Herold.at Scraper

Turn a Herold Gelbe Seiten search into structured Austrian business rows: name, phone, email when listed, website, address, hours, rating, Firmenbuch, and profile link.

Keyword + city, nationwide category, or a herold.at URL. JSON or CSV out.

This is herold.at (Herold Business Data). It is not Gelbe Seiten DE, local.ch, or PagineGialle.

Why Use This Scraper?

• Phone, email, and website on many search cards
• Profile pass for weekday hours, coordinates, reviews, and Firmenbuch
• Pagination via /seite/2/, /seite/3/, …
• HTTP only. No browser

Overview

Built for sales teams, agencies, and researchers who need Austrian business leads from Herold.

Every start type becomes one dataset row per listing. A keyword search and a profile URL emit the same flat shape. Rows are de-duplicated by Herold listing id.

Supported Inputs

Search terms and locations

Field	Example
searchTerms	["elektriker"], ["restaurant", "steuerberater"]
locations	["Wien"], ["Graz"], ["wien--2-leopoldstadt"]

Every term is searched in every location. Leave locations empty for a nationwide category search.

URL types

URL type	Pattern	Example
Search	/gelbe-seiten/{city}/{category}/	https://www.herold.at/gelbe-seiten/wien/elektriker/
Nationwide	/gelbe-seiten/{category}/	https://www.herold.at/gelbe-seiten/elektriker/
Search page	/gelbe-seiten/{city}/{category}/seite/N/	https://www.herold.at/gelbe-seiten/wien/elektriker/seite/2/
Profile	/gelbe-seiten/{city}/{id}/{slug}/	https://www.herold.at/gelbe-seiten/wien/p2zCQ/ing-rudolf-mayer-elektrotechnik-gmbh/

Search URLs paginate automatically. Use /seite/N/.

Unsupported: herold.at Telefonbuch people lookup, Herold marketing pages, firmeneintrag forms.

Use Cases

Audience	What they take from a run
Sales and outreach	Phone + website + email (when listed) by trade and city
Agencies	Cross-joined term × city lists in one dataset
Local SEO	Category, rating, and the Herold profile URL
Researchers	Firmenbuch, hours, and coordinates for a trade in a city

How It Works

1. Cross-join searchTerms × locations (or nationwide if no city), plus any herold.at Gelbe Seiten URLs.
2. Fetch the search page.
3. Page with /seite/N in parallel, stopping at maxItems or maxPages.
4. Read name, phone, email, website, and address from the search card.
5. Optionally open the profile for hours, reviews, coordinates, and Firmenbuch.
6. De-duplicate by listing id and push one row per business.

Pricing

Event	When	Rate
Actor start	Once per run, per GB of memory	$0.005
Listing	Each unique business in the dataset	$0.005 ($5 / 1k)
Contact phone	Row has a phone	$0.002
Contact email	Row has an email	$0.05

Phone and email are billed only when Herold publishes that field. A miss is free. Many cards already include both, so scrapeDetails is for hours, geo, and Firmenbuch.

FAQ

Will every row have an email? No. Phone is common. Inbox is only on some listings. Phone and email are billed as extra events only when the field is present.

What does scrapeDetails add? Weekday hours, coordinates, reviews, and Firmenbuch. Phone, email, and website are already on many search cards.

Do I need a proxy? On Apify, keep the residential proxy on. Local runs from a home IP can turn it off.

Does it scrape the Herold Telefonbuch? No. Business listings on Gelbe Seiten only.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/herold-at-scraper).

Purpose: Extract Herold.at business listings (name, phone, email when listed, website, Firmenbuch, split address, hours) by keyword + city or URL.

Minimal input:

{
  "searchTerms": ["elektriker"],
  "locations": ["Wien"],
  "maxItems": 10
}

Output: one dataset row per business — listingId, slug, name, phone, phones, fax, email, website, vatId, taxId, companyRegister, social, address, street, postalCode, city, region, country, latitude, longitude, category, categories, rating, reviewCount, hours, description, images, logo, reviews, paymentMethods, isPremium, heroldUrl, searchTerm, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Always set maxItems. Free users are capped at 50.
• searchTerms without locations runs a nationwide category search.
• startUrls work on their own (herold.at Gelbe Seiten only).
• Email is often already on the search card. Keep scrapeDetails true for hours and Firmenbuch.
• Each listing is $0.005. A phone on the row is $0.002. An email is $0.05. Start is $0.005 per GB.
• Austria business directory only. Not the Herold people Telefonbuch.
• Cloud runs need the default residential proxy.
