Clutch.co Agency Directory Scraper

Pull B2B agency leads from Clutch.co with the attributes buyers actually filter on — minimum project size, hourly rate band, headcount, location, service mix with percentages, rating, review count, and the agency's own website URL — plus full profiles, client reviews, and the list of every directory page on the site.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, no API key. Point it at a category and run.
• Lead attributes, not just names. Every row carries min. project size, hourly rate, headcount, city/region/country, phone, and the agency's real website — the fields that decide whether a lead is worth a call.
• Paid placement is labelled, not hidden. Half the rows on a busy category page are sponsors. Each record says isPaidPlacement, isPinnedBlock and isRankedResult, so you can separate the bought slots from the actual ranking. Most tools blend them together.
• No duplicate rows. Clutch repeats a "Leaders Matrix" block on every page of a category. This actor recognises it and emits each agency once.
• Service mix with percentages. Web Development 30%, Custom Software Development 30%, AI Agents 5% — how an agency actually splits its work, on every row.
• Client reviews with the four sub-scores (quality, schedule, cost, willing to refer), plus what the project cost and how long it ran.
• Stable JSON suitable for a CRM, a database or a spreadsheet, with automatic retries and export to JSON/CSV/Excel.

How it works

1. You give it a directory slug (web-developers, seo-firms) or a full Clutch.co URL, including country and city cuts like id/web-developers or web-designers/lagos.
2. It walks the listing page by page, reading every agency row.
3. It labels each row by why it is on the page — ranked result, sponsor, or a pinned block — and drops the repeats.
4. Optionally it opens profiles for the full detail, or collects the client reviews.
5. Results land in the dataset as they are found.

You do not manage scrapers, browsers, accounts or blocks.

Modes

Mode	What you get	Typical cost
directory	One record per agency in a category, with all lead attributes	1 request ≈ 50 ranked agencies
profile	One agency in full: founding year, full address, service / focus / industry splits, certifications	1 request per agency
reviews	One record per client review, with four sub-scores, project size and length	1 request ≈ 10 reviews
categories	Every directory URL on the site (~70,000), split into country and city cuts	2 requests ≈ 10,000 URLs
reference	A health check: is the source live and still shaped the way this actor expects	~17 requests

Input

{
  "mode": "directory",
  "categories": ["web-developers"],
  "maxPages": 3,
  "includePinnedRows": false,
  "includePaidPlacements": true,
  "maxItems": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

Field	Type	Description
mode	string	directory, profile, reviews, categories or reference. Default directory.
categories	array	Directory slugs or full Clutch.co URLs. web-developers is the global ranking, id/web-developers the Indonesian cut, web-designers/lagos the city cut.
maxPages	integer	Listing pages to walk per category. A page holds about 50 ranked agencies; web-developers alone runs to 1,933 pages.
includePinnedRows	boolean	Off by default. Clutch repeats a 30-row "Leaders Matrix" and a featured block on every page; turning this on adds them once per category.
includePaidPlacements	boolean	On by default. Sponsor rows are kept but flagged, so you can filter them out downstream.
profileUrls	array	Profile slugs or URLs, e.g. cleveroad. Required by profile and reviews.
maxReviewPages	integer	Review pages per profile, about 10 reviews each. Stops early when a page brings nothing new.
categoryFilter	string	categories mode — keep only URLs containing this text, e.g. seo or /id/.
maxSitemapShards	integer	categories mode — the index is split into 7 shards of 10,000 URLs. One is usually plenty.
maxItems	integer	Hard cap on records for the whole run. 0 means no cap.
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional. Off by default. Turn on Residential proxy if a run is refused.

Notes and limits

• Page 1 is the first page of the listing. Clutch's own ?page=1 link actually shows page 2 — this actor works around it, so maxPages: 3 really means the first three pages.
• Page 1 of a busy category is mostly advertising. /web-developers page 1 carries 86 rows of which only 7 are ranked results; from page 2 on it settles at about 50 ranked rows per page. Ranked rows are emitted first, so a run with maxItems gets the ranking rather than the sponsors.
• The Leaders Matrix repeats. ~30 agencies appear on every page of a category. They are off by default and deduplicated when on.
• Reviews are paginated about 10 at a time, and the featured review repeats on each page. Duplicates are removed automatically.
• Filtered listing URLs are not requested. Clutch asks crawlers not to fetch its filter URLs (sort_by, hourly_rate, industries, and similar). If you paste one, those parameters are dropped and the run logs it.
• Turn on Residential proxy in the input if a run is refused; it is not needed by default.
