Guru Phone Number Scraper

Guru Phone Number Scraper

Guru Phone Number Scraper turns a keyword into a contact sheet of phone numbers published on Guru. Give it search terms and it returns the accounts that publish a way to reach them, with the account name, handle and profile URL beside each contact.

It reads only what Guru and Google already show a signed-out visitor. No login, no cookies, no private or partner API, no browser and no JavaScript rendering.

What the Guru Phone Number Scraper does

The Guru Phone Number Scraper searches Google with a contact dork rather than a plain keyword: site:guru.com freelancer whatsapp "+44". That asks for the pages which already publish a phone number, instead of every page matching a word.

Each result block yields the account and the phone number together, in one request. Google no longer prints the target URL on most layouts, so the handle comes from what it does print: the "Guru - handle" site label, the breadcrumb, or a Name (@handle) title.

Every row is written to the dataset the moment it is found and logged as it is written, so a run is readable while it is still going.

Phone numbers are validated by libphonenumber against the real numbering plan of the country you searched, so order numbers, dates and follower counts cannot reach the dataset. Each number is returned in E.164 form and in the national format its country uses.

How to use the Guru Phone Number Scraper

1. Put your search terms in Keywords - the niche, job title or industry you sell to.
2. Add a Location if the list should be local.
3. Pick the Countries whose numbers you want. Every number is validated against that country's numbering plan.
4. Set Max results to cap the run, then start it.
5. Export the dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

Use cases

Lead generation. Build a list of Guru accounts in one niche that publish a phone number, with the handle and profile URL for context before you write.

Recruiting. Find people describing themselves with a role keyword and reach them on the contact they chose to publish.

Agency prospecting. Search a niche and a city, and get a prospect sheet with the account and the contact side by side.

CRM enrichment. Feed profileUrl and phone straight into your CRM; the keyword and query columns record where each row came from.

Limitations, stated plainly

• Only contacts already published in public Guru pages indexed by Google. Nothing hidden from a signed-out visitor is reachable, and none is guessed from a name.
• Coverage depends on what Google has indexed, so a narrow niche returns fewer rows than a broad one. Raising Max pages per query and adding keywords helps.
• The free Apify plan caps a run at 20 results.
• A number written without its country code can only be validated against the country you searched, so search the countries you actually sell to.

Pricing

Pay per result: you are charged for each row written to the dataset, and nothing for a run that finds nothing. Platform and proxy costs are included in that price.

Guru Phone Number Scraper vs manual research

Done by hand, one qualified contact takes two to four minutes: find the account, open it, read the page, copy the phone number, paste it into a sheet.

The Guru Phone Number Scraper does the same work continuously, with no tab switching and no transcription errors. A hundred records is minutes rather than an afternoon.

It also captures what manual research usually skips. The account name, the profile URL and the exact keyword that surfaced the row all land in the same record.

That context turns a raw list into a prioritised one. The Guru Phone Number Scraper lets you sort and filter before a single message is written.

Using the Guru Phone Number Scraper in a workflow

Most teams run the Guru Phone Number Scraper on a schedule and treat the dataset as a feed rather than a one-off export.

Point a webhook at your own endpoint and each finished run pushes its rows straight into your CRM, with no manual download step.

The stable output schema matters here. Because every row from the Guru Phone Number Scraper has identical keys, your integration never needs to handle a missing field.

A common pattern is a nightly keyword run feeding a dedupe step. Another is enrichment: widen the keyword list and let the Guru Phone Number Scraper fill the gaps in an existing sheet.

Troubleshooting the Guru Phone Number Scraper

Few or no rows. The keyword is probably too broad or too narrow. Ten specific keywords beat one generic one, and adding a location raises the hit rate.

Rows without contacts. That is normal - most accounts publish none. The Guru Phone Number Scraper reports only what is genuinely on the page.

The run is slow to start. Lower the concurrency. The Guru Phone Number Scraper is querying faster than the proxy pool is comfortable with.

Fewer results than requested. Google caps one query at roughly 300 results. Query expansion is what reaches past that ceiling, so leave it on.

How the Guru Phone Number Scraper handles export and integration

Export the Guru Phone Number Scraper dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML from the Apify console, or pull it through the API.

Every field is flat - no nested objects - so the CSV opens cleanly in Excel or Google Sheets without a parsing step.
