FAQs

Can I try the API before signing up?

Yes. The playground runs live requests in your browser — free, no account, no API key. Try it in the Playground →

How do I scrape Capterra reviews?

Call the Product Details & Reviews endpoint with a product URL. Every response includes highlighted reviews with full pros/cons text, ratings, the 5-dimension rating breakdown, and rich reviewer context — job title, company size, industry, and how long they used the product.

What data does the API return?

Product Details & Reviews returns 40+ fields per product:

  • Product name, logo, provider, and Capterra link
  • Overall rating and total review count
  • Rating breakdown — ease of use, functionality, value for money, customer support, likelihood to recommend
  • Highlighted reviews — title, overall, pros, cons, rating, reviewer name, job title, company size, and industry
  • Pricing plans and pricing description
  • Pros and cons summaries
  • Integrations, deployment options, mobile apps, support and training options
  • Alternatives and head-to-head comparisons
  • Categories, images, and videos

Products by Category returns per product:

  • Product link
  • Product ID

Category Links and Product Links return the full directory of category and product URLs, with a total count.

How accurate is the data?

The data comes straight from real Capterra profiles — real ratings, reviews, pricing, and product details.

How fresh is the data, and how do I get the newest?

API responses come from a pre-crawled dataset that may be a few months old. For the newest reviews across the full catalog, see Capterra Dataset Downloads.

Will I get blocked or need proxies?

No. We handle the scraping infrastructure — you call a normal REST API and never touch Capterra directly, so there are no proxies, headless browsers, or CAPTCHAs on your side.

What product link format do I pass?

Pass the full Capterra product URL — the one with the product ID, like https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/. For categories, pass the full category URL, like https://www.capterra.com/customer-relationship-management-software/.

How do I discover products and categories to scrape?

Use the Product Links and Category Links endpoints. They return the complete directory — 108,726 products and 8,399 categories — so you can crawl Capterra end to end without guessing URLs.
