Yelp Business Data Scraper — Phone, Address, Hours & Leads

Yelp Business Data Scraper extracts the complete Yelp business record — not just a link. Search Yelp by term + location, or pass direct business URLs, and get clean structured Yelp business data for every result: 20+ fields including name, phone, full address, hours, price, rating, review count, categories, coordinates, claimed status, menu link, and website.

Most Yelp scrapers return only a URL and a name. This one returns the data you actually need — phone numbers, addresses, hours, and ratings — ready for lead generation, market research, and CRM import.

No login, no proxy setup on your end. Pay per business — $0 on empty. No Actor Start fee, no minimum run charge — you're never billed for businesses we don't deliver.

What if a search returns nothing? You pay $0 — billing is per delivered business only, no Actor Start fee.

Can I scrape specific businesses? Yes — pass their Yelp URLs in directUrls for guaranteed, exact results instead of search discovery.

What happens if a business page fails to load? It's skipped, not billed, and the run continues — check the run log for which URLs were skipped and why.

Can I filter by price tier? Yes — use the price input to only return $, $$, $$$, or $$$$ businesses.

How many businesses can I scrape in one run? As many as maxResults allows; use concurrency to control run speed and maxCostUsd to hard-cap spend.
