Egypt Business Directory Scraper

Scrape EgyptYello (egyptyello.com) listings

Pull public company profiles from EgyptYello. The Actor is built for non-coders and automation users who need reliable Egyptian directory extracts on the Apify platform (schedules, API access, integrations, proxies).

EgyptYello spans Nile Delta metros and tourist hubs. Use Cairo for volume, Alexandria for coastal trade, or Red Sea cities when tourism categories matter.

Because it runs on Apify, you can schedule scrapes, call the Actor via API, stream results to Sheets/Make/Zapier, and rotate proxies when pages are protected.

Step-by-step: Egypt directory extraction

1. Open this Actor on Apify and go to the Input tab.
2. Add categories, search keywords, and/or locations relevant to Egypt (see schema enums).
3. Set Max Results (for example 20) for a first test run.
4. Enable only the data add-ons you need — more fields can move you into a higher pay-per-event tier.
5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel when the run succeeds.
