Clutch.co Scraper — B2B Service Providers & Reviews

Scrape B2B service company profiles and client reviews from Clutch.co. Pull ratings, hourly rates, project minimums, service lines, industry focus, contact info, and the top client review in a single pass.

What It Does

Two-phase crawl against Clutch.co:

1. Directory listing — the crawler walks a category or service-line index (e.g. web-developers, agencies/seo) and collects every company card on the page.
2. Company profile — each card's profile page is opened, full firmographic and review data is extracted, and a flat record is emitted to the dataset.

Clutch sits behind a Cloudflare managed challenge. The scraper uses Playwright with residential proxies and fingerprint rotation to clear the challenge automatically — no CAPTCHA keys required.

Input

Field	Type	Description
mode	string	listings (cards only, fast) or both (cards + full profile + top review). Default: both.
serviceLine	string	Service-line slug (e.g. web-developers, agencies/seo). Leave blank to hit the default directory.
minRating	number	Drop profiles under this Clutch rating (0-5). Default: 0.
searchUrls	array	Specific Clutch.co directory, category, or /profile/<slug> URLs. Overrides serviceLine if set.
maxItems	integer	Cap on returned records. Default: 15. 0 = unlimited.

Pricing — Pay Per Result

• $0.002 per company record (+ a fixed start fee per run).
• No seats, no subscriptions. You only pay for records we actually deliver.
• 100 records ≈ $0.20. 1,000 records ≈ $2. 10,000 records ≈ $20.

If a run fails before any records are saved, you aren't charged for results.

---

Typical Use Cases

• B2B lead generation — pull agencies ranked in your target service line, then route them into outreach with hourly rate and project-size context already attached.
• Competitive intelligence — see how your category ranks on Clutch, with review volume and reviewer testimonials.
• Vendor shortlisting — filter by minRating and service line, then pipe directly into a CRM.
• Market sizing — count the providers per service line and region, with employee and hourly-rate buckets as proxies for firm scale.

Notes & Limits

• Clutch.co pagination varies by category. Listing mode walks up to a small number of follow-up pages; detail mode stops once maxItems profiles have been saved.
• review_* fields return the top review only. Full review lists are not in scope for this actor.
• Clutch is Cloudflare-protected. Use residential proxies. Datacenter IPs will be blocked before the first page loads.
• Run memory defaults to 2 GB. Lower it only if you're hitting a small URL list.
