Output Format

The Actor outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a company's overview. Key fields include basic info (name, industry, founded year), financials (revenue, size), ratings (overall, CEO, work-life balance), awards (list with details), photos (URLs and captions), interviews (positive/negative counts), and updates (recent posts). This structured format ensures easy parsing and integration.

Error Handling

The Actor includes built-in error handling for network issues, invalid company names, or site changes. If a company is not found, it logs an error and continues. Use residential proxies to minimize blocks; retries are automatic.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

Glassdoor may impose rate limits; use proxies and run during off-peak hours. Limit concurrent runs to avoid bans. For large datasets, batch requests. Always respect terms of service.
