Infoisinfo Business Directory Scraper

Scrape Infoisinfo, a leading Spain business directory covering 300+ cities. Search by category and city, or fetch specific business profile pages directly — no login, no cookies, no API key required.

What this actor does

• Two modes: search (category + city, paginated) and byUrl (fetch specific business profile pages)
• Rich business data: name, category, address (street/city/province/postal code), GPS coordinates, phone (unmasked via infoisinfo.es's own reveal endpoint), website, description, and review count
• 52 curated categories and 147 curated major cities/provincial capitals, both with free-text override — any of infoisinfo.es's 300+ city subdomains or category slugs works even if not in the dropdown
• Empty fields are omitted — every record only contains data actually found for that business
• Full Spanish UTF-8 diacritics support — city names, addresses, and descriptions are preserved exactly (Alcalá de Henares, Logroño, Cádiz, etc.)

Output per business

• businessId, sourceUrl — unique ID and canonical infoisinfo.es business profile ("ficha") URL
• businessName
• category — e.g. Restaurante, Bar (profile page only)
• streetAddress, city, province, postalCode
• latitude, longitude — read directly from the search-results page for every business (no extra request needed); refined from the profile page's own geo data when fetchDetails is enabled
• phone — real, unmasked phone number (profile page only, when fetchPhone is enabled)
• website (profile page only)
• reviewCount — only present when the business has 1+ reviews
• description
• recordType: "business", scrapedAt

(profile page only) fields are only populated when fetchDetails: true is set (the default for search mode), or always for byUrl mode.

FAQ

Do I need an infoisinfo.es login? No. Category/city search and business profile pages are all publicly accessible without an account.

Why don't most businesses have a rating field? infoisinfo.es's business profile pages don't reliably expose a computed average-rating value in the page markup — only a review count. To avoid fabricating data, this actor only emits reviewCount (and only when it's greater than 0); it never emits a guessed or default rating.

Can I search categories or cities not in the dropdown? Yes — type any category slug into customCategory (e.g. opticas) or any Spanish city/town name into customCity (e.g. San Sebastián de los Reyes); both are automatically converted to infoisinfo.es's URL-slug format. The dropdowns list the most common ~52 categories and ~147 major cities for convenience; infoisinfo.es itself covers 300+ cities.

Why does website sometimes fail a plain curl -I check? The website field links to each business's own external site, not to infoisinfo.es. Some small-business sites block simple bot requests (shared hosting/WAF) while working fine in a browser. sourceUrl (the infoisinfo.es business profile) is always directly verifiable.

How does phone reveal work, and can it fail? infoisinfo.es masks phone numbers on the page and unmasks them via a small internal endpoint. This actor calls that endpoint automatically when fetchPhone is enabled. On the rare occasion the endpoint doesn't return a number, the phone field is simply omitted from that record rather than showing a fake or masked value.

Is this actor affiliated with Infoisinfo? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads Infoisinfo's publicly available pages. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Infoisinfo.
