Golden Pages Ireland Scraper

Scrape goldenpages.ie into one row per business: name, phone, email when listed, website, address, hours, coordinates.

Works from a keyword plus optional city, a nationwide term, or a pasted /q/business/advanced/ or company-slug URL. Direct fetches often return an empty 202; the actor defaults to Irish residential proxy.

Pricing: $0.005 per listing (pushData). Extra contact-phone $0.002 and contact-email $0.05 when those fields are present.

Why use this scraper?

• Search JSON-LD already has phone, website, address, weekday hours, and coordinates.
• Profile pages add the inbox (mailto: / Open Graph email).
• City is /where/{city}/what/{term}. Page N is a trailing /{N} (20 cards).
• Optional harvest of the business site when the directory has no inbox.

Overview

Built for lead lists and local research on Irish companies. Each dataset item is one listing from goldenpages.ie (FCR Media).

Supported inputs

Input	What it does
startUrls	https://www.goldenpages.ie/q/business/advanced/what/restaurant or a profile slug
searchTerms	What you type in Golden Pages, e.g. restaurant, plumber
locations	City in /where/{city}/. Empty = nationwide
maxItems	Stop after N unique listings (free plan cap 50)

Use cases

Sales / agencies	Irish phones and emails from a category

How it works

1. Build https://www.goldenpages.ie/q/business/advanced/what/{term} or /where/{city}/what/{term}.
2. Parse .listing_container cards and the ItemList JSON-LD block.
3. Open /{company-slug}/ for email.
4. Charge contact-phone / contact-email after pushData.
5. If still no email and harvest is on, fetch the business homepage/contact page.

FAQ

Does a city filter work? Yes, as /where/{city}/what/{term}. Dublin search IDs only partly overlap the nationwide first page.

Do I need a proxy? Yes. Leave the default IE residential group on. A request from outside Ireland often comes back as HTTP 202 with an empty body.

Same as Belgium Golden Pages? No. .be is Pages d'Or / Gouden Gids.
