How it works

JustDial is a Next.js app that embeds all search results as a JSON object (__NEXT_DATA__) in the initial HTML. This actor:

1. Routes each request through ScraperAPI using premium Indian residential IPs to bypass Akamai bot detection
2. Extracts the embedded JSON — no fragile CSS selectors, no browser required
3. Maps the clean data fields to the output schema
4. Paginates automatically until maxResults is reached
5. Adds 1.5–3 s random delays between pages to respect rate limits

Phone numbers are available directly in the JSON (no CSS decoding required).

Tips

• ScraperAPI key required — get a free key at scraperapi.com. Pass it as scraperApiKey input or set SCRAPERAPI_KEY as an environment variable in actor settings.
• One JustDial page returns ~10 listings. For 100 results the actor fetches ~10 pages.
• Results are ready to export as CSV, JSON, or Excel from the dataset view.
• The profileUrl field links directly to each business's full JustDial page for deeper scraping.
