FAQ

Is scraping Unstop legal? This Actor collects only publicly available listing data about organizations and opportunities, through the public endpoint that Unstop's robots.txt allows. It does not log in and does not collect personal data. Please use the data responsibly and in line with Unstop's terms and applicable laws.

Why do I get fewer results than Unstop shows? With onlyOpen on (the default), expired listings are skipped. Turn it off to include past opportunities too. Unstop's search returns at most 10,000 results per query.

Can I use it with AI agents or via API? Yes. Call it through the Apify API, the Apify MCP server, or integrations such as Zapier, Make and n8n.
