How to Scrape AmbitionBox Company Reviews and Ratings

AmbitionBox is the go-to employer review platform in India, covering 300,000+ companies with ratings, salary benchmarks, and interview experiences. There is no official API. Here is how to get the data.

What data is available

Every company profile on AmbitionBox includes:

• Overall rating (1-5 scale, based on all reviews)
• Five dimension scores: Work-Life Balance, Salary & Benefits, Job Security, Career Growth, Company Culture
• Review count and salary count
• Company metadata: industry, ownership type, headquarters, employee size, founding year
• Interview difficulty rating and count

All of this is publicly visible without creating an account.

Using the Apify actor

The AmbitionBox Scraper returns structured JSON per company:

import apify_client

client = apify_client.ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN')

run_input = {
    "companies": [
        "tata-consultancy-services",
        "infosys",
        "wipro",
        "hcl-technologies",
        "tech-mahindra",
    ],
}

run = client.actor('themineworks/ambitionbox-companies').call(run_input=run_input)

for company in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(f"{company['name']}: {company['overall_rating']} ({company['review_count']} reviews)")
    print(f"  Work-Life Balance: {company['ratings']['work_life_balance']}")
    print(f"  Salary & Benefits: {company['ratings']['salary_benefits']}")
    print(f"  Career Growth:     {company['ratings']['career_growth']}")

Building a competitor employer brand benchmark

A common use case is benchmarking your employer brand against competitors:

import pandas as pd

results = list(client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items())
df = pd.DataFrame(results)

# Sort by overall rating
print(df[['name', 'overall_rating', 'review_count', 'ratings']].sort_values('overall_rating', ascending=False))

Use cases in HR tech

Industry filtering

Search by industry to compare all companies in a sector:

    "minReviews": 100,   # filter out companies with too few reviews to be statistically meaningful
    "maxResults": 200,
}
