Kununu Reviews Scraper

What employees say,
as a spreadsheet.

Give it a kununu company URL - or just a company name - and get that employer's reviews back as rows: the star rating, the headline, what the reviewer liked and didn't, the date, and whether they would recommend the place. Sorted newest-first by default, or however you choose. No kununu account, no proxy pool, no parser to keep alive.

How it works

An employer list in,
its reviews out.

The input is the company, not the review - you name the employers you want feedback on and the job collects what their people wrote.

  1. STEP 1Sign in to the platform.
  2. STEP 2Open the Kununu Reviews Scraper.
  3. STEP 3Paste kununu company URLs or company names, one per line - or upload a CSV, XLSX, TXT or Parquet file.
  4. STEP 4Set a limit per query, or leave it at zero to take everything.
  5. STEP 5Pick a sort order and choose your output format.
  6. STEP 6Click Get Data.

One row per review, each tagged with the query it came from - so a run across a dozen employers still reconciles back to your input list.

Why teams use it

The honest version of
an employer brand.

A company name is enough

Paste the kununu URL if you have it, or just the employer's name and the job resolves it. The URL is the better input, and for one concrete reason - only URL queries come back with a permalink to each review.

The bot wall is our problem

kununu sits behind bot mitigation, which is why a hand-rolled script on an office IP gets a human-verification page instead of data. Rate limiting and IP rotation happen on our side; from yours it is a form or an API call.

Sorted before it is pulled

Choose the sort order and cap the rows per query up front, so credits go on the slice you actually want rather than on an export you delete most of.

What you get back

Eleven columns,
one row per review.

Each row carries the review as kununu displays it: the rating, the headline, the pros and cons, the free-text comment, the date, whether the reviewer would recommend the employer, and a link straight back to the review it came from.

Text comes back verbatim, with no preprocessing applied, so downstream sentiment work reads the reviewer's own wording rather than ours. The column list below is the header row of real runs rather than a specification - and the honest part of it is which columns are usually empty, because most reviewers leave a rating and a headline and nothing else.

Data dictionary

Eleven columns in the file,
twelve in the JSON.

Taken from the header row of real runs. Where a field is marked optional below, that describes what reviewers choose to fill in - not the scrape. How often it carries a value will vary with the employer and with how many reviews you pull.

query
The company URL or name you submitted, repeated on every row that came from it.
company
The employer’s name as kununu displays it.
position
The reviewer’s relationship to the company - employee, manager, intern, apprentice, student or contractor. Not a rank; see the note below. Occasionally blank.
rating
The reviewer’s overall score to one decimal, 1.0 to 5.0. A string in the export, not a number.
title
The review headline. Filled on every row.
pros
What the reviewer said was good about the employer. Optional on kununu - an empty cell means they left the box blank.
cons
What they said was bad. Optional in the same way.
text
The remaining free-text comment, where the reviewer wrote one. Frequently blank.
date
The date the review was posted, as YYYY-MM-DD. Filled on every row.
recommended
Whether the reviewer would recommend the employer - the literal strings Yes and No, capitalised.
review_url
Permalink to the individual review: the company page URL plus a fragment carrying the review’s id.
position_index
1-based rank within the query, in the order kununu returned the reviews under your chosen sort. JSON only - the CSV and XLSX exports stop at eleven columns.

Three things to know before you write code against this. position is the reviewer’s employment status, not a position in the list - the rank is position_index, and that field exists only in the JSON, so a CSV or XLSX export has eleven columns rather than twelve. review_url comes back empty for every row of a query submitted as a company name: pass the kununu URL when you need per-review permalinks. And pros, cons and text are three independent free-text answers that most reviewers skip, while title, rating, date and recommended are the ones that reliably carry a value.

Run controls

Set on the job,
not in the spreadsheet.

Sort order and a per-query limit decide what a run costs and what lands in the file. Both are chosen before the job starts, alongside how you hand over the list of employers.

A few examples of how teams use employer review data to answer a question they actually have.

Employer brand

Read your own reviews as a corpus

Pull your company's full history and read the one- and two-star text together rather than one at a time. Recurring complaints surface as repeated language - far more actionable for an HR team than an average that moved a tenth of a point.

HR · People
Recruiting

Know the employer before the candidate does

Pros, cons and the recommendation column give you the version current staff wrote, not the one the careers page did. Useful whether you are placing candidates or deciding which brief to take.

Talent
Research

Benchmark a sector

Take twenty employers in one industry and export the lot. Ratings, recommendation rates and verbatim text in a single file let you compare workplaces on evidence rather than on reputation.

The legal bit

Is it legal to scrape
kununu reviews?

Short answer: yes for the public review content - and this export carries no reviewer identity at all.

Reviews on kununu are published to be read. The rating, the headline, the pros and cons, the date and the recommendation are shown to anyone who opens the company page, signed in or not. Collecting publicly visible feedback for research is long-established practice, and nothing here touches a login or a paywall.

One point is worth stating plainly rather than burying, because it is unusual. There is no reviewer identity in this output - no name, no profile link, no avatar. The closest thing to an identifier is position, which records only whether the person was an employee, an intern or a contractor. That is a genuine difference from a marketplace review scrape, and it is a property of what kununu publishes rather than a filter we apply afterwards.

kununu's own terms restrict automated access, so this is a terms question as well as a legal one - if you have a contractual relationship with the site, check it. We run no third-party trackers on the data layer, and your exports auto-delete after 30 days.

Common questions

Things people

The questions we hear most. Anything else? Talk to us - humans, not bots, write the answers.

How do I scrape kununu reviews?+
Using the Kununu Reviews Scraper:
  1. Sign in to the platform.
  2. Open the Kununu Reviews Scraper.
  3. Paste kununu company URLs or company names, one per line - or upload a CSV, XLSX, TXT or Parquet file.
  4. Set a limit per query, or leave it at zero to take everything.
  5. Pick a sort order and choose your output format.
  6. Click Get Data.
Can I use a company name, or do I need the kununu URL?+
Either works - paste whichever your list already holds, one per line. The URL is the better input for one concrete reason: rows from a URL query carry a permalink back to each individual review, and rows from a name query do not. If you never need to link back, a name is fine.
What comes back for each review?+
Eleven columns: the query you submitted, the company name, the reviewer's relationship to it, the rating, the headline, the pros, the cons, the free-text comment, the date, whether they would recommend the employer, and the review permalink. The JSON adds a twelfth, position_index, which the CSV and XLSX exports omit.
Why are the pros, cons and text columns empty on so many rows?+
Because reviewers left them blank. Those three are independent free-text answers on kununu, and most people fill in a rating and a headline and stop there. An empty cell means the reviewer wrote nothing in that box, not that the field failed to collect. How often they appear depends on the employer you pull and on how far back you go.
Is there a reviewer name in the data?+
No. kununu publishes employer reviews without an author identity, so there is no name, profile link or avatar to collect. The only thing describing the person is the position column, which says whether they were an employee, manager, intern, apprentice, student or contractor.
Can I sort or limit the reviews?+
Yes, and both are set before the run rather than afterwards. Sort by Newest, Oldest, Date, Beste or Schlechteste, set a limit per query, or leave the limit at zero to take everything a company has. There is also an oldest-first option for walking a company's history from the beginning.
Will I get blocked or see a verification page?+
No. kununu is bot-protected, which is exactly why a hand-rolled script tends to come back with a human-verification page rather than data. Rate limiting, IP rotation and bot mitigation are handled on our side - from your end it is a form or an API call, and you never manage a proxy pool.
How much does it cost?+
The first 500 rows are free and one-time, with no credit card. After that it is $0.002 per row - about $2 per 1,000 reviews - which is the same flat rate as every other scraper on the platform. The estimator shows the cost of a run before it starts.

Your first 500 reviews,

500 one-time free rows on every new account - no expiry. After that it is $0.002 per row, pay-as-you-go - no card on file until you say so.

Scrape kununu employer reviews at scale

Livescraper's Kununu Reviews Scraper turns a list of employers into review data. You submit kununu company URLs or plain company names - typed one per line, or uploaded as a CSV, XLSX, TXT or Parquet file - choose how the reviews should be sorted, cap the rows per query if you want to, and download what current and former staff wrote as a clean CSV, Excel or JSON file.

Each row carries the review as kununu displays it: the rating to one decimal, the headline, what the reviewer liked and disliked, the remaining free-text comment, the posting date, whether they would recommend the employer, and a permalink back to the review itself. Text is preserved verbatim, which matters if the next step is a sentiment model - the analysis then reads the reviewer's wording rather than ours.

HR and employer-brand teams pull their own company's history and read the low-star text as a corpus, where recurring complaints appear as repeated language instead of a rating that drifted. Recruiters check what current staff say about an employer before a candidate asks. Researchers export twenty companies in a sector at once and compare ratings, recommendation rates and verbatim comments in a single file.

One property of this dataset is unusual and worth knowing up front: kununu publishes employer reviews without an author identity, so the export contains no reviewer name, profile link or avatar. The only field describing the person is their relationship to the company - employee, manager, intern, apprentice, student or contractor. Start free: your first 500 rows cost nothing and need no credit card, and after that it is $0.002 per row, flat.
