How Capterra Scraper Works

1. You pick a software category, supply a list of product URLs, or both.
2. The scraper walks the category listing pages, collecting every product card and its top-line stats.
3. If scrapeDetails is on (it's the default), each product is followed to its detail page for full features, integrations, alternatives, and deployment options.
4. If scrapeReviews is enabled, the scraper also pages through individual reviews up to your per-product cap.
5. Records are emitted with a normalized schema, capped at your maxItems limit.

FAQ

How do I scrape software listings from Capterra?

Capterra Scraper accepts either a category slug or a list of product URLs. Pick crm-software and you get every CRM on Capterra. Drop in five product URLs and you get exactly those five with full profiles. Pagination across category pages is automatic.

Does Capterra Scraper need proxies?

Capterra Scraper uses residential proxies by default, because Capterra sits behind Cloudflare and datacenter IPs get challenged. The proxy is wired in automatically — you don't have to bring your own.

Can I extract individual user reviews, not just product summaries?

Yes. Set scrapeReviews to true and the scraper visits each product's review page, extracting individual reviews with reviewer name, ratings across all five dimensions, pros, cons, and submission date. Cap the per-product count with maxReviewsPerProduct.

What software categories are supported?

Capterra Scraper supports 28 categories including CRM, project management, HR, accounting, e-commerce, marketing automation, help desk, learning management, and most other top-level Capterra verticals. Pass the slug from the dropdown — accounting-software, crm-software, and so on.

How much does it cost to run?

Capterra Scraper is pay-per-event. You're charged per software-product record returned. Turning on scrapeReviews pulls additional review records, billed at the same per-event rate.

How fresh are the ratings?

Capterra Scraper hits the live site, so ratings reflect whatever Capterra is showing at the moment. Capterra recomputes overall scores as new reviews land — typically within a day.

Why Use Capterra Scraper?

• Five rating dimensions — Ease of use, customer service, value for money, functionality, and overall score returned as separate numeric fields, ready for filtering and aggregation.
• Two depth modes — Listing-card mode for fast vendor enumeration, detail mode for full feature/integration/alternative profiles. Pick what you need per run.
• Reviews as a structured stream — Optional per-review extraction returns reviewer metadata, pros, cons, and date stamps — the same fields a buyer would compare across products, except in JSON instead of a browser tab.
