Input Reference

Field	Type	Description
categoryUrl	string	One Clutch listing/category URL or path. Defaults to https://clutch.co/it-services.

startUrls	array	Backwards-compatible request-list input. Accepts strings or { "url": "..." } objects.
location	string	Adds Clutch's geolocation query parameter server-side.
minRating	number	Keep only companies at or above this star rating.
minReviews	integer	Keep only companies with at least this many reviews.

maxPages	integer	Safety cap for pagination per URL. Usually leave blank.

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005 per GB
Company scraped	$0.005 per company

Cost is bounded by maxResults. A 100-company run costs about $0.50 plus the tiny actor-start event.

Output And Summary

The primary output is the dataset. The actor also writes:

• RUN_SUMMARY - totals, input URLs, charged event counts, estimated cost, request stats, and stop reason.
• OUTPUT - same summary for MCP/API consumers that expect an output record.
• DEBUG_CARD_HTML - first rendered company card HTML when available, useful for selector maintenance.

Reliability Notes

Clutch uses Cloudflare. This actor uses a fingerprinted Playwright browser, low default concurrency, retries, and session retirement on block signals. It does not expose proxy configuration because prior validation showed proxy IPs reduce reliability on this target.

If every request is blocked, the run fails honestly with a clear status message instead of returning an empty success. If filters match nothing, the run succeeds with 0 dataset rows and a no-matching-results summary.

Limitations

• This actor scrapes Clutch directory/listing cards, not full profile-review histories.
• Website URLs are decoded from Clutch redirect links when visible on the listing card.
• Clutch may hide some fields on specific categories, regions, sponsored placements, or responsive layouts.

MCP / Agent Use

Use this actor when an AI agent needs structured Clutch vendor data from a category URL. The input schema is written for routing: listing/category URLs go here; individual company review analysis should use a profile-review scraper.
