--- title: "Scrape Glassdoor company reviews" method: POST path: "/reviews/glassdoor" tags: ["Plugins"] --- # Scrape Glassdoor company reviews `POST /reviews/glassdoor` ## Request - Base URL: `https://api.scrapeunblocker.com` - URL: `https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/reviews/glassdoor` - Auth: API key in header `x-scrapeunblocker-key` Returns a company's Glassdoor employee reviews as JSON. Each review has `id`, `url`, `title`, `rating` (1-5), `subratings` (work/life balance, culture and values, diversity and inclusion, career opportunities, compensation and benefits, senior management), `recommendToFriend`, `ceoApproval`, `businessOutlook`, `pros`, `cons`, `advice`, `jobTitle`, `employmentStatus`, `isCurrentEmployee`, `yearsOfEmployment`, `location`, `date`, `helpfulCount`, `notHelpfulCount`, `featured`, `employerResponse` and `view` (the sort / filter view it came from). The response also carries `summary` (overall rating, review counts, recommend / CEO approval / business outlook percentages, the CEO, sub-rating averages, star distribution, reviews in the last 7 and 30 days), `companyMeta` (name, logo, website, industry, sector, headquarters, size) and `totalReviews`. The counts are Glassdoor's own and measure different sets: `totalReviews` is the number of reviews matching every filter of the call (`rating`, `job_title`, `keyword`, `topic`, `employment_status`, `language`, `current_only`; the default view is English reviews by full-time and part-time employees), the set the views read from. `summary.allReviewsCount` is every review Glassdoor holds for the employer, rated or not, in any language and employment status; no filter changes it. `summary.reviewCount` is the number of ratings behind `summary.overallRating`, and `summary.ratedReviewsCount` the number of reviews that carry a star rating; Glassdoor counts the two separately, so they can differ by a few. Both follow `rating` but not the language or employment filters, so they are usually above `totalReviews`. `summary.ratingDistribution` holds the star counts Glassdoor sends for its rating bars (`overall`, each sub-rating, and `recommendToFriend`); for employers with many reviews they cover only part of them (Google: 18,643 overall against a `reviewCount` of 52,845), so read them as proportions, not totals, and with `rating` set only that star is counted. `summary.reviewsLast7Days` and `reviewsLast30Days` count reviews matching the filters. Give `company` as a Glassdoor employer id, a Glassdoor company URL or a company name. Only US proxies are used (`proxy_country` accepts US or blank): Glassdoor redirects other countries to their local site, where these pages do not exist. Glassdoor shows anonymous visitors only the first page (3 reviews) of each sort / filter view and redirects deeper pages to sign-in, so there is no page parameter: use `sort`, `rating` and the filters to reach other reviews, or raise `max_results` to read several views in one call. `hasMore` is always false and `nextPage` null; `publicLimitReached` is true when fewer reviews came back than asked because the views anonymous visitors may read ran out. Every field is always present and is `null` when Glassdoor does not show it. Billed per review view fetched (`pagesFetched`). ## Query parameters - `company` string, required: The company: a Glassdoor employer id (e.g. '9079'), any Glassdoor company URL (e.g. 'https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Google-Reviews-E9079.htm'), or a company name (e.g. 'Bank of America', matched with Glassdoor's company search). - `sort` string: Review order: recent, helpful, highest, lowest. - `rating` integer, nullable: Only reviews with this overall star rating (1-5). - `job_title` string, nullable: Only reviews from job titles matching this text, e.g. 'software engineer' (Glassdoor's own job-title search). - `keyword` string, nullable: Only reviews mentioning this keyword, e.g. 'remote'. - `topic` string, nullable: Only reviews about one topic: compensation, culture, career_development, management, work_life_balance, diversity_and_inclusion. - `employment_status` string, nullable: Comma list of full_time, part_time, contract, intern, freelance. Defaults to Glassdoor's own view: full_time,part_time. - `language` string, nullable: Comma list of review languages (ISO 639-3): eng, fra, deu, nld, por, spa, ita. Defaults to eng. - `current_only` boolean: Only reviews by current employees. - `max_results` integer: How many reviews to return. Glassdoor shows anonymous visitors 3 reviews per view; above that the call also reads the other sort orders and each star rating, and merges the distinct reviews. - `proxy_country` string, nullable: Proxy country the request is sent from. Only US (or blank, the default) is accepted: Glassdoor redirects visitors from other countries to their local site, where the English reviews pages do not exist. ## Response `200` JSON with a `reviews` array plus the employer summary. - unknown ## Other responses - `400`: Invalid parameters. - `404`: No Glassdoor company matches the id, URL or name. - `422`: Validation Error - `502`: Blocked by Glassdoor on every attempt, or the call did not finish in time. --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/scrapeunblocker/apis/scrapeunblocker-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/scrapeunblocker/apis/scrapeunblocker-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/scrapeunblocker/apis/scrapeunblocker-api/revisions/c02f1254cc47?raw)
