Glassdoor Scraper

Extract Glassdoor jobs, employer profiles, reviews, salaries, interviews and benefits across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and India as exportable rows.

• Job titles, employers, locations, pay and available descriptions.
• Employer ratings, review samples, salary statistics and interview feedback.
• Company profiles, office locations and benefit categories when available.
• JSON, CSV and Excel exports, with API and AI-agent access.
• Pay for delivered rows: $2.00 per 1,000 rows on the Free plan, plus a start fee.

What does Glassdoor Scraper do?

Glassdoor Scraper collects public, guest-visible information from Glassdoor for hiring research, compensation comparisons and employer analysis. Choose one search or employer per run, or supply several job links or IDs.

• Jobs: search with keyword, or collect specific jobs with detailUrls or jobListingIds.
• Company: use employerId or companyUrl for an overview; a company location-page URL can return office rows.
• Employer channels: select reviews, salaries, interviews, benefits or company_jobs for that content.
• Markets: us uses glassdoor.com, uk uses glassdoor.co.uk, de uses glassdoor.de, and in uses glassdoor.co.in.
• Job enrichment: enrichDetails is on by default. Available details are added to the job row, not charged as a second row.

Each review, salary entry, interview, benefit category or aggregate is a separate billed row. Aggregate rows share the limit with individual rows; a reported count is not that many delivered rows.

What data can you extract from Glassdoor?

dataType identifies the row type below. Rows also carry name, type, status, country, authority, url, scrapedAt and contentDepth. Guest-visible output uses contentDepth: "guest_preview". Examples illustrate the format, not a promise that a field is present.

How to scrape Glassdoor

1. Open Glassdoor Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Fill a target such as keyword, or an employer ID and the desired channel.
3. Set maxResults to 3 for a small first run.
4. Click Start and wait for completion.
5. Download the dataset or read it through the API.

An empty input runs the form's software engineer example in the US, limited to 3 rows. Normal start and row prices still apply. With channel: "auto", a keyword or job link selects jobs; an employer ID or company URL selects company overview. Select other employer channels explicitly.

Jobs

Enter keyword and optionally location. Direct job links or IDs take precedence over keyword searches and employer channels. Search rows remain available when enrichment cannot obtain a description.

Company

Supply employerId or companyUrl. When using an ID, add companyName with its original casing. A Glassdoor company URL containing /Location/ requests office locations instead of an overview.

Reviews

Choose reviews and an employer. Returns available review samples or, if no individual reviews are available, a source-backed aggregate.

Salaries

Choose salaries and an employer. Returns salary entries and available aggregates. jobTitle requests a role filter where supported; employer-wide statistics may still be returned.

Interviews

Choose interviews and an employer. Returns interview accounts and available aggregate statistics, not a complete interview archive.

Benefits

Choose benefits and an employer. Benefit categories are separate rows; an aggregate count may follow if space remains.

Company jobs

Choose company_jobs and an employer to collect visible open-role samples. A company page alone is not evidence of an available job.

maxItems and limit are aliases for maxResults, the per-input row limit. Unknown fields do not fail the run: close misspellings are corrected, and other unknown fields are ignored with a note. Invalid optional filters may also be ignored.

Unusable targets stop before row charges with INVALID_INPUT: <field> — <how to fix>. The start fee can still apply. Every run writes its input interpretation to INPUT_REPORT in the default key-value store, including inferred modes, corrections and ignored fields.

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS or an HTML table. RUN_SUMMARY describes the outcome, INPUT_ECHO records interpreted settings, and ERROR_SUMMARY provides failure details when available.

Why use this Glassdoor scraper?

• Pay per delivered row: no row charge for an attempted page that produces no row.
• Keep available results: partial results returned before the deadline are delivered; rows already written remain in the dataset after a stop. An immediate manual abort cannot guarantee delivery of unfinished work.
• Inspect problems: input errors identify the field; run summaries record warnings and partial results.
• Keep missing values visible: unavailable values stay empty rather than becoming invented contacts or salary figures.
• Batch known jobs: supply multiple job URLs or IDs in one run.
• No proxy setup: you do not need to set up proxies.

How much does it cost to scrape Glassdoor?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Platform usage is included in these prices.

Apify plan	Start event	Price per row	Price per 1,000 rows
Free	$0.005	$0.002	$2.00
Starter	$0.005	$0.002	$2.00
Scale	$0.005	$0.002	$2.00
Business	$0.005	$0.0015	$1.50

Start events are charged per GB of allocated memory, with a minimum of one event. The default 512 MB run therefore costs $0.005 to start. Platinum and Diamond use the Business row price.

• maxResults applies to each search, employer target, detail URL or job ID. Its default is 70 and its supported range is 1–200. Requesting more does not guarantee more available rows.
• Free-plan runs are capped at 200 rows across the run, with 10 runs of this Actor in total. These are developer-set limits.
• The whole run stops at your Maximum cost per run (maxTotalChargeUsd in the API). Aggregate rows count toward the same limits and prices.

Example: 3 delivered rows on the Free plan at default memory cost 3 × $0.002 + $0.005 = $0.011.

What happens when the run timeout is too short

When collection needs more time, the run can pause automatically rather than fail. It shows ABORTED with the status message "Queued on the collection backend; this run will resume automatically when results are ready (about N s)." The estimate varies.

When results are ready, the same run resumes, reports "Resumed: delivering N rows.", writes to the same dataset and finishes as SUCCEEDED if delivery succeeds. Already delivered rows are skipped, so they are not delivered or charged twice. No action is needed for this automatic pause.

• Automatic pauses are limited to 3 per run. Keep the default timeout of 3600 seconds to reduce interruptions.
• Synchronous API endpoints run-sync and run-sync-get-dataset-items wait at most 300 seconds and may return an empty dataset during a pause. Start larger runs asynchronously and read the dataset after SUCCEEDED, or use a succeeded-event webhook.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Glassdoor?

Public accessibility is not permission for every use. You are responsible for checking Glassdoor's terms and applicable data-protection law. Processing personal data requires a lawful basis.

Why did my run end as ABORTED?

An automatic pause can temporarily show ABORTED. Check for the resume status message described above. A manual abort is different and does not imply an automatic restart.

How many results can I get?

Set maxResults from 1–200 per input. Actual results depend on available content, page limits and your cost cap. Free-plan runs also have a 200-row total cap and a 10-run allowance.

Why are some fields empty?

Guest pages do not show every description, salary, rating or contact field. Empty phone or email lists do not prove the employer has no contact details.

How do I search jobs by location?

Set keyword, location and market. Add remote or easyApply if needed. Leaving location empty searches nationwide within the chosen market.

Why preserve companyName casing?

Company names are used in Glassdoor page URLs. Keep the source spelling and casing, or supply a current company URL instead.

Do I need a Glassdoor account or API key?

No Glassdoor login or API key is required. The Actor returns guest-visible information, not signed-in-only content. Calling Apify's API requires your Apify token.

Does maxPages guarantee complete coverage?

No. Jobs can repeat across pages, so collection stops on repeated or heavily overlapping results. Employer channels return available samples and aggregates, not guaranteed complete histories.

Limitations

• Supported hosts cover only the US, UK, Germany and India; availability varies by market and channel.
• One keyword or employer per run; arrays are supported for job URLs and IDs, not multiple search phrases.
• Unavailable pages can produce partial results or a failure. A larger limit cannot create missing content.
• Salary statistics may describe the employer rather than the requested job title.
• No signed-in content, job applications or review submissions. Descriptions, contact fields and exact addresses are not guaranteed.
