🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape the Singapore Law Society directory?

Singapore Law Society Scraper handles it in one API call. Set maxItems to 75 or higher to get the full directory. Default is 10 if you're just testing.

What data can I get from lawsociety.org.sg?

Singapore Law Society Scraper returns 11 fields per listing: firm name, profile URL, practice areas, location zone, languages spoken, office address, phone, email, website, description, and scrape timestamp. These are paid "featured" listings — the directory covers selective premium firms, not the full Singapore Bar roll.

How much does Singapore Law Society Scraper cost to run?

About $0.0015 per record, plus a $0.10 flat start fee. A full directory run of 75 firms costs under $0.25 total — which is considerably less than what those firms charge per billable minute.

Does Singapore Law Society Scraper need proxies?

No. The site runs Cloudflare in passive mode and serves clean responses to direct HTTP requests. No residential proxy needed, no browser, no CAPTCHA solving.

Can I filter by practice area or language?

Not via input parameters — the underlying API doesn't support server-side filtering. Download the full dataset and filter locally, which is straightforward given the structured output format.
