Overview

AmbitionBox Scraper pulls structured company data from AmbitionBox, India's largest employer-review and salary platform, without logging in, solving CAPTCHAs, or touching a browser. Give it one company to start from, and it returns that company plus a deduplicated set of peers: overall rating, review count, salary and interview counts, active job count, industry, ownership, HQ, employee size, founding year, website, and overview URL. It is a fast, no-code way to build company-intelligence datasets for the Indian market.

Built for recruiting research, sales into Indian tech, employer branding teams, and AI agents that need live AmbitionBox data.

Reliability posture: blocked, empty, or failed runs are never charged. You only pay for a company record that was actually delivered.

✅ No login | ✅ No CAPTCHA | ✅ India residential proxies | ✅ MCP-ready for AI agents

Features

Seed with one company name or a keyword and fan out to peer companies. Structured fields for rating, review count, salary count, interview count, and job count. Full company profile including industry, ownership, HQ, and employee bracket. India residential proxies to keep runs steady under load. Same output whether you consume it via CSV, JSON, Excel, API, or MCP tool call.

How it works

AmbitionBox is India's largest source of employer reviews and salary data. Its own site has no public API and no bulk export. This actor reads the public company pages directly, joins in the peer graph so you can seed with one name and collect a full peer cohort, and returns a flat record per company with the numbers that recruiting and market intelligence teams actually use.

Every field lives at the top level. No nested review blobs, no HTML fragments, no per-page parsing on your side. Drop the JSON into a CRM, a data warehouse, or a Google Sheet, and you're ready to work.

🚀 Getting started

1. Open the actor and set companyName to your seed employer, or searchQuery for a keyword search.
2. Set maxResults to cap how many peer companies you collect.
3. Keep the India residential proxy on for steady runs.
4. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull it via API or MCP.
5. Schedule the run weekly to keep a rolling employer-intelligence dataset.

💵 Pricing

Pay-per-event. The rate depends on your own Apify tier:

Event	Apify tier	Price per company record
record-scraped — Company record	FREE	$0.005
	BRONZE	$0.00395
	SILVER	$0.00315
	GOLD / PLATINUM / DIAMOND	$0.002

FREE/BRONZE/SILVER/GOLD/PLATINUM/DIAMOND are Apify's own account tiers, which set your per-event rate. They are not a free-result allowance — every delivered record is charged at your tier's rate.

$5.00 per 1,000 company records at the FREE tier, down to $2.00 per 1,000 at GOLD and above. The charge fires only after a record has actually landed in your dataset, so blocked pages, empty searches, and failed runs are never billed.

⏰ Run it on a schedule

Keeping a rolling employer-intelligence dataset current — peer ratings, review volume, and active job counts as they move — is the natural recurring use.

1. On this actor's page, click ⋯ → Schedule actor (or Console → Schedules → Create new).
2. Pick a frequency — @weekly keeps a live benchmark set; @monthly is enough for slower industry mapping.
3. Your saved input is reused on every run; each run appends to a named dataset.
4. Wire the dataset to Google Sheets, Slack, or a webhook via the actor's Integrations tab so new records reach you automatically.

FAQ

Do I need a login or API key? No. AmbitionBox Scraper reads only public overview pages.

How does the peer expansion work? Give it one seed company and it uses AmbitionBox's own similar-companies graph to pull the peer cohort in the same industry and size bracket, then deduplicates.

Are the numbers real time? Rating, review count, and salary count come straight from the live overview page, so they reflect the current state of AmbitionBox.

How much does it cost? See the Pricing table above: $5.00 per 1,000 company records at the FREE Apify tier, dropping to $2.00 per 1,000 at GOLD and above. You pay only for records actually delivered — empty runs cost nothing.

Can I use it inside an AI agent? Yes. It is exposed as an MCP tool. See below.

Is there an AmbitionBox API? No. AmbitionBox publishes no public API and offers no bulk export, which is why this actor reads the public company overview pages directly — no key and no login involved.

How do I compare a company's rating against its competitors? Set companyName to the employer you care about and raise maxResults. The actor follows AmbitionBox's own similar-companies graph, so you get the peer cohort in the same industry and size bracket in one run, each with rating, review count, and active job count on the same basis.

Does it return individual salary figures? No. Each record carries salary_count — how many salary data points AmbitionBox holds for that employer — plus the review, interview, and job counts. It is company-level coverage data, not per-role salary bands.
