Yellow Pages Business Scraper

Pull business listings from YellowPages.com — names, phones, addresses, websites, ratings, and years in business. A fast way to build targeted lead lists by trade and geography without scraping through page after page manually.

Use Cases

B2B Lead Generation: Search for contractors, lawyers, doctors, or any profession by city. Get phone numbers and websites at scale.

Market Mapping: Find every business in a category across a state or region. Useful for franchise research, territory planning, or sales prospecting.

Data Enrichment: Cross-reference Yellow Pages data with other sources. Years-in-business and category tags add context you won't find on Google Maps.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchTerm	string	What to search for (required)
location	string	City, state, or zip code (required)
maxResults	integer	Max businesses to return (default: 30)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings (recommended)

Tips

• Yellow Pages works best for US-based businesses. Results outside the US are sparse.
• Include the state abbreviation in your location for more accurate results ("Chicago, IL" not just "Chicago").
• Large runs (1,000+) benefit from proxy rotation to avoid blocks.
