Kununu Reviews Scraper: Extract Employee Reviews from Any Company on Kununu

Kununu Reviews Scraper collects employee reviews and ratings from kununu.com. Point it at a company URL and you get review headlines, pros and cons, per-category comments on work-life balance, salary, management and culture, plus each reviewer's department, location and employment status. Run it on several companies at once. It handles pagination automatically, so you get all reviews, not just the first page.

No manual clicking. No copy-pasting. Just structured review data ready to export.

What data does this actor extract?

For each review, the actor returns:

Field	Type	Description
reviewId	string	Unique review identifier (UUID)
companyName	string	Name of the company profile scraped
companySlug	string	Company slug from the URL (e.g. mercedes-benz-group)
companyUrl	string	Kununu reviews page that was scraped
entityReviewed	string	The specific legal entity reviewed (e.g. Mercedes-Benz.io)
reviewTitle	string	Headline written by the reviewer
overallRating	number	Overall star rating (1.0 to 5.0)
recommendation	string	Empfohlen or Nicht empfohlen
pros	string	Free text under "Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich"
cons	string	Free text under "Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich"
suggestions	string	Free text under "Verbesserungsvorschläge"
factors	object	Per-category comments keyed by category name
employmentStatus	string	Reviewer category (e.g. Führungskraft)
employmentType	string	Current employee or Former employee
department	string	Department the reviewer worked in
location	string	City the reviewer worked in
reviewDate	string	Date the review was posted (ISO 8601)
reviewDateText	string	Date as displayed on Kununu (e.g. August 2026)
reviewUrl	string	Direct link to the review
scrapedAt	string	UTC timestamp of when this record was collected

Fields a reviewer left blank come back as null rather than an empty string. Group profiles aggregate reviews across subsidiaries, which is why entityReviewed can differ from companyName.

The factors object holds only the categories a reviewer actually commented on:

"factors": {
    "Work-Life-Balance": "Die Schichtlängen sind so geplant, dass genug Freizeit bleibt.",
    "Gehalt/Benefits": "Der Gehalt ist Top und fair geregelt.",
    "Vorgesetztenverhalten": "Das Verhalten ist ziemlich stark auf Augenhöhe."
}

How to use it

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
companyUrl	string	No*	-	Kununu company reviews page URL
companyUrls	array	No*	-	List of company review URLs for bulk scraping
maxItems	integer	No	100	Max reviews per company (max 5000)
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Residential, DE	Proxy used to reach the site

*At least one of companyUrl or companyUrls is required.

The /kommentare suffix is added automatically if you leave it off. Both /de/ and /at/ regional URLs work. Kununu serves 10 reviews per page, so maxItems: 100 means 10 page loads.

Example input

{
    "companyUrl": "https://www.kununu.com/de/mercedes-benz-group/kommentare",
    "maxItems": 50
}

Scraping multiple companies at once:

{
    "companyUrls": [
        "https://www.kununu.com/de/mercedes-benz-group",
        "https://www.kununu.com/de/siemens",

FAQ

Which countries and regions does this work for? The actor supports any Kununu regional URL, including /de/ (Germany), /at/ (Austria), and /ch/ (Switzerland). Just paste the URL as-is.

Do I need to enter the full URL with /kommentare? No. If you paste a company profile URL without the /kommentare suffix, the actor adds it automatically.

Can I scrape more than one company at a time? Yes. Use the companyUrls field to pass a list of URLs. The actor processes each one in sequence and pushes all results to a single dataset.

How many reviews can I collect? Up to 5000 per company per run. Set maxItems to control the limit. The actor follows pagination automatically until it hits your limit or runs out of pages, and de-duplicates by review ID.

The run reports that bot protection was not cleared. What do I do? Kununu fronts its pages with a challenge that flags IP addresses making repeated automated requests. Enable proxyConfiguration with the RESIDENTIAL group and country DE so each run rotates through fresh addresses, and lower maxItems if it keeps happening.

What happens if a company page fails? The actor logs the error and saves a record with the error field set, then moves on to the next company. One failed URL does not stop the run.

Does it work for private companies? It works for any company with a public Kununu profile. Private or unlisted profiles are not accessible.
