Reviews API
Reviews from hotel, travel, employer and software sites. Every review scraper returns the same columns, so rows from different sites go into one table.

Shared fields
46 fields with the same names on every review scraper. Capterra Products and Review Monitor return products and checks, not reviews, so their columns differ.

Do rows from different review sites really share columns?
Yes. Every review scraper returns the same fields, such as ratingOverall, date, title, text, pros and cons. A field the site does not have is null. Fields only one site has go under extras.
Capterra Products and Review Monitor return product rows and check summaries, so their columns differ.
Can I get only the reviews added since my last run?
Yes. Every scraper here that returns reviews has an option named onlyNewReviews. It is listed under Input on each scraper page.
Do you ever return personal data?
Not about reviewers or users. Reviewer names, profile links, photos, emails and phone numbers are not collected. When a name appears inside a review or a reply, it is replaced with [name].
Job titles and company sizes stay where a site shows them, because they describe a role rather than a person. On YouTube, channel names and URLs are the publisher labels YouTube shows publicly.
What am I charged for when a run fails or finds nothing?
Nothing. You pay for rows we deliver, at the price on the scraper's page, plus a small start fee on runs that deliver rows. A run that returns rows costs at least $0.005. Failed runs, empty runs and duplicate rows cost $0.
