FAQ

Is it legal to collect this data? This scraper collects publicly visible company information that anyone can see on Serchen.com without logging in. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with Serchen's terms of service and applicable laws.

What is the AI review summary? Serchen generates an AI-written summary of user reviews for each listed product. This scraper extracts that summary directly from the public profile page.

Can I scrape all 98,000 companies? Yes. Enable Seed from sitemap and set a high Maximum items limit. The run will take longer, but you get the full directory.

Why are some social media fields empty? Not every company on Serchen has all social profiles listed. Empty fields mean the company has not added that link to their Serchen profile.
