Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Norway Business Directory Scraper Scrapes business directory data from [Yelo Norway](https://www.yelono.com) (**yelono.com**), the Norway business directory (Yello-family platform). ### Configuration - **Base URL:** `https://www.yelono.com` - **Search:** `https://www.yelono.com/norway-business-search` - **Locations:** 104 cities/regions from [Browse locations](https://www.yelono.com/browse-business-cities); slugs match `https://www.yelono.com/location/` (see `INPUT_SCHEMA.json` and `config/site.config.js`). - **Categories:** slugs from `https://www.yelono.com/category/` (e.g. `Estate_agents`, `Restaurants`). > **Note:** The older domain **yelo.no** is a WordPress maintenance placeholder; the live directory is **yelono.com**. # Actor input Schema ## `categories` (type: `array`): Optional: Filter by business categories. Example: For category page like `https://www.yelono.com/category/Estate_agents` enter only `Estate_agents`. ## `searchKeywords` (type: `string`): Optional: Search for specific companies or keywords. Enables premium pricing. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Optional: Filter by Norway cities/regions (top locations from yelono.com). If not provided, browse modes use the full directory or your other filters. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of companies to scrape ## `startPage` (type: `integer`): Page number to start scraping from. Useful for resuming previous searches. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of pages to scrape. Each page usually contains around 20 companies. ## `enableRateLimiting` (type: `boolean`): Enable rate limiting (2 seconds delay) or disable (0.5 seconds delay) ## `hybridStrategy` (type: `string`): `fast` = Cheerio + Impit HTTP (default). `browser` = Playwright (fallback). ## `includeContactDetails` (type: `boolean`): Include business hours, year established, employees, contact person ## `includeExtendedCompanyInfo` (type: `boolean`): Include website, description, and maps coordinates ## `includeRegistrationLegal` (type: `boolean`): Include registration number and VAT number ## `includeMetadata` (type: `boolean`): Include listing type, verified status, years with platform, tags ## `includeMediaContent` (type: `boolean`): Include photos, logo, products ## `includeReviewSummary` (type: `boolean`): Include review summary (rating and count) - Fast extraction ## `includeIndividualReviews` (type: `boolean`): Include individual reviews - Slower (requires additional pages). Enables premium pricing. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Select proxies to be used by the crawler. Recommended: Use Apify Proxy with Residential proxies for better Cloudflare bypass. ## Actor input object example ```json { "categories": [ "Restaurants", "Lawyers" ], "searchKeywords": "restaurant, IT services", "locations": [ "Oslo", "Bergen" ], "maxResults": 20, "startPage": 1, "maxPages": 5, "enableRateLimiting": true, "hybridStrategy": "fast", "includeContactDetails": false, "includeExtendedCompanyInfo": false, "includeRegistrationLegal": false, "includeMetadata": false, "includeMediaContent": false, "includeReviewSummary": false, "includeIndividualReviews": false, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "NO" } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `companyData` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped company information # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
