## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

# README

## Gartner Peer Insights Scraper 🏛️

Scrape **enterprise-grade B2B software reviews** from [Gartner Peer Insights](https://www.gartner.com/reviews) — the gold standard for enterprise SaaS evaluations, verified-reviewer only and used by Fortune 500 buyers.

### What it does

Extract structured reviews for any vendor or category with full reviewer context (role, industry, company size, deployment):

- **Review**: title, rating, full text, date, **pros / cons / use case**
- **Ratings breakdown**: product capabilities, ease of deployment, service & support, integration & ease of use
- **Would recommend** (Yes/No/Maybe)
- **Reviewer profile**: verified role (CIO/CTO/Director/Engineer…), function, industry, **company size band**, region
- **Deployment context**: implementation team, used for, length of use
- **Vendor context**: product, category, page URL
- **Response**: vendor reply (when present)

### Why this scraper?

Gartner Peer Insights has **zero direct competitors on Apify Store** and is the single highest-value review source for B2B SaaS:

- ✅ Every reviewer is **email-verified + employment-verified** — no fake reviews
- ✅ Buyer personas include VP/C-level at enterprise accounts (large ACV)
- ✅ Vendors pay thousands/year to track their mentions — clear willingness-to-pay
- ✅ Structured ratings with subscales (capability, deployment, support, integration)
- ✅ Complements G2 / Capterra / Trustpilot coverage with the enterprise tier
