OpenStreetMap Local Business Email Leads — No Google Maps API · ~$1.50/1k

Apify Store: https://apify.com/keiwy/local-biz-leads-email

Turn a keyword + city into local business leads from OpenStreetMap — name, website, phone, address, and email when publicly listed (OSM tags or a light crawl of the business site / contact page).

Blue-ocean pins
Source	OpenStreetMap (Nominatim + Overpass)
API key	No Google Maps API key required
Price	Pay-per-event ~$1.50 per 1,000 leads with email (lead-with-email $0.0015); basic leads without email ~$0.50/1k

This is not another Google Maps email scraper. If you need Maps ratings / reviews / place IDs, use a Maps actor. If you want keyless, cheaper OSM local email leads, this Actor is built for that intent.

Honest comparison (API key · source · price)

	This Actor (keiwy/local-biz-leads-email)	Typical Maps + email scrapers	OSM peer (e.g. flash_scraper class, Store list price)
Google Maps API key	Not needed	Often required or Maps-sourced	Not needed
Data source	OpenStreetMap	Google Maps / Places	OpenStreetMap
Email leads price	~$1.50 / 1k with email	Often ~$1.50–$1.80 / 1k saved email (Maps path)	Often from ~$3.50 / 1k (peer Store list)
Maps ratings / reviews	No (OSM does not have them)	Yes	Varies

Prices above are public Store list prices / PPE event rates as of 2026-10 — they change; always check the Store page. We do not claim to beat Maps coverage; we claim no Maps key + OSM + lower OSM-peer price.

Measured demo (real platform run)

Field	Value
Run id	OYFwhkqmbossJAq25 (SUCCEEDED)
Input	query=dentist, location=Austin, TX, maxItems=10, enrichEmail=true
Leads returned	10
With email	4 / 10 (40%)
With phone	5 / 10 (50%)
With website	6 / 10 (60%)
Email sources	osm_tag ×3, mailto ×1
Duration	~7 s
PPE charged (self-test)	4× lead-with-email + 6× lead-basic

Earlier smoke without website enrichment (PiQQcfDTVtYENJPxn, same city/niche, enrichEmail=false, maxItems=5): 1 / 5 emails (20%), all from osm_tag. Enrichment usually raises fill-rate when businesses publish a public site email.

Coverage varies by city and OSM tagging. Dense, well-tagged cities work better. Empty or low fill-rate on a niche/city is possible — try a broader query or another city.

Who it’s for

• Agencies / freelancers building local outreach lists without a Maps API bill
• Founders validating a city niche (dentists, plumbers, cafes, gyms…)
• Buyers searching for OpenStreetMap / no Google Maps API / cheap local business email leads

Quick start (Apify Console)

1. Open keiwy/local-biz-leads-email
2. Paste input like:

{
  "query": "plumber",
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "enrichEmail": true,
  "onlyWithEmail": false
}

3. Run → download dataset (CSV/JSON)

Want only rows with email? Set "onlyWithEmail": true. The Actor drops empty-email rows before output and does not charge lead-basic for them — you only pay lead-with-email for returned rows. Pair with enrichEmail=true for higher fill-rate. maxItems then means up to that many email leads (extra candidates are fetched under the hood).

Input

Field	Required	Default	Notes
query	yes	—	e.g. plumber, dentist, cafe
location	yes	—	e.g. Austin, TX / Berlin, Germany
maxItems	no	50	1–500 (with onlyWithEmail, up to N email leads)
enrichEmail	no	true	Visit site for mailto: / obvious emails
onlyWithEmail	no	false	If true, only output non-empty email rows; no lead-basic charge for dropped rows

Output fields

businessName, website, email, phone, address, sourceUrl, emailSource

• email may be "" if none found — still a valid basic lead (unless onlyWithEmail=true, in which case empty-email rows are omitted)
• emailSource: osm_tag | mailto | page_heuristic | empty

Pricing (PPE on Store)

Event	When	Price
lead-with-email	row has email	$0.0015 (~$1.50/1k)
lead-basic	no email	$0.0005 (~$0.50/1k)

Failed / empty runs should not charge for leads. Self-tests on your own account still consume platform compute usage.

How it works (honest)

1. Geocode location via Nominatim
2. Query Overpass for matching OSM POIs (public Overpass mirrors; occasional timeouts possible)
3. Optional: fetch website / contact pages for public emails

No LinkedIn, no paid enrichment APIs, no purchased proxies in this Actor. No MX “verified inbox” claim — emails are publicly listed strings only.

Limitations

• OSM coverage ≠ Google Maps coverage
• Overpass public endpoints can time out; retry or lower maxItems
• Email fill-rate depends on public tags + site crawl; not guaranteed
• Not a replacement for Maps scrapers when you need ratings, hours from Maps, or place IDs
