-# Capterra — Scraping & Data Extraction
-
-Field-tested against capterra.com on 2026-04-18. All code blocks validated with live requests.
-
-## Do this first
-
-**Use `User-Agent: ClaudeBot` — Capterra explicitly allows it in robots.txt and returns clean, pre-rendered Markdown instead of JavaScript-heavy HTML. No browser needed.**
-
-Capterra serves a fully structured Markdown representation of every page to AI bots (`ClaudeBot`, `GPTBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `Anthropic-AI` are all listed as `Allow: /` in robots.txt). The Markdown format is far easier to parse than HTML.
-
-With the default `Mozilla/5.0` UA (or any realistic browser UA), Capterra returns HTTP 403 with `Cf-Mitigated: challenge` — Cloudflare blocks all browser UA requests. There is no bypass via HTTP; those pages require a real browser session.
-
-```python
-from helpers import http_get
-import re, json
-
-# Works everywhere:
-html = http_get(
-    "https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/reviews/",
-    headers={"User-Agent": "ClaudeBot"}
-)
-
-# Extract overall rating and review count from the Markdown header line "4.7 (24059)"
-m = re.search(r'^([\d.]+)\s+\(([\d,]+)\)$', html, re.MULTILINE)
-print(m.group(1), m.group(2))   # 4.7  24059
-```
-

-
-## Fastest approach: product summary in one call
-
-All key metrics — overall rating, review count, sub-ratings, pagination — come from the `/reviews/` endpoint in a single request.
-
-```python
-from helpers import http_get
-import re, json
-
-def get_product_summary(product_id, slug):
-    """
-    Returns overall rating, review count, sub-ratings.
-    product_id: Capterra numeric ID (e.g. 135003)
-    slug: URL slug (e.g. 'Slack')
-    """
-    url = f"https://www.capterra.com/p/{product_id}/{slug}/reviews/"
-    html = http_get(url, headers={"User-Agent": "ClaudeBot"})
-
-    result = {"product_id": product_id, "slug": slug}
-
-    # Overall rating + review count from header line "4.7 (24059)"
-    m = re.search(r'^([\d.]+)\s+\(([\d,]+)\)$', html, re.MULTILINE)
-    if m:
-        result["overall_rating"] = float(m.group(1))
-        result["review_count"] = int(m.group(2).replace(",", ""))

-## URL patterns
-
-| Page type | URL pattern |
-|-----------|-------------|
-| Product overview | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/` |
-| Product reviews | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/reviews/` |
-| Reviews page N | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/reviews/?page={N}` |
-| Reviews (alt) | `https://www.capterra.com/reviews/{id}/{Slug}/` |
-| Category listing | `https://www.capterra.com/{category}-software/` |
-| Category page N | `https://www.capterra.com/{category}-software/?page={N}` |
-| All categories | `https://www.capterra.com/categories/` |
-| Product pricing | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/pricing/` |
-| Product alternatives | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/alternatives/` |
-| Compare A vs B | `https://www.capterra.com/compare/{id_a}-{id_b}/{Slug_a}-vs-{Slug_b}` |
-
-**Finding a product's ID:** Look in the URL of any product listing in a category page. The pattern `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/reviews/` appears in every category listing as the link target for each rating badge. The slug is case-sensitive in practice (e.g. `Slack`, not `slack`).
-
-Product IDs are stable numeric identifiers. Note that the same software vendor may have multiple product IDs under different names/versions. Always find the ID from a category search rather than guessing.

-## Anti-bot measures
-
-- **Cloudflare is active on all routes** (`Server: cloudflare`, `CF-RAY` present in all response headers).
-- **Browser UAs (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) return HTTP 403** with `Cf-Mitigated: challenge` regardless of how complete the headers are. There is no HTTP-only bypass.
-- **`ClaudeBot` UA bypasses Cloudflare** and receives clean pre-rendered Markdown. Capterra explicitly allows it in `robots.txt` via `User-agent: ClaudeBot / Allow: /`. This is a deliberate AI-accessibility feature.
-- **Other AI bot UAs that also work**: `GPTBot`, `PerplexityBot` (also in `robots.txt` Allow list). `Anthropic-AI` was tested and returns 403 — only `ClaudeBot` is the correct UA.
-- **The search endpoint (`/search/?q=...`) returns empty results** via ClaudeBot — the query parameter is not passed through. Use category browsing or direct product URLs instead.
-- **No CAPTCHA observed** during testing with ClaudeBot.
-- **No rate limiting observed**: 10 parallel requests across 5 workers completed in ~2s with all 200 responses. Sequential batches of 5 pages at 0.15–0.95s per request also worked cleanly.
-- **The Markdown response has no JSON-LD, no `__NEXT_DATA__`** — these are HTML-only structures. The Markdown format is simpler to parse.
-- **Disallowed paths** (from robots.txt): `/search`, `/ppc/clicks/`, `/sem-b/`, `/sem-compare-b/`, `/workspace/`, `/auth/login`. These 403 even with ClaudeBot.
-
----
-
-## Gotchas
-
-- **Old Capterra product IDs may be invalid.** The URL `https://www.capterra.com/p/56703/Slack/` (ID 56703) returns 404 even with ClaudeBot — this is a stale or merged product ID. Slack's current ID is 135003, found in the team-communication-software category listing. Always discover IDs by crawling category pages rather than hard-coding them.
-
-- **Slug is case-sensitive.** `Slack` works; `slack` returns 404. The slug is always in the category listing data.
-
-- **Response is Markdown, not HTML.** `http_get` returns pre-rendered Markdown with no HTML tags, no JSON-LD, and no `__NEXT_DATA__`. Do not attempt `BeautifulSoup` parsing. Use `re` on the text directly.
-
-- **`http_get` default UA is `Mozilla/5.0`** — this returns 403 from Capterra. Always pass `headers={"User-Agent": "ClaudeBot"}` explicitly.
-
-- **Reviews page vs product page**: The `/reviews/` page has a clean rating header (`4.7 (24059)`) on line 10. The product overview page (`/p/{id}/{Slug}/`) has the same number buried deeper in the page as `\n4.7\n\nBased on 24,059 reviews\n`. For rating extraction, the reviews page is simpler and more reliable.
-
-- **Category page 1 is larger than subsequent pages**: Page 1 includes editorial content (author bio, top-picks editorial) which can double the page size. Subsequent pages are ~20–30KB and contain only listings.
-
-- **Reviewer name is present in the text but not cleanly delimited**: The Markdown format for reviewer attribution uses plain text lines above the review body. It's easier to skip reviewer name extraction than to parse the ambiguous formatting.
-
-- **Sub-rating labels in reviews page**: "Ease of use" (lowercase 'u') and "Customer Service" (capitalized 'S') — match exactly. The product overview page may show additional sub-ratings like "Features" and "Value for money".
-
-- **`rating_breakdown` pattern caveat**: The pattern `[1-5]\(\d+\)` on the product page can also match feature ratings. To isolate the 5-star breakdown, find it within the "Filter by rating" section, which appears as a block like `5(17268)\n\n4(5708)\n\n3(907)\n\n2(128)\n\n1(48)`.
-

-
-## When to use the browser instead
-
-The browser is not needed for any common Capterra task — the ClaudeBot flow handles all of them. Use the browser only if:
-
-- You need to interact with a page element (e.g. submit a review, use the "fit-finder" wizard).
-- You need to access a Capterra page that is explicitly blocked in robots.txt (e.g. `/workspace/`, `/auth/login/`).
-- You need to simulate a logged-in user session with Capterra credentials.
-
-For read-only scraping of product data, reviews, and category listings, `http_get` with `ClaudeBot` UA is both faster and more reliable than a browser.

+Field-tested against capterra.com on 2026-04-18. All code blocks validated with live requests.
+
+## Do this first
+
+**Use `User-Agent: ClaudeBot` — Capterra explicitly allows it in robots.txt and returns clean, pre-rendered Markdown instead of JavaScript-heavy HTML. No browser needed.**
+
+Capterra serves a fully structured Markdown representation of every page to AI bots (`ClaudeBot`, `GPTBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `Anthropic-AI` are all listed as `Allow: /` in robots.txt). The Markdown format is far easier to parse than HTML.
+
+With the default `Mozilla/5.0` UA (or any realistic browser UA), Capterra returns HTTP 403 with `Cf-Mitigated: challenge` — Cloudflare blocks all browser UA requests. There is no bypass via HTTP; those pages require a real browser session.
+
+```python
+from helpers import http_get
+import re, json
+
+# Works everywhere:
+html = http_get(
+    "https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/reviews/",
+    headers={"User-Agent": "ClaudeBot"}
+)
+
+# Extract overall rating and review count from the Markdown header line "4.7 (24059)"
+m = re.search(r'^([\d.]+)\s+\(([\d,]+)\)$', html, re.MULTILINE)
+print(m.group(1), m.group(2))   # 4.7  24059
+```

+
+## Fastest approach: product summary in one call
+
+All key metrics — overall rating, review count, sub-ratings, pagination — come from the `/reviews/` endpoint in a single request.
+
+```python
+from helpers import http_get
+import re, json
+
+def get_product_summary(product_id, slug):
+    """
+    Returns overall rating, review count, sub-ratings.

+## URL patterns
+
+| Page type | URL pattern |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Product overview | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/` |
+| Product reviews | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/reviews/` |
+| Reviews page N | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/reviews/?page={N}` |
+| Reviews (alt) | `https://www.capterra.com/reviews/{id}/{Slug}/` |
+| Category listing | `https://www.capterra.com/{category}-software/` |
+| Category page N | `https://www.capterra.com/{category}-software/?page={N}` |
+| All categories | `https://www.capterra.com/categories/` |
+| Product pricing | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/pricing/` |
+| Product alternatives | `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/alternatives/` |
+| Compare A vs B | `https://www.capterra.com/compare/{id_a}-{id_b}/{Slug_a}-vs-{Slug_b}` |
+
+**Finding a product's ID:** Look in the URL of any product listing in a category page. The pattern `https://www.capterra.com/p/{id}/{Slug}/reviews/` appears in every category listing as the link target for each rating badge. The slug is case-sensitive in practice (e.g. `Slack`, not `slack`).
+
+Product IDs are stable numeric identifiers. Note that the same software vendor may have multiple product IDs under different names/versions. Always find the ID from a category search rather than guessing.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-bot measures
+
+- **Cloudflare is active on all routes** (`Server: cloudflare`, `CF-RAY` present in all response headers).
+- **Browser UAs (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) return HTTP 403** with `Cf-Mitigated: challenge` regardless of how complete the headers are. There is no HTTP-only bypass.
+- **`ClaudeBot` UA bypasses Cloudflare** and receives clean pre-rendered Markdown. Capterra explicitly allows it in `robots.txt` via `User-agent: ClaudeBot / Allow: /`. This is a deliberate AI-accessibility feature.
+- **Other AI bot UAs that also work**: `GPTBot`, `PerplexityBot` (also in `robots.txt` Allow list). `Anthropic-AI` was tested and returns 403 — only `ClaudeBot` is the correct UA.
+- **The search endpoint (`/search/?q=...`) returns empty results** via ClaudeBot — the query parameter is not passed through. Use category browsing or direct product URLs instead.
+- **No CAPTCHA observed** during testing with ClaudeBot.
+- **No rate limiting observed**: 10 parallel requests across 5 workers completed in ~2s with all 200 responses. Sequential batches of 5 pages at 0.15–0.95s per request also worked cleanly.
+- **The Markdown response has no JSON-LD, no `__NEXT_DATA__`** — these are HTML-only structures. The Markdown format is simpler to parse.
+- **Disallowed paths** (from robots.txt): `/search`, `/ppc/clicks/`, `/sem-b/`, `/sem-compare-b/`, `/workspace/`, `/auth/login`. These 403 even with ClaudeBot.
+
+---
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Old Capterra product IDs may be invalid.** The URL `https://www.capterra.com/p/56703/Slack/` (ID 56703) returns 404 even with ClaudeBot — this is a stale or merged product ID. Slack's current ID is 135003, found in the team-communication-software category listing. Always discover IDs by crawling category pages rather than hard-coding them.
+
+- **Slug is case-sensitive.** `Slack` works; `slack` returns 404. The slug is always in the category listing data.
+
+- **Response is Markdown, not HTML.** `http_get` returns pre-rendered Markdown with no HTML tags, no JSON-LD, and no `__NEXT_DATA__`. Do not attempt `BeautifulSoup` parsing. Use `re` on the text directly.
+
+- **`http_get` default UA is `Mozilla/5.0`** — this returns 403 from Capterra. Always pass `headers={"User-Agent": "ClaudeBot"}` explicitly.
+
+- **Reviews page vs product page**: The `/reviews/` page has a clean rating header (`4.7 (24059)`) on line 10. The product overview page (`/p/{id}/{Slug}/`) has the same number buried deeper in the page as `\n4.7\n\nBased on 24,059 reviews\n`. For rating extraction, the reviews page is simpler and more reliable.
+
+- **Category page 1 is larger than subsequent pages**: Page 1 includes editorial content (author bio, top-picks editorial) which can double the page size. Subsequent pages are ~20–30KB and contain only listings.
+
+- **Reviewer name is present in the text but not cleanly delimited**: The Markdown format for reviewer attribution uses plain text lines above the review body. It's easier to skip reviewer name extraction than to parse the ambiguous formatting.
+
+- **Sub-rating labels in reviews page**: "Ease of use" (lowercase 'u') and "Customer Service" (capitalized 'S') — match exactly. The product overview page may show additional sub-ratings like "Features" and "Value for money".
+
+- **`rating_breakdown` pattern caveat**: The pattern `[1-5]\(\d+\)` on the product page can also match feature ratings. To isolate the 5-star breakdown, find it within the "Filter by rating" section, which appears as a block like `5(17268)\n\n4(5708)\n\n3(907)\n\n2(128)\n\n1(48)`.
+
+---
+
+## When to use the browser instead
+
+The browser is not needed for any common Capterra task — the ClaudeBot flow handles all of them. Use the browser only if:
+
+- You need to interact with a page element (e.g. submit a review, use the "fit-finder" wizard).
+- You need to access a Capterra page that is explicitly blocked in robots.txt (e.g. `/workspace/`, `/auth/login/`).
+- You need to simulate a logged-in user session with Capterra credentials.
+
+For read-only scraping of product data, reviews, and category listings, `http_get` with `ClaudeBot` UA is both faster and more reliable than a browser.
