Yelp Scraper | Business Phones & Address

Yelp Scraper

Scrape Yelp business listings without the official Yelp API. Search by keyword, category (cflt), or a live /search / /biz URL. Export names, ratings, phone numbers, street addresses, websites, hours, and guest review snippets from live /biz/{slug} pages. Search cards do not include contact — this Actor follows the business detail page so you get usable local-business leads.

Use it as a practical Yelp scraper / Yelp data extractor / Yelp API alternative for restaurants, dentists, hotels, plumbers, auto shops, and other local categories. Keep enrichDetails on, then download CSV / Excel / JSON — or call the Actor from Make, n8n, Zapier, Python, or the Apify API.

  • Search on Yelp (find_desc + find_loc; pagination start steps by 10)
  • Category via cflt= (restaurants, dentists, homeservices, auto, beautysvc, hotels, and more)
  • Business LDP /biz/{slug} — plaintext sidebar phone + street (no “Show phone” click); hours and geo when JSON-LD has them
  • Opened TLD markets for search + LDP leads: US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain
  • Guest pages only — merchant email is usually absent (leadAbsences records that honestly)
  • Residential egress lives on the scrape worker — you do not send cookies or proxyUrl

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with Yelp Inc. Collects guest / public pages a logged-out visitor can already see. It does not log in, send messages, place orders, or submit support tickets.

Empty {} searches ramen in Chicago, IL. That is the Actor default so a blank run can SUCCEEDED.

Free Apify-plan users (developer policy): 10 runs / 200 results per run.


What can this Yelp scraper do?

Yelp Scraper extracts structured Yelp business data without you running a residential proxy or anti-bot stack. Give it a search term and a city (or a category + location), start the run, and get a spreadsheet of leads.

On the Apify platform you also get scheduling, monitoring, Dataset exports, webhooks, and API / integration access (Make, n8n, Zapier, LangChain).

Under the hood the Actor:

  1. Validates input and enforces free-tier caps on free Apify plans
  2. Calls a managed Cloud Run worker (WORKER_BASE_URL + WORKER_AUTH)
  3. The worker loads guest Yelp HTML and parses /biz leads
  4. Pushes Dataset rows plus INPUT_ECHO / RUN_SUMMARY

Default memory is 1024 MB. WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1 — do not pass proxyUrl.


What Yelp data can I extract?

DataSearch SERP/biz LDP
Name / slug / URL
Rating / review count
Review body (guest snippet)✅ up to 5, 500 chars
Phone❌ (cards have none)tel: / JSON-LD
Email❌ usually none on the page
Street / address
Website✅ (may wrap biz_redir)
Hours / geo✅ when JSON-LD present
Categories

Identity key: /biz/{slug}. An opaque encid URL resolves to the slug. Do not invent business ids. Do not treat /map/{slug} as a list. Do not use city short paths (/sf) as a pager.

Yelp does not put phone or street on search cards. Keep enrichDetails=true (the default) or you will get names without contact.

This Actor does not scrape menus, photo galleries, events, collections, or the full paginated review feed. It is built for contactable local leads, not a complete Yelp clone.


Why scrape Yelp?

Yelp is still one of the densest public directories of local businesses: restaurants, medical, home services, auto, hotels, and shops, with ratings that people actually read. Typical uses:

  • Build an outreach / CRM list (name + phone + street) for a city and trade
  • Compare competitor ratings and hours in one neighborhood
  • Feed Make / n8n / Zapier / LangChain with structured Yelp rows instead of raw HTML
  • Combine with Google Maps Scraper when you need a second local source

1. Local lead lists (restaurants, dentists, plumbers)

In plain English: search a trade + city → get a table of names, phones, and street addresses for outreach or CRM import.

You give: findDesc=dentist, findLoc=Denver, CO, maxResults=20, enrichDetails=true.

You get back:

NamePhoneStreet
Example Dental+1…1200 Example Ave

2. Category coverage (cflt)

In plain English: scrape a Yelp vertical (hotels, auto, beautysvc, homeservices, eventservices) in one city without inventing keywords.

You give: searchType=category, cflt=hotels, findLoc=Portland, OR.

3. Multi-market Yelp data

In plain English: pin market to ca, au, de, fr, ie, it, or es to hit that TLD with a matching residential country. UK (yelp.co.uk) is routed but not smoke-opened — do not expect UK phones from the worker yet.

4. Feed automations and AI agents

In plain English: schedule the Actor or call it from Make / n8n / Zapier / LangChain → Dataset JSON (name, url, phones, address, hours, reviews, leadAbsences).

How to scrape Yelp (no code required)

  1. Click Try for free at the top of this page
  2. Enter a search term (findDesc) and a city (findLoc), or switch searchType to category and set cflt
  3. Leave enrichDetails on so each row follows /biz for phone and street
  4. Set maxResults (start small — 3 to 10 is enough to test)
  5. Click Start — rows appear in the Dataset tab
  6. Download CSV, Excel, or JSON

That's it. You can also schedule the run or call it from the API.

How much does it cost to scrape Yelp?

Actor Start (apify-actor-start)$0.005 per start
Result (apify-default-dataset-item)$3.00 / 1,000 results ($0.003 each on FREE/BRONZE)

Platform usage costs are included — you do not pay separate Apify compute for this Actor on top of the event prices above (User pays platform usage costs = No).

*Assumes one Actor start at default memory (1024 MB = one start event) plus $0.003 per Dataset item. Start billing can scale with allocated memory (one start event per GB, minimum one).

Empty / failed runs that write zero default-dataset rows are not billed as results (you still pay Actor Start).

Free plan limits

On a free Apify plan, this Actor enforces developer limits of 10 runs and 200 results per run. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs (event prices still apply).

Is scraping Yelp free?

You can try the Actor on Apify's free plan subject to the run/result caps above. After that you pay per start and per Dataset row — not per compute unit.


What you get back

Each Dataset row is one Yelp business (after /biz enrich when enabled):

  • Name, slug, listing URL, rating, review count, categories
  • Phones (value + e164 when parseable)
  • Street / locality / region / postal / country
  • Website, hours, optional guest review snippets (cap 5)
  • leadAbsences when a field is honestly missing (for example merchant email)

Download from the Dataset tab as CSV, Excel, or JSON.

Example row (fields shortened):

{
"name": "Example Locksmith",
"url": "https://www.yelp.com/biz/example-locksmith-houston",
"rating": 4.6,
"reviewCount": 42,
"phones": [{ "value": "+17135550100", "e164": "+17135550100" }],
"address": {
"street": "100 Example St",
"locality": "Houston",
"region": "TX",
"postalCode": "77002",
"country": "US"
},
"web": { "website": "https://example.com" },
"leadAbsences": { "emails": "商家邮箱本站无" }

FAQ

Does this replace the official Yelp API?

It is an unofficial Yelp data extractor for guest pages. It is not the Fusion API, not Fusion keys, and not a Yelp partner product.

Why are phones empty on some rows?

Search cards have no phone. If enrichDetails is off, you only get SERP fields. Some listings (especially service-area businesses in Canada) have a phone but no street. leadAbsences explains the gap.

Can I scrape Yelp reviews?

Guest-visible review snippets on the LDP (JSON-LD + comment nodes), capped at 5 × 500 characters. The Actor does not click Write a review or paginate the full review feed.

Can I scrape Yelp messages or support tickets?

No. It does not click Message, Call, Claim, or Order, and it does not submit /contact hCaptcha tickets.

Do I need my own proxies?

No for normal runs. Residential egress is on the worker.

How is this different from a generic web scraper?

A generic scraper returns HTML. This Actor returns Yelp business rows with phones and addresses parsed from /biz. For Cloudflare-protected pages that are not Yelp, use Stealth Web Scraper.

When should I use Google Maps or Angi instead?

Use Google Maps Scraper for Maps places. Use Angi Scraper for Angi.com / Angie's List contractors. Use this Actor when the source of truth is Yelp search / category / /biz.

You are responsible for how you use the data. This Actor only collects guest-visible fields. Personal data can be regulated (GDPR and similar). Do not scrape if you lack a legitimate purpose. If unsure, ask a lawyer. See also Apify's note on is web scraping legal.
