📁 UAE Business Directory Scraper
Scrapes business directory data from Yello.ae, the UAE business directory. Find companies by keyword search, category, or location and extract their contact details, descriptions, and more.
🎯 What It Does
The Actor browses Yello.ae and extracts company information into structured data. You can:
- Filter by category – e.g. restaurants, insurance-services, estate-agents
- Search by keywords – e.g. "Lawyers", "IT consulting", "Bakeries"
- Filter by location – choose one or more UAE cities (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, etc.)
- Browse the full directory – leave filters empty to scrape the entire directory
Results are saved as a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
