Yell.com Scraper: UK Business Search

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
LeedsorSW1A 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" }]}

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.
| Event | Price | When charged |
|---|---|---|
| Run start | $0.005 | every run |
search | $0.001 | each search that delivered at least one business |
business | $0.80 / 1,000 | each 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.
