Local Business Leads – OpenStreetMap, Emails & Phones

Build local business lead lists by category and city: plumbers in Denver, dentists in Austin, restaurants in Manchester, lawyers in Lyon. Each lead has the name, category, full address, phone, website, email, opening hours, GPS coordinates and social links. You can also turn on website enrichment, which visits each business's own website and adds the emails, phone numbers and Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn/X/YouTube/TikTok links it finds there.

The data comes from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), the open, community-built world map that powers thousands of apps and websites. This Actor does not scrape Google Maps, Yelp or any other site that forbids it. No login, no cookies, no proxies, no API key.

$3 per 1,000 leads. Website enrichment adds $2 per 1,000 websites it reaches. You only pay for leads you actually get.

Who is it for?

• Lead-gen agencies and B2B sales teams selling to local businesses: web design, SEO, POS, payments, insurance, software, supplies
• Cold-outreach and CRM building: email and phone lists for a niche and city
• Market research and site selection: count competitors by category and neighbourhood, with coordinates you can map
• Data and AI teams that need clean, openly licensed POI data that can be stored and reused (Google Maps data can't)

Features

• 🗂️ 95 ready-made categories in plain English (dentist, plumber, hvac, roofer, restaurant, cafe, hair salon, lawyer, accountant, real estate agent, gym, car repair, veterinarian, hotel…) plus any raw OSM tag (shop=bakery, craft=*, cuisine~pizza)
• 📍 Locations as plain text ("Austin, TX", "Manchester, UK"). The Actor finds the official city boundary in OpenStreetMap, so it doesn't pick up the next town over. You can also search a radius around a lat/lng.
• 📞 Phone, website, email, opening hours, address parts, coordinates, brand, operator, cuisine, wheelchair access, Wikidata ID, OSM link and last-edit date
• 📧 Optional website enrichment: homepage plus up to 4 contact/about/impressum pages. Business's own domain only, robots.txt respected, 1 request per second per site, identifiable User-Agent.
• ⭐ Contact-rich leads first, so a small maxItems still returns the businesses you can actually contact
• 🧹 Filters: only businesses with a phone, website, email or any contact; named businesses only
• ♻️ Retries with exponential backoff and automatic failover between public Overpass servers. Deduplication across categories and locations.
• 💵 Stops cleanly at your Maximum cost per run

Search	Leads	Phone	Website	Email	Opening hours	Address (street)
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers in Denver, CO + website enrichment	32	46%	43%	25% (12% from OSM tags, the rest added from websites)	28%	100%

Dentists in Austin, TX + enrichment, Maximum cost $0.05 (stopped at 10 leads + 9 enrichments = $0.048)	10	100%	100%	60%	90%	100%
Roofers/plumbers/electricians in Denver, only with email (enrichment on)	6	100%	100%	100%	66%	100%
shop=bakery within 2 km of central Paris (radius search)	25	80%	88%	24%	100%	60%

How complete each field is depends on how well local mappers have covered the area. Restaurants, cafés, shops, healthcare and hotels in big cities are usually covered well. Trades (plumbers, roofers) often have fewer entries than Google Maps.

FAQ

Is this legal? Yes. OpenStreetMap data is open under the ODbL licence. You must credit "© OpenStreetMap contributors" when you use it publicly, and if you publish a database derived from it, that database must also be under the ODbL (share-alike). Every item carries an attribution field. Website enrichment only reads public pages on the business's own site, follows robots.txt and never logs in. You are responsible for how you use contact data, e.g. GDPR, CAN-SPAM and CASL rules for cold email.

Which servers does it use? By default it uses public Overpass API instances whose published usage policy allows use in any project: VK Maps and Private.coffee. It does not use overpass-api.de, because that server's policy asks commercial users to self-host or pay. It does not call the public Nominatim geocoder: locations are resolved with Overpass itself. Queries run one at a time with a pause between them. If you run large or frequent jobs, put your own or a paid Overpass endpoint in Overpass API endpoints.

Does it store anything in my account? Yes, one small thing. Resolved city boundaries are cached in a named key-value store, osm-local-business-leads-cache, so repeat runs for the same city need fewer requests to the public servers. You can delete it at any time.

Why did a run take a few minutes? The public Overpass servers are often busy and reply "try again later". The Actor waits and retries with exponential backoff, switching between servers, rather than hammering them. A typical city search returns in 1–5 minutes. If the servers stay unavailable for about 10 minutes, the run fails with a clear message and nothing is charged.

Why are some fields empty? OpenStreetMap only has what volunteers have mapped. Turn on website enrichment to fill in emails, phones and social links from the business's own website.

Can I get reviews or ratings? No. OpenStreetMap does not store them.

Can I search a whole state or country? Yes, if you list the cities. Very large areas can time out on the free public servers. Split them into cities, or use your own Overpass endpoint.
