🔍 What does this actor do?

Snupit is a South African marketplace for local services. This Actor turns its public provider pages into structured business-directory data for sales research, local SEO, market mapping, and CRM enrichment.

Start from public Snupit profile URLs, service pages, location pages, or public sitemap files. The output keeps each record tied to its Snupit source page.

The Actor reads public fields only. It does not access accounts, quote forms, hidden contact details, reviewer phone fragments, or linked provider websites.

💡 Who is this for?

• I run a B2B lead agency serving South African SMEs. I need a verified list of local service providers by city and category so I can pre-qualify cold outreach targets before the first call.
• I manage the CRM for a local marketing agency. I need to enrich our prospect database with Snupit's public ratings, badge status, and contact fields so our sales team calls warm leads.
• I am an independent SEO consultant in Johannesburg. I need to identify high-rating service providers without a website so I can pitch my services before a competitor does.
• I map the home-services landscape in South Africa. I need structured provider data by category and province to understand market density and service coverage across the country.

🚀 How to use it

STEP 1 Choose your sources Keep the prefilled profile for a quick test, or add public Snupit URLs for your target city and service.

STEP 2 Set depth and filters Enable profile following, reviews, photos, or verified-only filtering to shape your export.

STEP 3 Export your dataset Use the Providers, Contacts, or Changes view in your next workflow or CRM import.

Quick start

The default input includes one public profile so a new run confirms the output immediately. To use generated service and location targets, remove the prefilled URL from startUrls and keep searchTerms and locations filled in.

{
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.snupit.co.za/johannesburg/bramley/vsc-construction-and-projects/425180"
        }
    ],
    "scrapeDetails": false,
    "maxItems": 10,
    "requestDelayMs": 1000
}

For a direct profile export, add one or more public profile URLs and set scrapeDetails to false or true. Direct profile URLs are always opened.

For a broader discovery test, use an empty startUrls list:

{
    "startUrls": [],
    "searchTerms": ["builders", "plumbers"],
    "locations": ["Johannesburg", "Cape Town"],
    "scrapeDetails": true,
    "maxItems": 50,
    "maxSearches": 4
}

Snupit service and location pages may contain descriptions and review counts without provider profile links. When a source page publishes no provider links, that target produces zero provider records. Use direct profile URLs for dependable records, and treat service-page discovery as source-dependent.

🗂️ Dataset views

Every run uses exactly three dataset views:

• 🔍 Providers: Names, services, location, quality signals, and source links.
• 📞 Contacts: Public phone, email, website, address, and profile links.
• 🔄 Changes: New and updated records from monitoring runs.

The Actor also stores a small run summary and, in changes mode, source-backed comparison state. It never stores cookies, challenge pages, or private data.

📡 Change monitoring

Set runMode to changes and reuse the same monitorScope across scheduled runs. The Actor compares public source fields by provider ID or canonical profile URL.

• The first observation is marked new.
• A source-backed field change is marked updated.
• An unchanged provider is not published again.
• Snapshot mode always publishes every unique matching provider.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Empty runs cost nothing, and there is no subscription. Current event pricing is shown on the Apify Store page.

🌟 Tips

• Use direct profile URLs for reliable results. Service and location discovery pages sometimes publish no profile links. A direct profile URL always returns one record.
• Filter by verified status first. Set verifiedOnly to keep Pro Verified providers. These profiles tend to be more complete and more responsive.
• Layer minRating with verifiedOnly. A rating of 4 or 5 combined with verified status surfaces the highest-quality leads in a category.
• Schedule in changes mode for ongoing lead flow. Set runMode to changes, fix a monitorScope, and schedule weekly runs. The Changes view shows only new or updated providers.

❓ FAQ

Does this Actor need a Snupit account?

No. It reads public Snupit pages. Account-only fields and quote workflows are outside the scope.

Why did a service search return no providers?

Snupit may publish a service page with descriptions, counts, and reviews but no provider profile links. Add public profile URLs to startUrls, or enable scrapeDetails when your chosen source publishes profile links.

Can it find private phone numbers or hidden emails?

No. The output includes only contact values explicitly visible on the public profile page. Masked reviewer contact fragments are excluded.

How do I run a recurring lead monitor?

Use runMode: "changes" and keep the same monitorScope. Schedule the Actor in Apify, then read the Changes view for new and updated public profiles.
