What this actor does

• Six modes: search, byCity, byCategory, latest, popular, byUrl

FAQ

What is the data source? This actor reads publicly available business listing pages published on imenik.eu. It is an independent, third-party tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Imenik.eu.

Do I need an API key, login, or proxy? No. Imenik.eu's business listing and detail pages are publicly accessible. Proxy configuration is optional and normally unnecessary.

Why do some businesses have fewer fields than others? Imenik.eu businesses are typically self-registered or imported from public company registries, so field completeness varies — not every business lists a website, email, opening hours, or rating. Only fields that Imenik.eu actually publishes for that business are included in the record.

Why does category sometimes look like a legal entity type (e.g. "Društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću")? Imenik.eu's category taxonomy covers both real trades/services (e.g. "Vodoinstalater" = plumber, "Frizer" = hairdresser) and registered Croatian legal-entity forms (e.g. LLC, joint-stock company). Both are genuine per-business categories the site assigns, so both appear as-is.

What's the difference between city/category and cityFilter/categoryFilter? city and category pick which Imenik.eu page to browse when using mode=byCity or mode=byCategory. cityFilter and categoryFilter are independent post-fetch filters that narrow results from any mode (including combining a category filter on top of a city browse, or vice versa).

How many cities and categories does Imenik.eu have? Imenik.eu lists businesses across roughly 3,200 Croatian city/town slugs and about 540 category slugs. This actor curates the ~90 most useful cities and ~55 most useful categories as dropdown options, with free-text citySlug/categorySlug override fields for anything else — find the exact slug from a business's own city/category badge on imenik.eu, or from imenik.eu/statistika.

How fresh is the data? Every run fetches live pages from imenik.eu at request time — there is no cached or stale data.

Is mode=search the same as browsing a city or category? No. mode=search runs a free-text keyword search across all business names/categories on Imenik.eu (via imenik.eu's own search), independent of any specific city or category page.
