Why scrape Glassdoor reviews?

Glassdoor is the most recognized source of employer ratings and employee sentiment. This data is valuable for:

• Employer branding & HR intelligence — benchmark your company's rating, CEO approval and sub-scores against competitors.
• Competitive & market research — compare dozens of companies on culture, compensation, work-life balance and diversity in one spreadsheet.
• Recruiting & talent teams — understand how a target employer is perceived before approaching candidates.
• Investment & due diligence — track employee sentiment and leadership approval as a signal.
• Candidates & career tools — summarize what employees say they love and hate about a company.

Review coverage — please read

Glassdoor shows the complete rating breakdown for every company to everyone, but it only serves the first page of individual reviews (a few per company) to logged-out visitors. The rest are behind Glassdoor's login wall.

• Anonymous (default): you always get the full company rating breakdown + the first page of reviews for each company. This is perfect for rating benchmarking across many companies.
• Deep reviews (optional): to collect more reviews per company, paste your own Glassdoor session cookie into loginCookie. Copy the cookie header from a logged-in Glassdoor request (browser DevTools → Network). Use your own account responsibly and in line with Glassdoor's Terms.

Every row includes the company's rating data, so even in anonymous mode a multi-company run gives you a rich employer-rating dataset.

Output

One row per review (each row also carries the company's rating context). If a company has no individual reviews accessible, a single row with its rating breakdown is still saved.

How it works

Glassdoor is protected by a Cloudflare challenge. This actor passes it for you: it opens Glassdoor once with a real browser to obtain a verified session, then reuses that session over fast HTTP to load company review pages and extract the embedded data.

Because the verified Cloudflare session is tied to the IP that created it, the browser and all requests run through a single sticky proxy session. For reliability, use Residential proxies (the default).

FAQ

Do I need a Glassdoor account? No — anonymous mode gives the full rating breakdown and the first page of reviews. Add a loginCookie only if you want more reviews per company.

Can I scrape many companies at once? Yes — add them all to company. Each is resolved and scraped separately.

Why do I only get a few reviews per company without a login cookie? That's Glassdoor's login wall for logged-out visitors. The rating breakdown is always complete; use loginCookie for deeper review pagination.

What input formats work? Company name, Glassdoor review URL, or employer id.
