Superpages Scraper

Superpages (superpages.com) is a US business directory for local companies, services, phone numbers, categories, ratings, and business profiles. This actor collects structured business listing data from Superpages search result and detail pages.

Introduction

The Superpages scraper starts from search result URLs or business detail URLs, paginates through listing pages, and extracts structured business data such as name, phone, website, categories, rating, review count, description, opening hours, payment methods, photos, and source URLs.

Use Cases

• Lead generation: Build targeted business lists by category and location.
• Local market research: Analyze companies, service categories, and ratings in specific cities.
• Directory monitoring: Track business profile metadata and website links over time.
• Data enrichment: Enrich CRM records with phone numbers, websites, categories, and directory profile URLs.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal databases with structured local business data.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): Superpages search result or business detail URLs.
• maxItems (integer, required): Maximum number of business listings to extract per start URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.
• US residential proxies are recommended for Superpages runs.
• Some pages may temporarily require access recovery; the actor retries and refreshes the page session when needed.
