Goldenpages Ireland Scraper

What does Goldenpages Ireland Scraper do?

Goldenpages Ireland Scraper extracts structured record data from goldenpages.ie — including contact details, full descriptions, and location data. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and contact information) where the source provides them.

Key features

• 📍 Coordinates: latitude, longitude and distanceKm on each record that has a location, ready for a map.
• 🏘️ Address: address, street, postalCode and city as separate fields for every record that lists them.
• 📇 Contact details: phone, phones, email and website where the record publishes them.
• 🍽️ Cuisines and place types: businessType tell you what kind of place each record is.
• 🕒 Opening hours: hours where the record publishes them.
• 🖼️ Images: images with every image URL, not just the thumbnail.
• 🔍 Keyword search: search goldenpages.ie by keyword with the query input, in the place you name in location.
• 🧭 Radius search: search around a point with lat, lon and radiusKm.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste goldenpages.ie URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: recurring runs emit only directory entries that are new or updated — keep your supplier-outreach lists fresh without re-fetching the full directory. Saves 80–95% on weekly syncs.
• 🔔 Notifications: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue.

What data can you extract from goldenpages.ie?

Each result includes Core record fields (listingId, branchId, name, title, website, category, categories, and address, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionMarkdown, and detailFetched), and contact information (phone, phones, email, and extractedEmails). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and contact information where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — What to search for — a business type, service or trade (e.g. "plumbers", "dentists", "hotels"). Required if no startUrls provided. Use a JSON array for several terms, e.g. ["plumbers","electricians"].
• location — Irish town, city or county to narrow the search (e.g. "Dublin", "Cork", "Galway"). Leave empty to search all of Ireland. Use a JSON array for several locations.
• maxResults — Maximum number of business listings to return (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• startUrls — Paste goldenpages.ie URLs: a business search page (e.g. https://www.goldenpages.ie/q/business/advanced/where/Cork/what/plumbers/) or a single business page. Each URL becomes its own task; results are merged and deduped by listing ID. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the query/location fields; unsupported URLs are skipped, and if none is supported the run stops with an input error. (default: [])
• includeDetails — Visit each listing's own page to add email address, extra phone numbers, opening hours, photos and social links. (default: true)
• descriptionMaxLength — Truncate each business description to N characters. 0 = no truncation. (default: 0)
• compact — Core fields only (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• descriptionFormat — Which description representations to emit. all keeps description + descriptionMarkdown (default). text / markdown keep only one variant — smaller output. (default: "all")
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null / empty-string / empty-array fields (and fully-null nested objects like socialProfiles) from each output record. Off by default to preserve dataset schema compatibility; turn on to slim output for LLM / agent consumption. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. stateKey is optional — defaults to a value derived from search inputs (queries, locations, startUrls, country) so different filter sets never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• emitUnchanged — Also emit listings that have not changed since the last run (incrementalMode only). (default: false)
• ...and 18 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "query": "plumbers",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit records that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "plumbers",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "plumbers-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "plumbers",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured record records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape goldenpages.ie?

Goldenpages Ireland Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.0045 per run
• Per result: $0.0045 per record record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.049
• 25 results: $0.12
• 100 results: $0.45
• 200 results: $0.9
• 500 results: $2.25

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of records that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 records per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of records.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$1.13	$0.06	$1.07 (95%)	$1.82
15% — moderate broad query	$1.13	$0.17	$0.96 (85%)	$5.20
30% — high-volume aggregator	$1.13	$0.34	$0.79 (70%)	$10.26

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $33.88. First month with incremental costs $2.89 / $6.15 / $11.05 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
