Yell.com Scraper: UK Business Search

Yell.com UK Business Scraper: many keywords and UK towns per run, with pay-per-event pricing shown as a receipt

Search Yell.com, the UK business directory, for many keywords and locations in one run. Every business is one item in the dataset: name, phone, website, full address with postcode and coordinates, rating and reviews, opening hours, services, payment methods, prices, social links and photos.

What it does

  • Searches by keywords ("plumbers", "beauty salons") in a location (a town, area or postcode such as Leeds or SW1A 1AA), or across the whole UK when no location is given.
  • Runs many searches at once: a list of searches, or keywords × locations.
  • Returns up to 250 businesses per search (Yell's own limit) and 100,000 per run. For more, split a broad search into smaller locations.
  • Pure HTTP, no browser: fast and light (256 MB).

Input examples

Several searches:

{
"searches": [
{ "keywords": "plumbers", "location": "Manchester" },
{ "keywords": "beauty salons", "location": "London" }
]
}

Many keywords × many locations:

{
"keywords": ["electricians", "plumbers", "roofers"],
"locations": ["Leeds", "Bristol", "Glasgow"]
}

The whole UK:

{
"searches": [{ "keywords": "wedding photographers" }]
}

Output

Pricing

Pay per event: platform usage is included in every price; you never pay Apify compute, proxy or storage on top. A search that returns no businesses is free.

EventPriceWhen charged
Run start$0.005every run
search$0.001each search that delivered at least one business
business$0.80 / 1,000each business pushed to the dataset

Example: 9 searches × 100 businesses = $0.005 + 9 × $0.001 + 900 × $0.0008 = $0.73 for 900 businesses.

Your spending limit (set in the run configuration) is always respected: the actor stops before exceeding it.

Proxy

Residential proxies are recommended (the default: Apify residential, GB): Yell refuses many datacenter IPs.
