Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bing Maps Business Listings Scraper Extract business listings from **Bing Maps** using Playwright browser automation. Search for restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, dentists, or any local business by keyword and location. > **Note on Bing Maps API:** The official Bing Maps Local Search REST API was retired by Microsoft on August 11, 2025. This actor scrapes the Bing Maps website directly, which continues to serve comprehensive business listing data. ### Features - Search businesses by **keyword** (e.g. "coffee shops", "Italian restaurant", "dentist") - Filter by **location** (city, area, or full address) - Returns: name, category, address, phone, website, rating, review count, coordinates, opening hours - Automatic pagination to collect more results - JSON-LD structured data extraction for richer results - Apify Proxy AUTO group support to avoid rate limits ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `mode` | select | `search` (keyword + location) or `nearbySearch` | | `searchQuery` | string | Business type to search (e.g. "coffee shops") | | `location` | string | City or area (e.g. "London", "Paris, France") | | `maxItems` | integer | Max results to return (1–200, default 20) | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Proxy settings (recommended: Apify AUTO) | ### Output | Field | Description | |---|---| | `name` | Business name | | `category` | Business category (e.g. "Coffee Shop") | | `address` | Full address | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Business website | | `rating` | Rating (0–5) | | `reviewCount` | Number of reviews | | `lat` | Latitude | | `lon` | Longitude | | `openingHours` | Opening hours | | `priceLevel` | Price level | | `thumbnailUrl` | Business photo URL | | `url` | Bing Maps listing URL | | `scrapedAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp | ### Example Input ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "coffee shops", "location": "London", "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true} } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "name": "The Coffee House", "category": "Coffee Shop", "address": "123 Oxford Street, London W1D 1BS", "phone": "+44 20 7946 0000", "website": "https://www.thecoffeehouse.co.uk", "rating": 4.5, "reviewCount": 1234, "lat": 51.5074, "lon": -0.1278, "openingHours": "Mo-Su 07:00-22:00", "url": "https://www.bing.com/maps?q=coffee+house+london", "recordType": "business", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-22T10:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### FAQ **Why use this instead of the Bing Maps API?** Microsoft retired the Bing Maps Local Search API in August 2025. This actor scrapes the Bing Maps website which still provides full business listing data. **Do I need a Bing account?** No. Bing Maps search results are publicly accessible. **How many results can I get?** Up to 200 per run. Bing Maps typically shows 10–20 results per page. **Will it get blocked?** We recommend enabling Apify Proxy (AUTO group) for best results. **What data sources does Bing Maps use?** Bing Maps aggregates data from multiple sources including Yelp, TripAdvisor, and its own local business database. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Scraping mode.
