Let’s begin scraping companies on Clutch.co!

Step 1: Scraping Companies

  1. Begin by opening ParseHub on your system and logging in.
  2. Click the blue “New Project” button.
  3. Enter the Clutch.co URL you wish to scrape, we will be scraping top cybersecurity firms with this URL: https://clutch.co/it-services/cybersecurity
  4. Click the first company name to extract it, the rest should turn yellow.
  5. Click the next one to train the algorithm.
  6. Scroll down to the 12th company, and you may need to click that too.
  7. Finally, all 50 companies should be extracted on the first page.
  8. Rename this selection on the left to “company”.

Step 2: Scraping Company Details

  1. Begin by clicking the PLUS(+) button next to your company selection.
  2. Choose “Relative Select” and click the first company’s name.
  3. Now move your cursor to the company’s rating and click it.
  4. Scroll down to the 12th company again and redo the company click and then the rating.
  5. Rename this selection on the left to “rating”.
  6. Redo these steps for the average project price, the hourly rate, the number of employees, the company location, and any other details you require.

Note: You may need to scroll down and do the relative select on the 12th company each time, to train the ParseHub algorithm. Ensure that 50 columns of data are extracted for each relative selection you do.

Step 3: Scraping Multiple Pages

  1. Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the page navigation bar.
  2. Click the PLUS(+) button next to your “page” selection and choose “Select”.
  3. Click the next page button, and rename this selection to “pagination”.
  4. Expand the selection and remove the two extractions.
  5. Click the PLUS(+) button next to your “pagination” selection and choose “Click”.
  6. Click “Yes” as this is a next-page button.
  7. Finally, choose the additional amount of pages you wish to scrape, we chose 2, which means 3 pages in total. Choosing 0 will scrape every single available page!
