What is a Glassdoor scraper?
The Decodo Glassdoor scraper is a scraping API that retrieves public Glassdoor data like job postings, reviews, salaries, interview insights, and company ratings. It handles rendering, IP rotation, and parsing, so teams collect structured data through a single Web Scraping API request instead of maintaining their own stack.
What does it do?
The Glassdoor scraper API takes a Glassdoor URL or a search query, for example, for a job title, location, or company name, and returns the matching public data as structured fields. It removes the need to maintain in-house parsers, headless browsers, or proxy infrastructure: JavaScript rendering and IP rotation are handled automatically, and results come back ready to drop into a database, spreadsheet, or analytics pipeline.
How does it work?
Get Glassdoor data in 3 simple steps. Submit a URL or search parameters, and Decodo will handle the retrieval, processing, and delivery of structured results.
- Send a request. Enter a Glassdoor target URL or search parameters (job title, location, company) to the API endpoint.
- Decodo retrieves the page. The Glassdoor scraper API renders JavaScript and routes the request through Decodo's proxy network with automatic IP rotation.
- Receive structured data. Job, salary, or review data returns in your chosen format: JSON, CSV, HTML, XHR, PNG, or Markdown.
What data can you get?
Access the information you need to track hiring trends, evaluate employers, and support workforce intelligence initiatives at scale.
- Job titles and descriptions
- Company names and profile data
- Salary ranges and estimates
- Employer reviews and ratings
- Pros and cons summaries
- Interview questions and experiences
- Job locations and remote flags
- Posting dates and application links
- Company size and industry
Why use Decodo's Glassdoor scraper API?
Building a Glassdoor scraper in-house means maintaining rendering, anti-bot handling, maintenance, and everything else yourself, which takes time, know-how, and it can be costly. The Decodo Glassdoor scraper API handles all of that as a managed service, with high success rates, multiple output formats, and ready-made templates.

What are the use cases for a Glassdoor scraper API?
How do you monitor competitor hiring trends?
Track which roles competitors post, where, and how often to identify hiring trends, expansion plans, and strategic priorities. Collected on a recurring basis, listings build a time-series view of a competitor's hiring – with titles, locations, and posting dates returned as structured fields.
How do you benchmark salaries and compensation?
Use salary data from multiple job titles, seniority levels, and regions to understand market pay trends and build more competitive compensation strategies. Structured JSON and CSV output make the data easy to analyze and integrate into existing workflows.
How do you analyze employer reputation?
Collect reviews, pros and cons, star ratings, and CEO-approval signals at scale to study sentiment over time. This supports employer-brand tracking and reputation studies. Aggregating thousands of reviews into structured records enables text analysis and trend lines that are impractical page by page.
How do you power a job board or aggregator?
Feed structured Glassdoor listings directly into a job board, search tool, or recruitment platform. The Glassdoor scraper API supplies titles, descriptions, locations, remote flags, and application links in a consistent schema, so listings stay fresh and searchable without maintaining a separate ingestion pipeline.
How do you build recruitment and labor-market datasets?
Assemble large structured datasets of job postings, salaries, and company profiles for HR analytics, labor-market research, and workforce forecasting. Combined fields of role, location, salary, company size, and industry support modeling of skill demand, wage trends, and hiring velocity at scale.
How do you integrate the Glassdoor scraper API with Python, Node.js, or cURL?
The Glassdoor scraper API is a standard REST endpoint, so it integrates with any language that can send an authenticated HTTP request. Pass your target URL or search parameters and choose an output format, then handle the structured response in your code. The examples below show the same request in Python, Node.js, and cURL.
How do you get started?
Quick start
Enter your target URL and parameters like job title, location, company, or a URL in the dashboard, then run it and export to JSON or CSV. No code required, and a fast way for developers to validate fields first.
API integration
For production workflows, get your API key from the developer documentation and send requests via Python, Node.js, or cURL. Set the output format per request and route the structured response into your database, analytics stack, or AI pipeline. Native n8n, LangChain, MCP, and OpenClaw integrations connect to existing automations.
Free starter plan
Start on the free plan with up to 2K requests to test job, salary, and review extraction at no cost, with no credit card required. The free plan uses the same engine and features as paid tiers, so you can scale up later without rebuilding your setup.
How is the Glassdoor scraper API priced?
Decodo uses pay-per-request pricing – you pay only for successful data extractions. JavaScript rendering (optional), IP rotation, and all output formats are included in every request. Start for free with up to 2K requests and scale easily.
What does Web Scraping API cost?
Choose a plan based on your scraping volume. All plans include the same powerful features – you only pay for what you use. Start with the free plan to test before committing.

How Do APIs Work? The Ultimate Guide to Application Programming Interfaces
Every time you check the weather, order food, or scroll through social media, APIs are working behind the scenes to make it happen. An API (Application Programming Interface) is essentially a set of rules that lets different software applications talk to each other and share data without you ever noticing. In this guide, you'll learn more about what they are, how they work, and even get the chance to create your own.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Glassdoor scraper API free to start?
Yes. The free starter plan includes up to 2K requests with no credit card required, so the Glassdoor scraper API can be tested before committing to a paid plan. The free plan runs on the same engine, output formats, and templates as paid tiers, which means the data quality and field coverage you see during testing match what you get at scale. This lets teams validate job, salary, and review extraction against their real use case before any spend.
Do I need my own proxies or browser setup?
No. Decodo handles JavaScript rendering and IP rotation across a 125M+ IP network spanning 195+ locations, so there’s no separate proxy pool, headless browser, or rendering service to configure and maintain. This removes the most common sources of scraper breakage and engineering overhead – managing proxy health and keeping a rendering layer running.
Does Glassdoor have an API?
Glassdoor doesn’t offer a broadly available public API for jobs and reviews. The Decodo Glassdoor scraper API provides structured access to public Glassdoor data, including listings, salaries, and reviews. The output options include JSON, CSV, HTML, XHR, PNG, and Markdown, which help teams integrate Glassdoor data without an official API. For a deeper look at the trade-offs, see Decodo's guide on the difference between an API and web scraping.
Is the Glassdoor API free?
There’s no free, openly available official Glassdoor API for this data. Decodo's Glassdoor Scraper offers a free plan with up to 2K requests as a starting point, and request-based paid tiers when you need higher volume. This gives teams a clear, predictable cost path that an unavailable official API does not.
What data formats does the scraper return?
Decodo’s Glassdoor scraper API returns HTML, JSON, CSV, XHR, PNG, and Markdown, selectable per request. JSON and CSV suit analytics and database workflows, Markdown fits LLM and RAG pipelines, and PNG captures visual page snapshots.
Can I scrape Glassdoor reviews and ratings?
Yes. The scraper returns public reviews, pros and cons, star ratings, CEO-approval signals, and related employer-reputation data in structured form, so sentiment and reputation analysis can run at scale.
