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 ## 🔍 Clutch.co Scraper — Extract Agency Leads, Ratings & Pricing **What does the Clutch.co Scraper do?** It extracts company profiles from Clutch.co — the world's largest B2B ratings and reviews platform — giving you verified agency leads with ratings, pricing, location, services, and contact information. **Why use the Clutch.co Scraper?** - Build targeted B2B prospect lists of IT agencies, software developers, and marketing firms - Enrich your CRM with verified company data backed by real client reviews - Monitor competitors or identify top-rated vendors in any service category **What data can the Clutch.co Scraper extract?** | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | company_name | string | "Saritasa" | | profile_url | string | "https://clutch.co/profile/saritasa" | | website | string | "https://saritasa.com" | | tagline | string | "Software Development & IT Services" | | star_rating | number | 4.9 | | review_count | integer | 142 | | min_project_size | string | "$10,000+" | | hourly_rate | string | "$25 - $49 / hr" | | employees | string | "50 - 249" | | location | string | "Newport Beach, CA" | | services | array | ["Custom Software Dev", "Web Dev"] | | is_verified | boolean | true | | is_sponsored | boolean | false | | scraped_at | ISO 8601 | "2026-04-13T12:00:00.000Z" | | source_url | string | "https://clutch.co/it-services?page=1" | --- ### 🚀 How to Use the Clutch.co Scraper #### Step 1 — Pick your category Go to [clutch.co](https://clutch.co) and browse to the service category you want.

Do NOT use this when the user just describes a niche — use startUrls instead. Supports full URLs and relative paths. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Alternative to categoryUrl. Paste one or more Clutch.co listing URLs here — including any filters you set manually on the site (location, budget, company size, etc.). Each URL will be scraped. ## `location` (type: `string`): Optional. Filter results to a specific city or country. Examples: 'New York', 'United Kingdom', 'India'. Leave empty to scrape all locations. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of companies to scrape. One company = one result. Lower this to reduce cost. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of browser tabs to run in parallel. Keep at 1-2 to avoid triggering Cloudflare bot detection on Clutch.co. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categoryUrl": "https://clutch.co/it-services", "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://clutch.co/it-services" } ], "location": "", "maxResults": 50, "maxConcurrency": 2 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset of all scraped Clutch.co company profiles.
