Glassdoor Reviews Scraper (No API Key)

Scrape Glassdoor company reviews into clean, structured JSON — no API key, no login, no browser automation. Paste one or more Glassdoor employer review page URLs and this actor extracts every review with the full rating breakdown: ratingOverall, pros, cons, summary, jobTitle, location, employmentStatus, review date, and the five sub-ratings (work-life balance, culture, career opportunities, compensation, senior leadership). Built for developers, market and HR analysts, recruiters, and AI/RAG pipelines that need bulk employer review data — pay per result, no subscription.

Reliability: requests use Chrome TLS impersonation over Apify residential US proxies with automatic session rotation to clear anti-bot walls, reading Glassdoor's own structured review data rather than rendered HTML.
