Harness the capabilities of our Clutch.co Data Scraper to extract valuable data. Retrieve in-depth company details, numeric focus, genuine client reviews, portfolios, and more from Clutch.co's expansive commercial database. Effortlessly explore top company listings and conduct precise targeted searches.
Features
While Clutch.co lacks a versatile or free API, our scraper serves as an unofficial Clutch API, enabling you to efficiently extract the data you require at scale. The Clutch.co Scraper offers the following features:
- Company Profile Scraping
- Keyword Search
- List Scraping
- Reviews Scraping
Clutch.co is a platform featuring in-depth client reviews, data-driven content, and vetted market leaders. Extracting and structuring this content through scraping provides invaluable business insights, offering a competitive edge.

Input Parameters
Please find the updated version of the text below:
This scraper's input configuration is specified in JSON format, which includes the list of Clutch.co pages to visit. The key fields that need to be considered are:
- search (Optional) (String): A keyword for Clutch.co search, which is mandatory when the mode is specified.
- customMapFunction (Optional) (String): A function which takes every object's handle like an argument, performs functions, and returns object.
- endPage (Optional) (Number): The final page number for scraping; the default is infinite. This works with all the search requests as well as startUrls individually.
- extendOutputFunction (Optional) (String): A function that accepts a jQuery handle ($) as an argument and returns an object with data.
- includeReviews (Optional) (Boolean): An optional parameter (default: false) to add reviews into the profile objects. Set to true to scrape company reviews.
- maxItems (Optional) (Number): Limits the number of scraped items, which is useful for handling extensive lists or search results.
- mode (Optional) (String): The mode for utilizing the search keyword; the values can only be profiles and companies. This is mandatory when the search field is defined.
- proxy (Required) (Proxy Object): Configures the proxy settings, necessitating either personal proxy servers or utilizing the Real Data API Proxy.
- startUrls (Optional) (Array): A list of Clutch.co URLs; provide either a list or detailed URLs.
Please make sure that the JSON formatting is correct in order to execute the scraper with the specified input parameters smoothly.
This solution requires the use of proxy servers, either your own proxy servers or Real Data API Proxy.
Note
To initiate scraping for a specific listing URL, simply copy and paste the link as one of the startURLs. If you intend to scrape only the first page of a list, provide the page link and set the endPage as 1. Note that enabling the includeReviews parameter generates multiple requests per company, potentially leading to higher consumption of requests or CUs. Exercise caution when setting this option to true.
Unit Consumption
The Clutch.co Scraper is finely tuned for rapid performance, prioritizing listing detail requests for optimal efficiency. Under minimal blocking conditions, it can swiftly scrape 100 listings in 2 minutes, consuming approximately 0.07-0.08 compute units. This emphasis on speed ensures efficient and effective extraction of data.

Run
Throughout the execution, the actor generates informative messages indicating the current page from the provided list. When items are successfully loaded from a page, corresponding messages display the count of loaded items and the total item count for that page. In the event of incorrect input, the actor promptly halts, entering a failure state, and provides an explanation of the encountered issue. This transparent communication system ensures users are well-informed about the progress and outcomes of the actor run.
Clutch.co Data Export
Throughout the execution, the actor stores results in a dataset, with each item represented as a distinct entry. Users have the flexibility to manage these results in any programming language, whether it's Python, PHP, or Node.js/NPM. For detailed guidance on extracting results from this Clutch.co actor, refer to the FAQ or consult our API reference for comprehensive information.
