11880.com Scraper - German Business Directory

Scrape 11880.com — one of Germany's leading business directories (run by 11880 Solutions AG, formerly klicktel). Search any business category in any German city, town, or postal code and get names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, opening status, categories, and more. Optionally follow through to each business's full profile page for the website URL, fax number, precise GPS coordinates, complete weekly opening hours, services, social links, and customer reviews. No login, no cookies, no API key required.

Use cases

• Local lead generation — build a prospect list of businesses by trade and city for B2B outreach
• Market research — measure business density and average ratings for a category across German cities
• Directory aggregation — feed structured German business data into your own local-search product
• Competitor mapping — see who else operates in a category and area, with ratings and contact info
• Reputation monitoring — pull individual customer reviews per business (with fetchDetails: true)

Limitations

• Sort order is controlled client-side by 11880.com's JavaScript UI (Standard / Bewertung / Entfernung) and is not exposed via a stable URL parameter; results are returned in the site's own default relevance order.
• Some fields (website, fax, full openingHours, services, socialLinks, images, reviews) are only available on the business's full profile page — enable fetchDetails in search mode, or use detail mode directly, to populate them.

FAQ

What data source does this actor use? It reads the publicly available search and business-profile pages on 11880.com, a leading German business directory (11880 Solutions AG). No account or API key is needed.

Is this affiliated with 11880.com? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads publicly accessible pages.

Why do some businesses have no rating, phone, or website? 11880.com only shows a rating once a business has received at least one review, and only shows contact details a business itself provided. Fields with no data are simply omitted from the record rather than shown as empty or null.

Can I search by postal code instead of a city name? Yes — the city field accepts German postal codes as well as city/town names.

What happens if I type a city or category with umlauts? 11880.com normalizes umlauts and casing automatically (e.g. "München" and "Munchen" both resolve to the same results), so you can type city and category names naturally.

How accurate are the GPS coordinates? latitude/longitude come directly from the business's own 11880.com profile page (only available with fetchDetails: true in search mode, or always in detail mode).

Why is fetchDetails off by default? Fetching each business's full profile page requires one extra request per result, which is slower. Turn it on when you need the website, fax number, coordinates, full weekly opening hours, services, social links, or reviews.

How does minRating differ from ratedOnly? ratedOnly returns any business with at least one review (any star rating). minRating excludes businesses rated below the chosen number of stars, but — like ratedOnly — does not by itself exclude businesses with no rating at all (an absent field is treated as "not disqualified" rather than "fails the check"). Combine minRating with ratedOnly: true to get only businesses rated at or above your threshold with no unrated results mixed in.

Why does openNowOnly sometimes return businesses with no visible open/closed status? 11880.com only shows a live open/closed badge for categories where it makes sense (e.g. hairdressers, restaurants). Professional-services categories like lawyers or notaries often don't display one at all — since there's no status to check, those listings aren't excluded by openNowOnly (same "absent field passes through" convention used by minRating).

What are isPremium/premiumTier? 11880.com sells premium/sponsored listing placements (shown at the top of search results, badged "SILBER"/"GOLD"/etc.). These fields let you distinguish paid placements from organic listings.
