FAQ

How many businesses can I scrape? As many as the search returns — set maxItems to cap the run, or run multiple searches to cover more categories and cities.

Do I need any setup or a login? No setup and no login. Just add the actor, enter a keyword and city (or a search URL), and run.

Can I scrape a specific city or category? Yes — set what (Branche) and where (city), or paste a Gelbeseiten search URL into startUrls for exact targeting.

How fresh is the data? Each run fetches live listings, so results reflect Gelbeseiten at the moment you run the actor. The collectedAt field timestamps every record.

Is it legal? The actor returns only publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with Gelbeseiten's terms and applicable data and marketing laws, including GDPR.

Can I connect it to my other tools? The Gelbeseiten Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform.
