🎯 What this Qatar directory Actor does

Need structured leads from QatarYello? This Apify Actor turns Qatari directory pages into a clean dataset—ideal when you want Qatar company contacts without manual browsing.

QatarYello organizes businesses around Doha-area municipalities. Ideal when your territory is Qatar-only and you care about Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah, Al Khor, and similar slugs.

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.

Highlights

• Category + keyword discovery on qataryello.com
• Multi-city filters (Doha area listings via Al Rayyan and more)
• Tiered pay-per-event pricing aligned with how much detail you request
• Exports and integrations through Apify (Sheets, Make, Zapier, API)
