## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## YellowPages Thai Business Leads Scraper

Scrape public Thai business leads from YellowPages Thailand.

The Actor collects business results from YellowPages category, heading, search, and profile pages. It can enrich listings with YellowPages profile URLs, phone numbers, working time, websites, and map links when available.

You can start from a high-level YellowPages category or provide exact YellowPages URLs for a specific search, heading, category, or business profile.

Free preview runs are capped at 50 results. Paid runs can collect the full amount requested in `maxItems`.

### Good for

- Thailand business lead generation
- Local company directory building
- Market research by category
- Collecting business contact information
- Exporting YellowPages listings to JSON, CSV, Excel, or BI tools

### What it extracts

Each result can include:

- Business name
- Business category
- Address
- Phone numbers
- Working time
- Website URL
- YellowPages profile URL
- Google Maps URL when available
- Source and country

### Input example

```json
{
  "category": "health-and-beauty",
  "maxPages": 8,
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
````

You can also start from specific URLs:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.yellowpages.co.th/en/heading/Dentists?DEFAULT=Bangkok&page=1"
    }
  ],
  "maxPages": 3,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

| `category` | YellowPages top-level category to scrape, such as `health-and-beauty`, `automotive`, `education`, or `travel`. | Empty |
| `startUrls` | Optional YellowPages search, heading, category, or business profile URLs. If set, these URLs are used as the starting point. | Empty |
| `maxItems` | Maximum number of business leads to save. Free preview runs are capped at 50 automatically. Paid runs can collect the full requested amount. | `100` |

### Output example

```json
{
  "source": "yellowpages_th",
  "country": "TH",
  "businessName": "Charoennakorn Dentists Clinics",
  "category": "Dentists",
  "address": "Khwang Bang Lamphu Lang, Khet Khlong San, Bangkok 10600",
  "yellowpagesUrl": "https://www.yellowpages.co.th/en/profile/Charoennakorn-Dentists-Clinics-914GCqnmx",
  "phones": ["024389139"],
  "workingTime": "Open Daily time 09:00-21:00"
}
```

Another result may include a business website:

```json
{
  "source": "yellowpages_th",
  "country": "TH",
  "businessName": "Au Tru Smile Co., Ltd.",
  "category": "Dentists",
  "address": "Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600",
  "websiteUrl": "https://www.autrusmile.com/"
}
```

### Notes

- No login is required.
- The Actor only targets public YellowPages Thailand pages.
- Free preview runs are capped at 50 results.
- Paid runs are not capped by the preview limit and use the requested `maxItems`.
- Phone numbers and working time are returned when they are available on the business profile.
- Some listings only provide a website or basic directory information and may not have a YellowPages profile page.
- For larger runs, keep proxy enabled and avoid very aggressive settings.

### Local run

```bash
npm install
APIFY_INPUT='{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://www.yellowpages.co.th/en/heading/Dentists?DEFAULT=Bangkok&page=1"}],"maxPages":1,"maxItems":5,"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":false}}' npm start
```

### Current limitations

- Contact fields depend on what YellowPages Thailand publicly displays for each business.
- Some categories include sparse listings with website-only results.
- Working time is not available for every business profile.
- YellowPages may occasionally return temporary errors; retrying the run usually resolves this.
