# TrustPilot Category Companies (`jmmaners/trustpilot-category-companies`) Actor Scrapes Trustpilot category pages and returns company-level data: company name, Trustpilot URL, domain, trust score, review count, category URL, and page number. Supports pagination, filters, delays, retries, and proxies. - **URL**: https://apify.com/jmmaners/trustpilot-category-companies.md - **Developed by:** [Joshua Maners](https://apify.com/jmmaners) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Lead generation, Integrations - **Stats:** 1 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### PlaywrightCrawler template This template is a production ready boilerplate for developing an [Actor](https://apify.com/actors) with `PlaywrightCrawler`. Use this to bootstrap your projects using the most up-to-date code. > We decided to split Apify SDK into two libraries, Crawlee and Apify SDK v3. Crawlee will retain all the crawling and scraping-related tools and will always strive to be the best [web scraping](https://apify.com/web-scraping) library for its community. At the same time, Apify SDK will continue to exist, but keep only the Apify-specific features related to building Actors on the Apify platform. Read the upgrading guide to learn about the changes. ### Resources If you're looking for examples or want to learn more visit: - [Crawlee + Apify Platform guide](https://crawlee.dev/docs/guides/apify-platform) - [Documentation](https://crawlee.dev/api/playwright-crawler/class/PlaywrightCrawler) and [examples](https://crawlee.dev/docs/examples/playwright-crawler) - [Node.js tutorials](https://docs.apify.com/academy/node-js) in Academy - [Scraping single-page applications with Playwright](https://blog.apify.com/scraping-single-page-applications-with-playwright/) - [How to scale Puppeteer and Playwright](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-scale-puppeteer-and-playwright/) - [Integration with Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations), Make, GitHub, Google Drive and other apps - [Video guide on getting scraped data using Apify API](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViYYDHSBAKM) - A short guide on how to build web scrapers using code templates: [web scraper template](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-i-Korzf8w) ### Getting started For complete information [see this article](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development#build-actor-at-apify-console). In short, you will: 1. Build the Actor 2. Run the Actor ### Pull the Actor for local development If you would like to develop locally, you can pull the existing Actor from Apify console using Apify CLI: 1. Install `apify-cli` **Using Homebrew** ```bash brew install apify-cli ``` **Using NPM** ```bash npm -g install apify-cli ``` 2. Pull the Actor by its unique ``, which is one of the following: - unique name of the Actor to pull (e.g. "apify/hello-world") - or ID of the Actor to pull (e.g. "E2jjCZBezvAZnX8Rb") You can find both by clicking on the Actor title at the top of the page, which will open a modal containing both Actor unique name and Actor ID. This command will copy the Actor into the current directory on your local machine. ```bash apify pull ``` ### Documentation reference To learn more about Apify and Actors, take a look at the following resources: - [Apify SDK for JavaScript documentation](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js) - [Apify SDK for Python documentation](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/python) - [Apify Platform documentation](https://docs.apify.com/platform) - [Join our developer community on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/jyEM2PRvMU) # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): List of Trustpilot category URLs to start from. ## `maxCategoryPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of category pagination pages to crawl per start URL. ## `maxCompanies` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of filtered company pages to enqueue. ## `maxReviewPagesPerCompany` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of paginated review pages to scrape for each company. ## `minTrustScore` (type: `number`): Minimum Trustpilot trust score a company must have to be scraped further. ## `maxTrustScore` (type: `number`): Maximum Trustpilot trust score a company can have to be scraped further. ## `minReviewCount` (type: `integer`): Minimum number of reviews a company must have to be scraped further. ## `allowedStars` (type: `array`): Only save reviews whose star rating is in this list.
