Tips and limits

• Start with maxItems between 10 and 50 until you verify the category/city quality.
• Use focused city/category combinations for cleaner lead lists.
• JustDial may block non-India or datacenter traffic; use Apify Proxy with India residential routing when needed.
• Optional fields are nullable because JustDial may hide or omit them for some listings.
• The Actor does not guarantee emails, WhatsApp numbers, hidden contacts, or owner-only data.

FAQ

Does this scrape private JustDial leads? No. It only processes public JustDial pages and visible fields.

Can it guarantee email or WhatsApp fields? No. Those fields are not guaranteed because they may be hidden, absent, or outside public JustDial listing data.

Why do some rows have missing fields? JustDial does not show every optional field for every listing. Missing optional fields are listed in missingFields.

Which proxy should I use? India residential Apify Proxy routing is recommended for reliable access.
