✨ Features of this Yellow Pages Australia business scraper

• Email extraction — business emails where the page lists one, plus employee emails found on each business website.
• Business listing extraction — name, phone, full address, categories, website, rating, years in business and a short description from any Yellow Pages Australia search or category page.
• Pagination support — walks the result pages of each search until it has the number of businesses you asked for.
• Search terms and locations — give any number of terms and locations; every term is searched in every location.
• Business page details — optional: opens each business page for the full description, coordinates, opening hours, email, ABN, ACN, staff size, payment methods and social links.
• Employee contacts (leads) — optional: finds employee names, roles, emails and LinkedIn links from each business's website.
• Cache, new and changed businesses only — use one cache name across scheduled runs and skip businesses you already have.
• No proxy needed — pages are loaded by the Actor's built-in service, so you leave proxies off.

🚀 How to scrape Yellow Pages Australia businesses in 5 steps

1. Sign up for a free Apify account — includes $5 monthly credit.
2. Open the actor page and click Try for free.
3. Paste Yellow Pages Australia search URLs, or fill in Search terms and Locations.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to complete.
5. Download results from the Output tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

You can also run this actor via the Apify API or integrate it directly into your workflows using Zapier, Make, or n8n.

💰 Pricing for the Yellow Pages Australia scraper

This actor uses pay-per-result billing based on the compute units a run consumes.

• New Apify accounts include $5 of free monthly credit.
• It reads the data straight from the directory's pages instead of driving a browser, so it costs significantly less to run than browser-based scrapers.
• Business pages (the Scrape business pages option) are charged separately, per business whose page is opened, on top of the result price. Runs with business pages off pay only the standard result price.
• Employee contacts are charged separately, and only when the lookup successfully returns a list of contacts: every business you are charged for comes with at least one contact. The charge is once per business, not per contact. Businesses with no website, or where no contacts are found, are not charged for it.
• Businesses skipped by the cache are not charged.

📧 How to find Yellow Pages Australia business emails and employee contacts (email enrichment)

Switch on Find employee contacts and the actor looks up each business's website and adds a leads array with employee names, roles, departments, emails, phone numbers and LinkedIn links when they can be found. The leads field is always present on every record: it is an empty array when the business has no website or nothing was found. The contacts charge is applied only when the lookup successfully returns a list of contacts, so every charged business has at least one lead. It is charged once per business, not per contact, and never when leads is empty. The lookup runs once per business website.

name	email	position
Jane Example	jane@example.com	Owner
John Sample	john@example.com	Office manager

🔁 Scrape only new Yellow Pages Australia businesses with the cache

Set the same Cache project name on every scheduled run. Businesses already saved under that name and unchanged are skipped: they are not charged and do not count towards Max items per search. New businesses get changeType: "new" and businesses whose phone, address, website or rating changed get changeType: "updated". Each name keeps its own separate cache. Add the actor to an Apify Schedule to track new businesses in a category and area automatically.

🐍 How to scrape Yellow Pages Australia with Python, JavaScript or the API

Run the actor programmatically with the official Apify clients. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token from your Apify Console.

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("confidential_gnat/yellowpages-australia-scraper").call(run_input={
        "searchTerms": [
            "plumber"
        ],
        "locations": [
            "Sydney, NSW"
        ],
        "maxItems": 20,
        "scrapeDetails": False,
        "enrichLeads": True
    })

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('confidential_gnat/yellowpages-australia-scraper').call({
        "searchTerms": [
            "plumber"
        ],
        "locations": [
            "Sydney, NSW"
        ],
        "maxItems": 20,
        "scrapeDetails": false,
        "enrichLeads": true
    });

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL — start a run and wait for the dataset:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/confidential_gnat~yellowpages-australia-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["plumber"], "locations": ["Sydney, NSW"], "maxItems": 20, "scrapeDetails": false, "enrichLeads": true}'

💡 What you can use Yellow Pages Australia business data for

• Lead generation: phone numbers, websites and emails of local businesses by category and area
• Sales prospecting with employee names, roles and emails from each company website
• Local market research and competitor mapping by category, city and rating
• Building and enriching CRM and mailing lists
• Monitoring new businesses and changes in a category with scheduled cached runs

Sales teams, marketing agencies, recruiters and market researchers typically use this data across services, trades, retail and hospitality.

⚠️ Limitations of the Yellow Pages Australia scraper

• Result depth — one search shows a limited number of result pages; for more businesses use more search terms and locations.
• Service-area businesses — some businesses list the area they serve instead of a street address, so street, city and postcode can be empty.
• Reviews and ratings — ratings and counts are only present for businesses that have reviews.
• Emails — an email address is only present when the business lists one on its page; use employee contacts for more.
• Login-required content — nothing behind a login is collected.

❓ Yellow Pages Australia scraper FAQ

Can I scrape Yellow Pages Australia legally?

The actor only collects data that is already publicly visible on Yellow Pages Australia — no login, paywall or private content is accessed. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered lawful (see hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), but you are responsible for complying with the site's Terms of Service and applicable laws such as GDPR or CCPA, since business listings can contain personal data such as names, phone numbers and emails.

What data does the Yellow Pages Australia scraper return?

Each record has the business name, phone, address, categories, website, rating and more. With business pages on you also get the full description, coordinates, opening hours, email, ABN, ACN, staff size, payment methods and social links. With employee contacts on, each record also has a leads array with employee names, roles and emails: business emails where the page lists one, plus employee emails found on each business website.

How many businesses can I scrape from one Yellow Pages Australia search?

maxItems limits the businesses saved for each search URL, not the whole run. A search shows a limited number of result pages; to collect more, use several search terms and locations.

Do I need a proxy to scrape yellowpages.com.au?

No. Pages are loaded by the Actor's built-in service, so you leave the proxy off.

How do I find emails of businesses on Yellow Pages Australia?

Switch on Find employee contacts: the actor looks up each business's website and adds employee names, roles and emails to a leads array. It is charged separately and only when the lookup successfully returns contacts: once per business, with at least one lead in every charged record, and nothing when leads is empty.

How do I scrape Yellow Pages Australia with Python?

Use the Python example above: call the actor with the Apify client and iterate over the dataset items.

Can I run this Yellow Pages Australia scraper on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run it daily or weekly. Set a Cache project name and each run returns only new and changed businesses; businesses already seen and unchanged are skipped and not charged.

What output formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, either from the Output tab or through the Apify API.
