⭐ AmbitionBox Scraper — Company Reviews, Salaries & Ratings

What is the AmbitionBox Scraper?

The AmbitionBox Scraper is an Apify actor that 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 its peers — each with the 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 — no login, no API key.

Why use it

• Build employer-intelligence datasets — ratings, review volume and salary coverage across many companies from a single seed.
• Fan out to peers automatically — start from one company and collect its similar/peer companies.
• Firmographics included — industry, ownership, HQ, employee size and founding year in every record.
• Benchmark employers — compare ratings and review counts across an industry.
• Analytics-ready output — clean JSON or CSV, ready for a dashboard or model.

No login, no CAPTCHA, no official API

AmbitionBox has no public bulk-export API and gates data behind an interactive site. This actor resolves your seed company to its AmbitionBox overview page over Indian residential proxies, reads the company's structured data, then fans out across its similar/peer companies to collect more — deduplicating as it goes. There is no account to log in to, no CAPTCHA to solve and no API key to manage. You pay only per company record delivered.

FAQ

Do I need an AmbitionBox login or API key?

No. The actor reads public AmbitionBox overview pages. There is no account to log in to, no CAPTCHA to solve and no API key.

How does the peer fan-out work?

You provide one seed company. The actor returns that company, then follows AmbitionBox's own similar/peer links to collect more companies, deduplicating until it reaches your Max companies limit.

Why is an Indian residential proxy recommended?

AmbitionBox serves an Indian audience and is most reliable over Indian residential IPs (prefilled by default). Leave the prefill in place.

How is pricing calculated?

Pay-per-event: you are charged only per company record delivered. A lifetime free tier lets you test before you spend.

Can I seed with a search term instead of an exact name?

Yes. Use the Search query alias field to seed the crawl with a company or brand. If both it and Company name are provided, Company name takes precedence.
