Clutch.co Scraper - B2B Agency Leads & Data

---

📌 Overview

The Clutch.co Scraper turns Clutch's massive B2B directory into an analysis-ready dataset. Give it one or more category / location directory URLs (or build them from a category + location) and it returns one structured record per agency: name, website, rating, review count, minimum project size, hourly rate, team size, location and the services they focus on. Turn on profile enrichment to follow each listing to its profile page and add website, full address, founded year and social links.

Clutch sits behind Cloudflare's managed challenge — this actor clears it with a real Chrome browser over country-matched residential proxies, so you get the server-rendered listing data without any account, login or API key.

✅ Paste several directory URLs and raise maxResults to assemble a large, targeted B2B lead list in a single run.

⚙️ How it works

1. You provide Clutch directory URLs (or a category + location).
2. The actor opens each page in a real Chrome browser through residential proxies and clears the Cloudflare challenge.
3. It parses the server-rendered listing into clean agency records and auto-paginates to your cap.
4. With scrapeProfiles on, it visits each profile to enrich website, address, founded year and social links.
5. Results stream straight to your dataset.

No login, no cookies, no API key — only publicly listed agency data.

❓ FAQ

Is this a Clutch.co API alternative?

Yes — Clutch.co has no public API, so this scraper works as an unofficial Clutch API: point it at directory URLs and get structured agency records (name, website, rating, pricing, services) back, no API key required.

How do I export Clutch.co data to CSV or JSON?

Every run writes one record per agency to a dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull via API and webhooks — ideal for building a Clutch agency dataset for outreach.

Can I scrape Clutch.co without login?

Yes — the actor clears Clutch's Cloudflare challenge with a real browser over residential proxies and reads only public listing and profile data, so no account or login is needed.
