They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — 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 Extract **company profiles and employee contacts from [kununu.com](https://www.kununu.com)**, the leading employer-review platform in the German-speaking market, without writing a single line of code. Give it a company search page or a direct company profile URL, and it returns each company's overview (rating, industry, headquarters, salary data) ready to download or connect straight into your own systems - scheduling, monitoring, and integrations like Zapier and Make all included. How the Kununu Company and Leads Scraper Apify Actor works: provide input, the actor scrapes the site, get structured output ### What does Kununu Scraper do? This actor automatically detects whether a start URL is a kununu search page or a direct company profile page. For search pages, it finds every matching company and visits each one; for a single company profile, it goes straight there. For each company, it pulls a full overview - name, rating, headquarters, industry standing, recommendation rate, salary coverage, and more - reading only what's publicly visible on kununu.com. Optionally, turn on **lead enrichment** and it will also look up each company's website for employee contacts (names, roles, emails - CEO, CTO, HR, and beyond), attached right onto that company's own result. It runs on the Apify platform, so you get scheduling, monitoring, and dataset export (JSON, CSV, Excel) out of the box - no server setup required on your end. ### Why use Kununu Scraper? - **Employer branding research** - see exactly how a company or its competitors present themselves, alongside their overall reputation. - **HR and recruiting benchmarking** - compare ratings, salary transparency, and reputation across employers at scale. - **Sales and business development** - turn a list of target companies into a list of named decision-makers you can actually reach. - **Bulk company discovery** - pass a search query and let the actor find and process every matching company automatically. ### How to use Kununu Scraper 1. [Sign up](https://apify.com/sign-up) for a free Apify account - includes **$5 monthly credit**. 2. Open the actor page and click **Try for free**. 3. Paste one or more kununu.com search or company profile URLs into **Start URLs**. 4. Turn on **Find employee contacts (leads)** if you also want names and emails for each company. 5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete. 6. Download results from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format. ### Input Configure the run from the **Input** tab: | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | | -------------------- | ------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `inputUrls` | array | ✅ | — | kununu.com company search pages or direct company profile pages. | | `maxResults` | integer | — | 5 | Maximum number of companies to process, shared across all Input URLs. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | ✅ | Apify residential | Proxy settings (required). kununu.com sits behind AWS WAF Bot Control, so Apify's **residential** proxy is the default and strongly recommended to avoid blocked-request warnings and captchas. Datacenter proxies may work at lower cost - switch if runs stay clean. | | `enrichLeads` | boolean | — | `true` | If enabled, also finds employee contacts (e.g. CEO, CTO, HR) with email addresses for each company, added as a `leads` list. Incurs an extra charge per company - see **Pricing**. | | `projectName` | string | — | — | When set, caches already-scraped companies for this project so later runs with the same project name skip re-scraping them (persistent across runs). Leave empty to always scrape fresh. | **Supported URL types:** - Company search: `https://www.kununu.com/de/search?q=coke&country=de` - Company profile: `https://www.kununu.com/de/vestiga-consulting1` ### Output Each dataset item is one company's overview. Use the **Companies** view in the Apify Console for a clean table, or download the raw results directly. **Sample output** (real data from a live run): ```json { "type": "company", "parentUrl": "https://www.kununu.com/de/consulting1", "companyName": "consulting1", "displayName": "Consulting GmbH", "website": "https://www.consulting.de", "hqLocation": "München, Bayern", "overallRating": 4.4, "isVerified": true, "followerCount": 7, "profileUrl": "https://www.kununu.com/de/consulting1" } ``` When **Find employee contacts (leads)** is enabled, each company that was successfully looked up also gets a `leads` list with one entry per contact found - everything stays on that one company's result: ```json { "type": "company", "displayName": "Consulting GmbH", "website": "https://www.consulting.de", "profileUrl": "https://www.kununu.com/de/consulting1", "leads": [ { "name": "John Wick", "email": "wick@continental.de", "emailType": "personal", "position": "Assasin", "department": "executive", "seniority": null, "phoneNumber": null, "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-wick", "confidence": 99 }, { "name": "John Cena", "email": "cena@wwe.com", "emailType": "generic", "position": null, "department": "support", "seniority": null, "phoneNumber": null, "linkedinUrl": null, "confidence": 83 } ] } ``` Every lead always has a `name` you can read at a glance - a real person's name where one was found, otherwise a department-based label (e.g. "Support Contact") or "General Contact" as a last resort, so a generic inbox like `info@` is never just a bare, unexplained email address. ### Data table **Company fields:** | Field | Description | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `companyName` | Company slug as it appears in the kununu URL. | | `displayName` | Company's display name. | | `website` | Company website, if listed. | | `hqLocation` | Headquarters city/state. | | `overallRating` | Aggregate rating shown on the profile. | | `recommendationRate` | Share of reviewers who'd recommend the company, with review counts. | | `isVerified` / `isClaimed` | Whether the profile is verified and/or claimed by the company. | | `followerCount` | Number of followers on the profile. | | `industryAverageScore` | Average rating for the company's industry, for comparison. | | `profileType` | kununu's internal profile tier. | | `countryCode` | Two-letter country code. | | `firstReviewYear` | Year of the company's earliest review. | | `topCompanyYears` | Years the company was recognized as a "Top Company." | | `profileSalariesRangesCount` | Number of distinct salary ranges reported. | | `profileSalariesTotalCount` | Total number of salary entries reported. | | `image` | Company logo URL. | | `profileUrl` | The company's kununu profile URL. | | `leads` | List of employee contacts, only present when lead enrichment is on and it succeeded - see **Lead fields** below. | **Lead fields** (each entry in a company's `leads` list, only present when lead enrichment is enabled): | Field | Description | | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | The contact's full name where known, otherwise a department-based label (e.g. "Support Contact") or "General Contact" as a fallback - never blank. | | `email` | Contact's email address. | | `emailType` | `personal` (named individual) or `generic` (e.g. info@). | | `position` | Contact's job title, where known. | | `department` | Department, where known (e.g. executive, HR, sales). | | `seniority` | Seniority level, where known. | | `phoneNumber` | Contact's phone number, where known. | | `linkedinUrl` | Contact's LinkedIn profile, where known. | | `confidence` | Confidence score (0-100) that the email is valid. | ### Pricing / Cost estimation This actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing on top of your Apify plan's compute units: | Event | Price | Charged when... | | --------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Lead enrichment | **$0.022** | ...lead enrichment is on and a company's employee contacts were successfully looked up (regardless of how many were found). | Company processing is billed per company via the "Request data" event. This actor reads only publicly visible data with lightweight HTTP requests (no browser, no third-party site visits), so compute cost per run is low. Use the free **$5 monthly Apify credit** to test before scaling up. ### Tips - Prefer a company profile URL when you only need one specific company - it skips the search step entirely. - Use a search URL to discover and process multiple companies matching a keyword in one run. - Leave lead enrichment off if you only need company overviews - it's an optional extra, not required for the core scrape. ### ⚠️ Limitations & Known Issues - **Data availability varies by company** - Some fields (e.g. salary data, recommendation rate) depend on how much a company's profile has been filled in on kununu, and may come back empty for smaller or newer profiles. ### 🚀 Our other similar actors - 🛠️ **[Hipages Lead Scraper](https://apify.com/kinaesthetic_millionaire/hipages-lead-scraper)** - A lead scraper for extracting business details from Hipages, including names, contact information, ratings, and more.

Ready to scrape more listings? Add your URLs and start scraping! 🚀 # Actor input Schema ## `inputUrls` (type: `array`): kununu.com company search pages or direct company profile pages to scrape company overviews from. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of companies to scrape across the whole run. This budget is shared across all Input URLs, not per URL. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. kununu.com sits behind AWS WAF Bot Control, so a residential proxy is recommended and is the default. Residential proxies dramatically reduce bot-detection / blocked-request warnings. Datacenter proxies may also work at lower cost - pick whichever gives clean runs. ## `enrichLeads` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, looks up each scraped company's website to find employee contacts (e.g. CEO, CTO, HR) with email addresses, added to that company's dataset item as a 'leads' array. Adds a separate $0.05 charge per company successfully looked up, in addition to the regular per-company charge. ## `projectName` (type: `string`): Optional name of the project this run belongs to. When set, the actor caches already-scraped companies for that project in a persistent Key-Value Store and skips re-scraping them in later runs (across multiple runs of the same project). Leave empty to disable caching and always scrape fresh. ## Actor input object example ```json { "inputUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.kununu.com/de/search?q=construction&country=de" } ], "maxResults": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] }, "enrichLeads": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
