Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

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. ### Input Examples **1) Search URL** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.superpages.com/anchorage-ak/dentists" } ], "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` **2) Detail URL** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.superpages.com/anchorage-ak/bpp/turnagain-dental-8741024" } ], "maxItems": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` ### Output Each dataset item contains fields like: ```json { "name": "Turnagain Dental", "phone": "907-272-8422", "website": "https://www.turnagaindental.com/", "primaryCategory": "Dentists", "categories": ["Dentists", "Dental Clinics", "Cosmetic Dentistry"], "rating": 4.5, "reviewCount": 12, "description": "Business profile description from Superpages.", "openingHours": ["Mo-Fr 08:00-17:00"], "paymentAccepted": "amex, cash, check, discover, master card, visa", "services": "Dental services listed on the profile", "specialties": "Specialties listed on the profile", "accreditation": "Associations or accreditations", "imageUrls": ["https://i.ypcdn.com/blob/example"], "socialLinks": [], "breadcrumbs": ["Home", "Anchorage, AK", "Dentists", "Turnagain Dental"], "listingId": "8741024", "businessId": "/anchorage-ak/bpp/turnagain-dental-8741024", "canonicalUrl": "https://www.superpages.com/anchorage-ak/bpp/turnagain-dental-8741024", "sourceUrl": "https://www.superpages.com/anchorage-ak/bpp/turnagain-dental-8741024", "url": "https://www.superpages.com/anchorage-ak/bpp/turnagain-dental-8741024", "address": "Example Street, Anchorage, AK 99501, US", "streetAddress": "Example Street", "city": "Anchorage", "state": "AK", "postalCode": "99501", "country": "US" } ``` The scraper paginates through listing results and stops when `maxItems` is reached per start URL or when no more result items are found. ### Why use the Superpages Scraper? - **Focused**: Built specifically for Superpages search and business profile flows. - **Structured output**: Ready-to-use JSON records for automation and analysis. - **Per-URL limits**: `maxItems` is enforced per start URL. - **Flexible input**: Supports both search result URLs and direct business detail URLs. - **Apify-native**: Works with Apify datasets, request queue, and proxy config. ### FAQ - **How many businesses can it extract?**\ Controlled by `maxItems` per source URL. - **Do I need proxies?**\ Proxies are recommended. The default configuration uses Apify Residential proxies in the US. - **Can I start from a business detail URL?**\ Yes. Detail URLs are processed directly and count toward `maxItems`. - **What if Superpages changes their website structure?**\ The actor may require updates to keep extraction stable. ### Need to scrape other business directories?
