TrustMRR Scraper

An Apify actor that scrapes verified startup revenue data from the TrustMRR.com leaderboard. It extracts Stripe-connected financial metrics for indie startups and small businesses.

Overview

This actor scrapes the public leaderboard from TrustMRR.com, a platform that displays verified revenue data for indie startups. All financial metrics are connected via Stripe, providing transparency into the indie maker ecosystem. The scraper handles the site's Next.js client-side rendering to extract the complete dataset.

Key Features

• Extracts complete revenue data: Total revenue, MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), and last 30 days revenue.
• Captures founder and company info: Startup name, founder's Twitter/X handle, and website URL.
• Includes ranking data: Leaderboard position for each startup.
• Provides verified metrics: All revenue figures are Stripe-verified.
• Handles dynamic content: Parses both HTML and Next.js payloads to handle client-side rendering.

How to Use

Run the actor on the Apify platform. No specific input is required to scrape the default leaderboard. The actor will navigate the TrustMRR.com site, handle the "Show more" pagination if necessary, and extract all available startup entries.

The output is a dataset of JSON objects, with each item representing a startup from the leaderboard.
