💡 Tips for best results

• Use exact JustDial category names — copy the slug from a JustDial URL (e.g. /Mumbai/IT-Companies) for precise matching
• Start with small limits — use maxResultsPerSearch: 20 to test your search, then scale up
• Target Tier 2 cities — JustDial's coverage of Nashik, Surat, Indore is much better than Google Maps for local businesses
• Filter by rating — post-process results to keep only businesses with rating >= 4.0 for higher-quality outreach
• Multi-city campaigns — add 5–10 city+category pairs in a single run for bulk lead collection

⚖️ Legality

This actor scrapes publicly available data from JustDial. Business names, addresses, phone numbers, and ratings displayed on JustDial's public search result pages are intended for public discovery of local services. Web scraping of public data is generally lawful under Indian and international law when done for legitimate commercial purposes.

We recommend:

• Respecting rate limits (the actor uses conservative concurrency settings by default)
• Using the data for legitimate B2B outreach, research, or internal use
• Not reselling raw scraped data without adding value
• Complying with applicable data protection regulations (PDPB/IT Act in India, GDPR if handling EU data)

❓ FAQ

Q: How many results can I get per search? A: JustDial typically shows 10 results per page. The actor paginates automatically. Practical limits vary by city and category — major metros often have 50–200+ results for popular categories, while niche categories may have 10–30.

Q: Why is a residential proxy required? A: JustDial uses Akamai bot protection that blocks datacenter IP addresses. Indian residential proxy IPs are required. The actor defaults to Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy group with countryCode=IN. This is included in the PPE pricing.

Q: Phone numbers appear as partial — why? A: JustDial occasionally masks phone numbers in search results for privacy reasons. In most cases, the full number is visible in the HTML source. If you see partial numbers, try the listing URL directly.

Q: Can I scrape a specific locality or area? A: Currently the actor targets city + category. For more specific area targeting, pass the full JustDial search URL (e.g. https://www.justdial.com/Mumbai/Restaurants-in-Bandra) in the urls parameter.

Q: The actor returned 0 results — what happened? A: Most likely the residential proxy IP was rate-limited by JustDial. Try running again (the actor rotates IPs on each run). If issues persist, contact support.

Q: Can I scrape reviews or detailed listing pages? A: This actor focuses on search result pages (high-volume lead lists). For review scraping or detailed listing pages, see Google Maps Reviews Scraper.
