FAQ

Do I need a Zlaté stránky account? No. Search, category browsing, and business detail pages are all publicly accessible without an account.

Does the city filter guarantee I only get businesses in that city? It combines two mechanisms: the city value is folded directly into zlatestranky.sk's own city-scoped URL (e.g. /firmy/Košice/q_reštaurácia/1/), and a diacritics-insensitive client-side check is applied afterward as a safety net against any stray out-of-city result the source itself may mix in.

Why is rating already on a 0-5 scale? Zlaté stránky's own star-rating markup is natively 0-5 (half-star increments), so no conversion is needed — unlike some directories that report ratings as a 0-100 percentage internally.

What's IČO? The Slovak company identification number (Identifikačné číslo organizácie), roughly equivalent to a US EIN or UK company number. Populated whenever the business has one on file, in both search/byCategory and detail-enriched records.

Can I browse categories not in the dropdown examples? Yes — type any Zlaté stránky trade/category term into the category field (anything you find while browsing zlatestranky.sk/rubriky-az/). The field description lists 51 curated, high-traffic examples for convenience.

Why does a website URL sometimes fail a plain curl -I check? The website field links to each business's own external site, not to Zlaté stránky. Some small-business sites block simple bot HEAD requests (common shared-hosting/WAF behavior) while working fine in any real browser or a full GET request. sourceUrl (the Zlaté stránky detail page) and photoUrl/galleryImages (Zlaté stránky's own CDN) are always directly verifiable.

Can I get individual customer reviews, not just the star rating? Yes — with fetchDetails: true (search/byCategory) or mode: byUrl, each record includes a reviews[] array of individual reviews as posted on the business's own Zlaté stránky detail page, each with author (the reviewer's name, or Zlaté stránky's own "Anonym" label for unnamed reviewers), rating (0-5), and text when the reviewer wrote one (many reviews are star-only).

How fresh is the data? Zlaté stránky listings are maintained by business owners and the platform's own data team; most information (hours, ratings, reviews) reflects the live site at scrape time.

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