Indeed Company Reviews Scraper

Scrape employee reviews of any company from Indeed by company name or by pasting its Indeed company-page URL, and export them as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them straight from the API.

⚡ For every review you get the overall rating and four sub-ratings (work/life balance, compensation and benefits, job security and advancement, management) plus the culture rating, the headline and full text, the pros and cons when the reviewer filled them, the reviewer's job title, location and country, current or former employee, helpful votes and the date. Works on 20 Indeed country sites, with no login and no cookies: Apify's built-in proxy is used automatically. You pay per review.

🎯 Why scrape Indeed company reviews?

• Employer branding: track your company's rating, sub-ratings and what new reviews say, week after week, and compare with competitors.
• HR analytics: quantify what employees praise or complain about (management, pay, schedules) across thousands of reviews instead of reading them one by one.
• Due diligence and investing: employee sentiment is a leading indicator. Indeed's review base skews to frontline and hourly workers, a population Glassdoor covers less.
• Recruiting: read the real pros and cons of an employer before interviewing, filtered by job title or country.
• Research and NLP: full review text with structured ratings at scale, ideal for sentiment analysis datasets.
• Complement Glassdoor: same companies, different reviewer population. Scrape both and compare.

🚀 How to scrape Indeed company reviews

1. Type one or more Company names as they appear on Indeed (Google, General Motors), or paste Indeed company URLs (any /cmp/... page, from any country domain).
2. Set Max reviews per company. Large employers expose thousands of reviews, collected 20 per page.
3. Optionally filter: Reviews from country (US, FR, GB...) and Job title.
4. Click Start. The Actor collects the reviews, 20 per page.
5. Open the Storage tab to preview the reviews and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read them from the dataset API.

The same run can be started from the Apify API, the Python or JavaScript client, or put on a schedule for weekly monitoring.

💰 Pricing: how much does it cost to scrape Indeed reviews?

From $5.00 per 1,000 reviews on the free plan, with automatic volume discounts down to $3.40 per 1,000 on higher Apify plans. You pay only for the results you receive, there is no subscription and no start fee. New Apify accounts get free monthly platform credits to try it.

Cost is driven purely by the number of reviews returned: cap it with maxReviewsPerCompany, and narrow the set with reviewsFromCountry or jobTitle before you pay for it.

⚙️ Performance, proxies and limits

• Proxy: keep the default Apify Proxy setting. A residential proxy gives the most reliable runs. Images, media and fonts are skipped to keep bandwidth low.
• Pagination: 20 reviews per page, deduplicated by review id. Indeed's default order repeats after a few pages; the Actor then continues with sort=date_desc to collect a second unique window. A company ends at your cap, when both orders are exhausted, or when Indeed stops exposing new ids (input_status truncated if the announced count is higher).
• Company names: resolved through Indeed's own company search (GraphQL findEmployers), then the /cmp/{slug} page. If a name still misses, paste the company URL instead.
• Order: Indeed's own default review order (most helpful and recent first). Sub-ratings are null when the reviewer did not fill that dimension.
• Blocked runs: if a run comes back empty after all retries, retry later or raise maxChallengeRetries.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Indeed reviews?

The Actor only reads reviews that Indeed publishes to anyone without logging in. Reviews contain personal data (job titles, locations), so process them in line with GDPR and other privacy laws, respect Indeed's terms of use, and stay responsible for how you use the data. This is not legal advice.

Do I need an Indeed account, login or cookies?

No. Nothing to log in to, no cookies to paste, and the default proxy setting just works.

Can I export Indeed reviews to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Every run's dataset downloads as CSV, XLSX, JSON or XML from the Storage tab, and the Google Sheets integration can push new reviews to a sheet automatically. Every field is already a flat column.

How many reviews can I scrape per company?

As many as Indeed exposes (set maxReviewsPerCompany to 0). Large employers have thousands, so most users cap each run.

Can I get reviews from one country or one job title only?

Yes. reviewsFromCountry keeps reviews written in that country (US, FR, GB...), and jobTitle keeps one role. Both are Indeed's own filters, applied before you pay for the results.

How is this different from Glassdoor reviews?

Different reviewer population: Indeed's reviews skew to frontline, retail and hourly roles, while Glassdoor skews to office roles. The sibling Glassdoor Reviews Scraper below has the same output style, so you can combine both.

Why are some sub-ratings null?

Indeed lets reviewers skip individual dimensions. A null means "not rated", never zero.

How fresh is the data?

Every run scrapes Indeed live. Schedule the Actor weekly to keep a rolling history of ratings and review text.
