Sulekha Business Scraper

Collect public Sulekha business listings and visible profile details with bounded browser requests.

The Actor supports two modes:

• Search a public category page built from serviceCategory and city.
• Visit supplied public /profile/ URLs in profileUrl mode.

It collects information shown on public category listings and business profiles.

Search mode

Search mode is the default. maxItems limits unique businesses returned across the run; maxPages limits category pages visited. deepSearch visits each discovered public business page and merges its visible details into the corresponding row.

{
  "mode": "search",
  "serviceCategory": "plumbers",
  "city": "chennai",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "deepSearch": false
}

serviceCategory and city are lowercase URL slugs.

Profile mode

Profile mode visits up to maxItems supplied canonical public profile URLs. The JSON editor and runtime accept both URL strings and objects containing only url.

{
  "mode": "profileUrl",
  "profileUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.sulekha.com/profile/green-star-plumbing-works-valasaravakkam-chennai" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 1
}

Dataset

Successful rows use the legacy sulekhaBusiness discriminator, success status, and dataAvailable: true flag. Rows contain only public business fields and light provenance: name, businessUrl, phone, phones, email when publicly shown, website, address, locality, businessCity, pincode, ratings, review counts, verification/premium labels, Sulekha score, experience, opening hours, services, descriptions, facilities, testimonials, reviews, images, social links, coordinates, breadcrumbs, requested category/city, source URL, provenance, output position, and timestamp.
