Capterra Reviews Scraper: software reviews as clean JSON

Paste a Capterra product link, get every review that product's page will show you, as structured rows you can drop into a spreadsheet, a BI tool or a prompt. You get the full pros and cons text, the overall star rating plus the four sub-ratings Capterra collects, and the reviewer's job title, industry and company size, so you can slice sentiment by who actually said it.

No API key. No Capterra account. No monthly subscription. One flat price per review, platform usage included.

What you get per review

Field	What it is
title, pros, cons, overallComment	The full review text, not a truncated preview
overallRating	Stars out of 5
easeOfUseRating, customerSupportRating, functionalityRating, valueForMoneyRating	The four sub-ratings Capterra asks every reviewer for
recommendationRating	Likelihood to recommend, 0 to 10
reviewerJobTitle, reviewerIndustry, reviewerCompanySize	Who wrote it (company size is a bucket like "11-50 employees")
timeUsedProduct	How long they had used the product, for example "2+ years"
reviewerName, reviewerVerifiedLinkedIn, reviewerValidations	Reviewer identity when it is public, null when the review is anonymous
alternativesConsidered, switchedFrom	The competing products named in the review
reasonsForChoosing, reasonsForSwitching	Why they picked this product, in their words
incentivized, incentiveNote, reviewSource	Whether Capterra gave the reviewer an incentive, and which Gartner site collected it
vendorResponse, vendorResponseDate	The vendor's public reply, when there is one
reviewDate, reviewUrl, sourceUrl, scrapedAt	Provenance for every row

You also get one free recordType: "product" row per product with the rating breakdown and the total review count on Capterra. It is not charged.

Who uses it

Product and competitive-intelligence teams pulling a rival's last two years of reviews to find the complaints that keep repeating. SaaS founders building a battlecard from switchedFrom and reasonsForSwitching. Agencies and analysts feeding review text into an LLM for theme extraction, where the sub-ratings and the company-size bucket are what make the output worth reading. Anyone who wants "reviews from companies with 11-50 employees who used it 2+ years" without reading 2,000 pages by hand.

Input examples

Simplest possible run, one product:

{
  "productUrls": ["https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/reviews/"]
}

Several products, capped so you can price the run before committing:

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/reviews/",
    "https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/reviews/",
    "175800/Chat"
  ],
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 500
}

A product page URL works as well as a reviews URL, and a bare 135003/Slack reference works too. If you paste something that is not a Capterra product link, the run ends cleanly with a message telling you what was wrong instead of failing.

How it works

Capterra has no public reviews API. The reviews are embedded in the page itself (Next.js server-component data), so the actor reads the page over plain HTTP and pulls the review objects straight out of it. No browser, no proxy on a normal run, which is why the price can stay flat and low.

Pricing

You pay per review returned. Platform usage is included in the price, so there is no separate compute or proxy line on your bill and no subscription.

Event	Price
Review scraped	$2.00 per 1,000
Actor start	$0.001 per run

The product summary row is free. The small start fee covers runs that return nothing; on any normal run it disappears next to the per-review price. Bronze, Silver and Gold plan discounts apply.

FAQ

Do I need a Capterra API key or account? No. The reviews are public on the product page and the actor reads them directly.

How many reviews can I get for one product? Up to 2,500. That is Capterra's own limit, not ours: its review pages stop paginating at page 100 and 25 reviews per page. Products with fewer reviews return all of them. maxReviewsPerProduct lets you stop earlier.

Where do I find the product URL? Open the product on capterra.com and copy the address bar. It looks like https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/. The /reviews/ version works too, and so does the bare 135003/Slack.

Can I choose the sort order? Not yet. Capterra's sort control is applied in the browser and is not addressable from the URL, so the actor returns reviews in Capterra's default "most helpful" order. Every row carries reviewDate, so sorting by date after the fact is a one-line operation.

Are anonymous reviews included? Yes. When the reviewer chose to stay anonymous, reviewerName is null and the rest of the profile fields (job title, industry, company size) still come through, because Capterra publishes those.

Can I tell incentivized reviews apart? Yes. incentivized is a boolean and incentiveNote carries Capterra's own disclosure wording, for example the nominal gift card notice.

What happens if Capterra blocks a page? The actor retries, then stops that product and logs it rather than shipping half-parsed rows. You are only charged for reviews actually delivered.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes, like any actor. New reviews appear on page 1, so a small maxReviewsPerProduct on a daily schedule is a cheap way to watch a competitor.
