How It Works

For Search/API URLs:

1. The scraper extracts company profiles from the search results or API response.
2. For each company, it navigates to its review page (e.g., .../companies/{CompanyName}/reviews).
3. Reviews are scraped up to the maxReviews limit.

For Direct Review URLs:

1. The scraper bypasses search and directly extracts reviews from the provided URL.
