# Glassdoor Company Overview Scraper (`xtracto/glassdoor-company`) Actor Extract a company's Glassdoor overview: overall rating, sub-ratings (culture, work-life, comp, leadership), CEO approval, review & salary counts, industry, size, HQ, website and description. Input company URLs or employer IDs. No login required. - **URL**: https://apify.com/xtracto/glassdoor-company.md - **Developed by:** [Farhan Febrian Nauval](https://apify.com/xtracto) (community) - **Categories:** Jobs - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $2.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Glassdoor Company Overview Scraper Extract a company's full Glassdoor overview — ratings, company profile, and review/salary counts — from a company URL or employer ID. One result = one company. ### Why use this actor - No account, no login, and no API key required - Full rating breakdown: overall, culture, work-life balance, compensation, leadership, CEO approval, recommend-to-friend - Company profile: industry, size, headquarters, website, and description - Review and salary counts so you can size each company's data footprint - Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, dashboards, or databases - Automatic retries and IP switching if a request is temporarily blocked ### How it works 1. You give the actor one or more companies — a Glassdoor company page link (Overview or Reviews) or just the employer ID number. 2. The actor opens each company's overview and reads the full profile and rating breakdown. 3. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't manage scrapers, browsers, or retries — the actor handles all of that. ### Input ```json { "companies": [ "https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Google-EI_IE9079.11,17.htm" ], "concurrency": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `companies` | array | Company URLs (Overview or Reviews pages) or bare employer ID numbers. | | `concurrency` | integer | How many companies to process in parallel. Default 3. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Residential is recommended. | ### Output ```json { "_input": "https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Google-EI_IE9079.11,17.htm", "_source": "S1-ssr-flight", "_scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T19:19:39Z", "recordType": "COMPANY_OVERVIEW", "employerId": 9079, "name": "Google Inc.", "shortName": "Google", "headquarters": "Mountain View, CA", "size": "10000+ Employees", "website": "https://goo.gle/4ehVuXi", "primaryIndustry": { "industryId": 200063, "industryName": "Internet & Web Services", "sectorId": 10013, "sectorName": "Information Technology" }, "counts": { "reviewCount": 70188, "salaryCount": 190496 }, "ratings": { "overallRating": 4.4, "compensationAndBenefitsRating": 4.5 }, "detailedRatings": { "overallRating": 4.4, "careerOpportunitiesRating": 4.2, "compensationAndBenefitsRating": 4.5, "cultureAndValuesRating": 4.3, "diversityAndInclusionRating": 4.4, "workLifeBalanceRating": 4.2, "seniorManagementRating": 3.9, "businessOutlookRating": 0.81, "ceoRating": 0.82, "recommendToFriendRating": 0.87, "reviewCount": 51995 }, "squareLogoUrl": "https://media.glassdoor.com/sql/9079/google-squarelogo-1441130773284.png", "overview": { "description": "Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds ... (truncated)" } } ``` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `_input` | string | The company URL or ID you supplied. | | `_scrapedAt` | string | UTC timestamp of extraction. | | `recordType` | string | Always `COMPANY_OVERVIEW`. | | `employerId` | number | Glassdoor's internal company ID. | | `name` / `shortName` | string | Legal name and display name. | | `headquarters` | string | HQ location. | | `size` | string | Employee-count band. | | `website` | string | Company website. | | `primaryIndustry` | object | Industry and sector names/IDs. | | `counts` | object | `reviewCount`, `salaryCount`. | | `ratings` / `detailedRatings` | object | Overall plus every sub-rating, CEO approval, recommend-to-friend, business outlook. | | `squareLogoUrl` | string | Company logo image. | | `overview` | object | Company description. | A company that can't be found returns a record with an `_error` field instead of being dropped. ### Notes - Ratings and counts are point-in-time and change as new reviews arrive. - Residential proxy is recommended; the actor switches IP automatically if temporarily blocked. ### Related actors Part of a Glassdoor suite (one event per actor): **Company Overview**, **Reviews**, and Jobs. # Actor input Schema ## `companies` (type: `array`): One entry per company. Each may be a Glassdoor company URL (Overview or Reviews page) or a bare Glassdoor employer ID number. Example: https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Google-EI\_IE9079.11,17.htm ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): How many companies to fetch in parallel. Keep low (1-3); higher values increase the chance of being temporarily rate-limited. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Residential proxies are strongly recommended for reliable results; the actor automatically switches IP if it is temporarily blocked. ## Actor input object example ```json { "companies": [ "https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Google-EI_IE9079.11,17.htm" ], "concurrency": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
