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 ## 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. --- ### Output Each result is a business profile: ```json { "name": "Joe's Plumbing", "phone": "(555) 123-4567", "address": "123 Main St", "city": "Chicago", "state": "IL", "zipCode": "60601", "website": "https://joesplumbing.com", "categories": ["Plumbers", "Water Heaters"], "rating": 4.5, "reviewCount": 42, "yearsInBusiness": 15, "profileUrl": "https://www.yellowpages.com/chicago-il/mips/joes-plumbing" } ```` #### Key Fields - `name`, `phone`, `address` — contact info ready for outreach - `website` — direct link to the business site - `categories` — Yellow Pages classification tags - `rating`, `reviewCount` — YP-sourced ratings (often from Google) - `yearsInBusiness` — how long the business has been listed - `profileUrl` — link back to the Yellow Pages listing *** ### Integrations & API - **Export formats:** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML - **Zapier / Make:** Push leads into your CRM or Google Sheets automatically. - **API:** Apify Python or Node.js client for programmatic runs. *** ### FAQ **How does this compare to Yellow Pages' own data packages?** This scraper gives you fresh, on-demand data. No annual contracts, no stale databases. You pay per result and get current listings. **Does it work outside the US?** Yellow Pages covers primarily US businesses. International coverage is limited. **Can I scrape by zip code?** Yes — just put the zip code in the `location` field. Results will be centered on that area. **How many results can I get?** Up to thousands per search. Yellow Pages paginates automatically, and the scraper handles all of it. *** ### Support Found a bug?
