How the Canada411 Scraper Works

1. Choose a search mode — name search or reverse phone lookup.
2. For a name search, give it a name and (optionally) a city and province. For a phone lookup, give it a 10-digit number.
3. The actor returns every matched listing with contact details, address, and geolocation, paginating automatically up to your maxItems limit.
4. A name search with no city/province returns matches from anywhere in Canada — narrow it if you're only after one region.

Input

{
  "searchMode": "name",
  "name": "Smith",
  "location": "Toronto ON",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchMode	String	name	name (search by name, optionally narrowed by city/province) or phone (reverse phone lookup).
name	String	—	Name to search for — a surname or full name. Required for name mode.
location	String	—	City and province to narrow a name search, e.g. "Toronto ON". Optional — omit for all of Canada.
phone	String	—	10-digit Canadian phone number for a reverse lookup, e.g. "4162430072". Required for phone mode.
maxItems	Integer	20	Maximum number of records to return for a name search.

Reverse phone lookup example:

{
  "searchMode": "phone",
  "phone": "4162430072",
  "maxItems": 5
}

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

Data quality note: Canada411 doesn't expose a machine-readable residential/business flag anywhere on the page, so listing_type and business_name are inferred from the listing name against a set of common business keywords. Treat them as a best-effort classification rather than a source-verified field — everything else on the record comes directly from the listing.

FAQ

How do I scrape Canada411?

Give the Canada411 scraper a name (and optionally a city/province), or a 10-digit phone number for a reverse lookup. It returns every matched listing with contact details, address, and geolocation — no account or API key needed.

How much does this actor cost to run?

Pricing follows Apify's pay-per-event model — see the Pricing tab on the actor page for the current rate per record. Results are paginated, so a broad name search across all of Canada costs more than a narrow one scoped to a city.

Can I search for a name across the whole country?

Yes — omit location and a name search returns matches from anywhere in Canada. Add a city and province (e.g. "Toronto ON") to narrow it.

Does this actor cover business listings, or just residential?

Both. A single name search returns residential and business entries together; listing_type on each record tells you which is which.

What happens if a reverse phone lookup finds no match?

The run finishes with zero records for that query — Canada411 has no listing for the number you searched.
