Blind Scraper

InsightSocial's Blind Scraper is a free Chrome extension that exports the comments on a Blind (teamblind.com) post to Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets. Each row has the comment, the company Blind shows next to the commenter, likes, date and which comment it replies to. Small posts come back whole; on a busy post you get the comments Blind lets a browser load, and the side panel shows how many that is.

How it works

From install to file in four steps.

  1. 01

    Add it to Chrome

    Install InsightSocial from the Chrome Web Store and sign in with Google or email. It is free and asks for no card.

  2. 02

    Pin the icon

    Click the puzzle piece in Chrome's toolbar and pin InsightSocial. That icon opens the side panel.

  3. 03

    Open the post, click Scrape

    Open the post on teamblind.com. The first time, Chrome asks you to allow teamblind.com. Click Scrape; the side panel says how many comments it reached out of the total.

  4. 04

    Export

    Open the run in your InsightSocial dashboard and download Excel, CSV or JSON, or send it to Google Sheets.

What you get

A run reads the comments on one Blind post. Each comment becomes a row with its text, the nickname and company Blind shows next to it, likes, date, and the comment it replies to, so the thread keeps its shape in a spreadsheet. Copying a thread by hand loses the companies and the reply structure, which are usually the point.

People use it to keep a useful offer, layoff or interview thread as a file, and to read how a company's employees describe pay and culture. Blind is anonymous: the file holds what the page shows, nothing that identifies the person behind a nickname.

Workplace talk also happens on Reddit: the Reddit Comments Scraper exports a full thread. Every site is on the review scraper hub.
