They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## JustDial Business Leads Scraper Extract public JustDial business listings for Indian lead research, market mapping, local sales prospecting, and CRM enrichment. Search by city and category or paste public JustDial URLs, then export structured rows as CSV, JSON, Excel, or through the Apify API. ### Value proposition JustDial is a major India local-business directory. This Actor turns public JustDial discovery pages into structured lead rows that sales, marketing, research, and operations teams can filter, dedupe, enrich, and import into downstream tools. ### What it does / what data it exports - **Finds public businesses** from JustDial category/search pages. - **Supports city/category inputs** such as restaurants in Delhi or digital marketing agencies in Mumbai. - **Accepts Start URLs** for public JustDial category, search, or listing pages. - **Returns lead-ready fields** including business name, listing URL, city, locality/address, visible contact snippets, website, ratings, review counts, images, and diagnostics. - **Stays public-data only**: no login cookies, owner dashboards, inquiry sending, hidden contact unlocks, or private lead gates. ### Who is it for? - **B2B sales teams** building city/category prospect lists. - **Local marketers** comparing agencies, restaurants, clinics, shops, or service providers by city. - **Market researchers** mapping public local-business supply in India. - **Automation builders** feeding public directory rows into CRMs, spreadsheets, or enrichment workflows. ### Input recipes Use these recipes before public Store examples exist. **Delhi restaurant leads** ```json { "categories": ["restaurants"], "cities": ["Delhi"], "maxItems": 50, "maxPagesPerSource": 2, "includeDetails": false, "failOnNoResults": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ```` **Multi-city agency map** ```json { "categories": ["digital marketing agencies"], "cities": ["Mumbai", "Delhi"], "maxItems": 75, "maxPagesPerSource": 2, "includeDetails": false, "failOnNoResults": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ``` **Pasted JustDial URL** ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.justdial.com/Delhi/Restaurants/nct-10408936" }], "maxItems": 20, "maxPagesPerSource": 1, "includeDetails": true, "failOnNoResults": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ``` ### Input example ```json { "categories": ["restaurants"], "cities": ["Delhi"], "maxItems": 10, "maxPagesPerSource": 1, "includeDetails": false, "failOnNoResults": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ``` ### Input settings | Setting | JSON key | Use it for | | --- | --- | --- | | Categories or queries | `categories` | JustDial searches/categories to combine with cities. | | Cities | `cities` | Indian cities to search. | | Start URLs | `startUrls` | Public JustDial category/search/listing URLs. | | Maximum businesses | `maxItems` | Cap saved rows and control spend. | | Maximum pages per source | `maxPagesPerSource` | Bound pagination for each source. | | Include detail pages | `includeDetails` | Request public listing detail enrichment when available. | | Fail if no businesses are found | `failOnNoResults` | Make blocking/empty results fail loudly. | | Proxy configuration | `proxyConfiguration` | Apify Proxy settings; India residential routing is recommended. | ### Output fields | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `businessName` | Public JustDial business/listing name. | | `listingUrl` | Public JustDial listing URL. | | `sourceUrl`, `sourceQuery`, `category`, `city` | Source context for the row. | | `locality`, `address` | Public location text when visible. | | `phoneText` | Public contact snippet when visible without private actions. | | `websiteUrl` | Website URL when visible. | | `rating`, `reviewCount` | Reputation metrics when visible. | | `hoursText`, `imageUrl`, `photoCount`, `description` | Optional public enrichment fields. | | `detailStatus` | `not_requested`, `loaded`, `blocked`, or `not_found`. | | `missingFields`, `warnings` | Diagnostics for absent optional fields or partial extraction. | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp when the row was saved. | ### Example output ```json { "businessName": "Ghar Ka Khana", "listingUrl": "https://www.justdial.com/Delhi/Ghar-Ka-Khana-Near-Batra-Cinema-Dr-Mukherjee-Nagar/011PXX11-XX11-240521131429-S8X8_BZDET", "sourceUrl": "https://www.justdial.com/Delhi/restaurants", "sourceQuery": "restaurants", "category": "restaurants", "city": "Delhi", "phoneText": "+(91)-8816042076", "rating": null, "reviewCount": null, "detailStatus": "not_requested", "missingFields": ["address", "rating", "reviewCount", "websiteUrl"], "warnings": [], "scrapedAt": "2026-07-20T08:16:31.209Z" } ``` ### Pricing | Event | Price | Charged when | | --- | --- | --- | | Run start | `$0.005` per run | Once when the Actor starts. | | Item extracted | Tiered from `$0.00007488` per saved row on BRONZE | Each business row saved to the dataset. | Per-row tier prices: FREE `$0.000086112`, BRONZE `$0.00007488`, SILVER `$0.000058406`, GOLD `$0.000044928`, PLATINUM `$0.000029952`, DIAMOND `$0.000020966`. ### 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. ### API usage #### Node.js ```js import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client"; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }); const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/justdial-business-leads-scraper").call({ categories: ["restaurants"], cities: ["Delhi"], maxItems: 25, }); console.log(run.defaultDatasetId); ``` #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("fetch_cat/justdial-business-leads-scraper").call(run_input={ "categories": ["restaurants"], "cities": ["Delhi"], "maxItems": 25, }) print(run["defaultDatasetId"]) ``` #### cURL ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~justdial-business-leads-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"categories":["restaurants"],"cities":["Delhi"],"maxItems":25}' ``` ### MCP and AI agents Use the official Apify MCP Server: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/justdial-business-leads-scraper" ``` JSON configuration example: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/justdial-business-leads-scraper" } } } ``` Example prompts: - "Run the JustDial scraper for restaurants in Delhi and summarize businesses with visible phone numbers." - "Find digital marketing agencies in Mumbai from JustDial and export the dataset as CSV." ### Related Actors - [Google Maps Places Scraper](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/google-maps-places-scraper) for broader local place discovery. - [Google Maps Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/google-maps-reviews-scraper) for review text from Google Maps. - [Website Contact Finder](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/website-contact-finder) for enriching discovered websites with public contact pages. ### 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. ### Support If a valid public JustDial URL or city/category returns no rows, open an issue with: - Run ID - Input JSON - Expected output - Actual output - Reproducible public URL, for example `https://www.justdial.com/Delhi/Restaurants/nct-10408936`, or category/city - Proxy settings used, including country and proxy group # Actor input Schema ## `categories` (type: `array`): JustDial categories/searches, such as restaurants or digital marketing agencies. ## `cities` (type: `array`): Indian cities to combine with each category/query. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Public JustDial category/search/listing URLs to process. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of business rows to save. ## `maxPagesPerSource` (type: `integer`): Bound pagination per category/city or start URL. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit public listing detail pages for additional visible fields when available. ## `failOnNoResults` (type: `boolean`): Throw an error when valid inputs produce zero business rows. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy settings.
