Church Finder Scraper

Scrapes church listings and full church profiles from Church Finder. Give it a city page such as https://www.churchfinder.com/churches/ny/new-york or a single church profile URL, and it returns structured records containing the church name, denomination, address, phone number, service times, ratings and reviews. Results are available as JSON, CSV or Excel.

✨ Features

• Church profile extraction — church name, denomination / affiliation, full address, phone number, service times, average rating, review count, individual reviews and the church description
• Pagination support — automatically walks through city listing pages until the requested number of churches is collected
• Proxy support — optional Apify Proxy, disabled by default because the site works reliably without it
• Per-URL result limit — dataCount caps results separately for each start URL, so one busy city cannot consume another's quota

🔧 Input Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	✅	https://www.churchfinder.com/churches/ny/new-york	Church Finder URLs to scrape. Accepts city search pages and individual church profile pages. Any URL outside churchfinder.com is skipped with a log message.
dataCount	integer	—	5	Maximum number of churches to scrape for each start URL. Applied per start URL, not across the whole run.
proxyConfiguration	object	—	{ "useApifyProxy": false }	Proxy settings for the run.

Supported URL types:

• City search page — https://www.churchfinder.com/churches/ny/new-york Collects churches from the listing and follows the pager until dataCount is reached.
• Church profile page — https://www.churchfinder.com/churches/ny/new-york/abyssinian-baptist-church Scrapes that single church directly.

📦 Output

The dataset provides one view, Overview, a compact table of the scraped churches showing name, denomination, address, phone, rating, review count and profile URL. The full records additionally include the structured service times, the individual reviews and the church description.
