales teams
CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce)	Webhook on run completion	Push new companies into outreach pipelines
S3 / cloud storage	Scheduled export via Apify scheduler + integration	Archival of market snapshots

Pricing and cost examples

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing with three chargeable events, all billed per 1,000 companies:

Event	Trigger	Rate (per 1,000 companies)
Company result	Every company record pushed to the dataset	$1.50
Company details	scrapeCompanyDetails enabled, profile visited	$2.00
Company reviews	scrapeReviews enabled, paginated reviews fetched	$2.00

Example costs:

Records	Configuration	Estimated base cost
1,000	Listing only	$1.50
10,000	Listing only	$15.00
1,000	Listing + company details	$3.50
1,000	Listing + details + reviews	$5.50
10,000	Listing + details + reviews	$55.00

Apify paid plans reduce the per-1,000 rate (for example $1.20 per 1,000 companies at the Gold tier). Compute units consumed by the run are billed by your Apify plan. Estimates depend on the verified pricing model and the options selected for the run.

Limitations and responsible data use

• The Actor collects publicly accessible data from Clutch.co pages only.
• Field availability depends on what Clutch renders at run time; some values can be null or missing, and site changes can alter fields.
• The Actor does not provide historical snapshots unless you store them yourself.
• Large runs require residential proxies; without them, coverage may degrade due to rate limiting.
• You are responsible for compliance with Clutch's terms of service, applicable privacy law, and any contractual obligations before using the data.

Dataset questions

What does one dataset item represent?

One company from Clutch.co. Review records are nested inside the company record as a reviews array, so a company with 50 reviews still produces a single dataset item.

Which field should I use as a unique identifier?

companyId is the stable Clutch identifier and is the recommended deduplication key. The url (profile URL) is a reasonable secondary key.

Are fields nullable or conditional?

Yes. Detail fields (website, phone, address, social links, description) exist only when scrapeCompanyDetails is enabled; the reviews array exists only when scrapeReviews is enabled. Within available records, fields that Clutch does not render for a company are returned as null.

Can I retrieve the records as CSV or JSON?

Yes. The dataset can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML from the Apify Console, and queried through the Dataset API.

Does the Actor return historical data?

No. Each run captures the state of the pages at run time. To track changes over time, schedule repeated runs and store the outputs yourself.

What counts as a billable result?

Three pay-per-event charges apply: a company result for every company record ($1.50 per 1,000), a company-details charge for each enriched profile ($2.00 per 1,000), and a company-reviews charge for each company whose reviews are fetched ($2.00 per 1,000). A listing-only run incurs only the company-result charge.

How do I search by service and location?

Set searchQuery to the Clutch service and location to a city, region, or country. Directory filters (sortBy, agencySize, hourlyRate, clientBudget, minReviews, verifiedOnly) apply in search mode automatically during pagination.
