Store Locator Monitor (Apify Actor)
Crawls a chain's Yext Pages store locator and outputs every location as
normalized JSON — then diffs against the previous run and emits
store.opening / store.closing / store.updated events.
What it extracts
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
id | Yext entity id (stable across runs) |
name | Petco |
phone | +15735146404 |
address | line1/line2, city, region, postalCode, country |
latitude, longitude | when the source exposes them |
hours | full open-interval JSON per weekday |
sourceUrl | the locator URL crawled |
Sample input

Use cases
- Commercial real estate: monitor retail footprints — new openings and closures by brand, city, or state.
- Market research: track chain expansion rates over time.
- Competitive intelligence: get an alert the day a competitor opens near your market.
Honest limits (v1)
- Yext Pages locators only in v1 (hundreds of brands: Petco, and most retail/food brands using Yext Listings). The actor auto-detects the pattern; non-Yext locators are skipped with a clear log message.
- Latitude/longitude depend on what the source page exposes; some brands include them only on detail pages.
- Politeness delay defaults to 1s — a full ~10k-location brand takes a few
hours by design. Raise
crawlDelaySecfor polite crawling of small sites.
Development
src/extract.py— pure parsing (offline-testable)main.py— crawl + diff + storage- Test locally:
python3 -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'src'); from extract import extract_directory_children; print(len(extract_directory_children(open('page.html').read())))"
