📁 Hong Kong Business Directory Scraper

Extract Hong Kong business data with Yelo.hk

Yelo.hk (yelo.hk) lists local businesses across Hong Kong. Use this Actor as a practical Hong Kong business directory API alternative: configure filters in the Input tab and download JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Yelo.hk is a citywide Hong Kong directory—there is no multi-city picker, so category and keyword filters do the heavy lifting for APAC research.

Runs on the Apify platform, so you get monitoring, scheduling, API access, dataset exports, and proxy support out of the box.
