11880 Local Business Directory Scraper

Export German local business leads from 11880.com search and profile pages. The actor collects business names, categories, addresses, phone numbers, emails, websites, ratings, review counts, opening hours, coordinates, and source search metadata when those fields are publicly visible.

What This Actor Does

11880.com is a German local business directory with category and city search pages for restaurants, trades, health providers, shops, services, and other local companies.

This actor turns those public directory pages into structured records you can use for lead research, local market mapping, enrichment, and prospect list building.

Best Use Cases

Use it when you need German business records by keyword and location.

Common examples include restaurant lists in Berlin, dentists in Hamburg, roofers in Munich, plumbers in Cologne, or any other 11880 category/location combination.

Who Is It For

Sales teams use it for local prospect discovery.

Agencies use it for regional market research.

Recruiters and partnership teams use it to identify local service providers.

Analysts use it to compare density, ratings, and contact availability across cities.

Why Use 11880 Data

11880 is focused on Germany and includes many business profiles with phone, email, address, ratings, and opening-hour information.

For German local lead generation, this can be more targeted than broad web search because each row is already a business directory entity.

Input Overview

You can search by searchTerm and location, or provide direct startUrls.

If both are present, startUrls take priority.

Search URLs and profile URLs are both supported.

Search Input

Set searchTerm to a business category or keyword.

Set location to a German city, district, or region.

Example: restaurant and berlin.

Start URLs

Use startUrls when you already have a specific 11880 search result page or profile page.

Supported examples:

https://www.11880.com/suche/restaurant/berlin

https://www.11880.com/branchenbuch/berlin/071364395B107275402/babu-restaurant.html

Result Limits

Use maxResults to cap the number of businesses saved.

Small test runs should use 5 to 20 results.

Larger production runs can raise the limit after you verify the input.

Profile Details

Enable scrapeProfileDetails to open each profile page.

This adds website, coordinates, opening hours, payment methods, and richer category text where available.

Disable it when you only need fast search-page exports.

How Pagination Works

11880 search pages expose page navigation through ?page=N.

The actor follows those pages until it reaches maxResults or stops finding new business records.

Duplicate profile URLs are skipped automatically.

Data Quality

The actor reads schema.org JSON-LD first because it is the most structured public representation on 11880 pages.

Profile pages are used to enrich records where 11880 exposes more detail than the search page.

Fields that are not visible on a page are omitted instead of guessed.

Website Extraction

Website links are collected from profile pages where available.

Some profiles do not publish a website, and those records will have an empty website field.

Email Extraction

Search and profile JSON-LD often expose business email addresses.

The actor saves email values only when the page exposes them directly.

Ratings

Ratings and review counts are extracted from 11880 aggregate rating metadata when present.

Unrated businesses can still be returned with contact and address fields.

Opening Hours

Opening hours are collected from profile-page JSON-LD when scrapeProfileDetails is enabled.

The field is stored as a readable semicolon-separated string.

Pricing

How much does it cost to scrape 11880 business leads?

The actor uses Apify pay-per-event billing:

• Run start event: $0.005 per run
• Result event: $0.000115 per result (FREE) / $0.000100 per result (BRONZE) / $0.000078 per result (SILVER) / $0.00006 per result (GOLD) / $0.00004 per result (PLATINUM) / $0.000028 per result (DIAMOND)

Example cost estimate:

1. 20 results on FREE: 20 x $0.000115 + $0.005 = $0.0073
2. 100 results on BRONZE: 100 x $0.0001 + $0.005 = $0.015
3. 1000 results on SILVER: 1000 x $0.000078 + $0.005 = $0.083

Your exact per-result rate depends on your platform quota tier.

API Usage

You can call the actor with a JSON input body containing searchTerm, location, maxResults, and scrapeProfileDetails.

Use direct startUrls when your workflow already stores 11880 URLs.

Node.js example:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/11880-local-business-directory-scraper').call({
  searchTerm: 'restaurant',
  location: 'berlin',
  maxResults: 20,
  scrapeProfileDetails: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python example:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import os

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("automation-lab/11880-local-business-directory-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "searchTerm": "restaurant",
        "location": "berlin",
        "maxResults": 20,
        "scrapeProfileDetails": True,
    }
)

items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)

cURL example:

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~11880-local-business-directory-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

FAQ

Can I scrape a direct profile URL?

Yes. Add a 11880 profile URL to startUrls.

Can I skip profile pages?

Yes. Set scrapeProfileDetails to false for faster search-page exports.

Why are some websites or emails missing?

11880 profiles vary. The actor only saves contact fields that are publicly visible in the page metadata or profile HTML.

Troubleshooting

If a run returns fewer records than expected, check whether the 11880 search page itself contains enough results.

If website fields are missing, keep scrapeProfileDetails enabled and confirm the profile publishes an external website link.

If a direct URL fails, make sure it is a public 11880 search or profile URL.
