Frequently Asked Questions

Is YellowPages data public? Yes. YellowPages.com is a fully public business directory. All data extracted is publicly available without login.

How accurate is the email data? Emails are extracted only when businesses publicly list them on their YellowPages profile page. Not all businesses list email addresses.

Can I scrape multiple cities at once? Run multiple actor instances with different locations simultaneously, or use separate searchQueries per location in sequence.

What is the maximum number of results? YellowPages shows up to 30 results per page and typically 30+ pages per search. For high-volume needs, use multiple specific queries to maximize coverage.

Can I export to CSV or Excel? Yes. Use the Apify dataset export feature to download results as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from your dataset view.

Will my IP get blocked? This actor uses residential proxies with built-in delays to minimize detection. Residential proxies rotate IPs automatically.

Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to run this actor daily or weekly to keep your data fresh.

Does it respect robots.txt? The actor scrapes publicly available pages as a regular user would. YellowPages allows indexing of its public business listings.
