📒 Gelbe Seiten Scraper — German B2B Leads from the Yellow Pages

Extract business listings from Gelbe Seiten (gelbeseiten.de), Germany's largest business directory. Search any business type in any German city and pull clean, structured records with name, address, phone, email, fax and website — the exact contact data you need for B2B lead generation, sales prospecting and CRM enrichment across the DACH region. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

📒 What is the Gelbe Seiten Scraper?

It turns any Gelbe Seiten search into a ready-to-use lead list. Give it a search term (Suchbegriff) like Zahnarzt, Restaurant or Rechtsanwalt and a German city, and it loads the results, clicks through "Mehr anzeigen" pagination, deduplicates by business name, and optionally visits each detail page to enrich every record with email, fax and website. The output is a flat table — one row per business — that drops straight into your CRM, outreach tool or spreadsheet.

What data does it extract?

• Business name — the company / practice name
• Address — full street, postal code and city, combined into one field
• Phone number as listed on the profile
• Email address (decoded from the listing or pulled from the detail page)
• Fax number when published
• Website — the external company URL
• Gelbe Seiten URL (detail_url) — the source profile link
• Search query & city echoed back on every row, plus a scraped_at timestamp

⬇️ Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Business type or keyword to search, e.g. Zahnarzt, Restaurant, Rechtsanwalt, Physiotherapie
city	string	German city to search in, e.g. Berlin, München, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of business listings to return (1–5000)
includeDetails	boolean	Visit each detail page to extract email, fax and website (slower, more complete)
maxLoadMore	integer	How many times to click "Load More" to load extra listings (0–50)

Example input

{
  "searchQuery": "Zahnarzt",
  "city": "Berlin",

❓ FAQ

How do I scrape Gelbe Seiten listings? Enter a searchQuery (the business type) and a city, set how many results you want, then Run. You get a structured table with name, address, phone, email, fax and website.

Does it extract email addresses? Yes. Emails are decoded directly from the listing where available, and with includeDetails enabled it also opens each profile page to pull email, fax and website for more complete records.

Should I search in German or English? German terms work best — use Klempner instead of plumber, Rechtsanwalt instead of lawyer. For cities with umlauts (München, Köln), pass them with the umlauts intact.

Can I search the whole of Germany at once? Search is scoped to one city per run. To cover a region or the whole country, run the actor once per city (great for scheduling) and combine the datasets.

How many listings can it return? Up to your maxResults cap (max 5000). Use maxLoadMore to control how many "Load More" clicks it performs to surface additional listings.

Why are some emails, faxes or websites empty? Not every business publishes all fields. Empty values simply mean that detail isn't listed on Gelbe Seiten for that company.

Do I need an API key? No. The actor reads publicly available directory data — just provide a search term and a city. No Gelbe Seiten account or login is required.

Can I run it on a schedule or via API? Yes — schedule recurring runs in the Apify Console, call it via the Apify API/SDK, or connect it to Make, Zapier or n8n to keep your lead lists fresh automatically.

Is scraping Gelbe Seiten legal? It extracts publicly accessible business listings. Use it responsibly, respect gelbeseiten.de's Terms of Service, and handle contact data in a GDPR-compliant way (no spam, honor opt-outs).
