How to Scrape Glassdoor Salary Data and Company Reviews

Glassdoor has salaries, reviews, and interview data for millions of companies.

The Challenge

Glassdoor requires login for most data and actively blocks scrapers.

What Works

1. Google Cache

site:glassdoor.com "software engineer" "salary" "San Francisco"

Google indexes Glassdoor pages — use Google to search them.

2. Alternative Salary Data Sources

Source	Data	Access
levels.fyi	Tech salaries	Public website
Payscale	Salary ranges	Public API
Indeed	Salary estimates	Search results
LinkedIn	Salary insights	Limited API
BLS.gov	Government wage data	Free API

3. BLS API (Free, Official)

async function getBLSSalary(seriesId) {
  const url = "https://api.bls.gov/publicAPI/v2/timeseries/data/";
  const res = await fetch(url, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ seriesid: [seriesId] })
  });
  return res.json();
}

Use Cases

1. Salary benchmarking
2. Employer branding research
3. Job market analysis
4. Interview preparation data
5. Competitor employer comparison
