• Monitoring: run it on a schedule with Only new businesses and each run saves only businesses you haven't received yet.

🏆 Why this scraper

• Fast. 1,000 businesses in about 3 seconds. 1,000 with full business details in about 15 seconds. No result limit per search.
• Only real matches. The site mixes paid ads from other categories and other cities into every search. Only close matches keeps just the businesses that fit your search words and place.
• Right country, every time. Each country's site also lists some businesses from neighboring countries. They are left out, so a Colombia search gives you Colombian businesses only.
• Phones ready to dial. Every phone and WhatsApp number in international format (+57..., +51...), even when the site shows it without the country code.
• Clean, typed data. Map positions as numbers, yes/no fields as true/false, days in English, no HTML leftovers.
• No proxy needed. Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time $0.003 when the run starts, plus a price per business saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

Your Apify plan	Price per business
Free	$0.013
Bronze	$0.012
Silver	$0.011
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.010

Approximate total cost:

Businesses collected	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold+
100	$1.30	$1.20	$1.10	$1.00
1,000	$13.00	$12.00	$11.00	$10.00
10,000	$130.00	$120.00	$110.00	$100.00

Business details add-on: when Business details is on (or the rating or opening-day filter turns it on), each business saved with its details adds one more charge:

Your Apify plan	Business details, per business
Free	$0.004
Bronze	$0.0035
Silver	$0.003
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.0025

So 1,000 businesses with details cost $12.50 on Gold ($10 + $2.50). Businesses whose details didn't load pay only the base price. Businesses left out by filters are free. No proxy costs. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 businesses.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Paginas Amarillas Scraper.
3. Type search terms (or keep the prefilled one), pick countries and cities, add filters, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML from the Dataset tab.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Apify MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and ask in plain words, for example: "Find 200 restaurants in Lima with WhatsApp on Paginas Amarillas". The agent runs this Actor and reads the results.

🔧 Troubleshooting

• Few or no results. Paginas Amarillas searches in Spanish: try "restaurantes" instead of "restaurants", or the plural and singular ("farmacia", "farmacias"). Check the city spelling ("Bogota" and "Bogotá" both work).
• Businesses from another category or city. Those are paid ads the site mixes in. Turn on Only close matches.
• Many empty emails or websites. Most listings are free listings with just a name, phone and address. Use the Only with email or Only with website filters, or Only premium listings, which carry the most data.
• Rating is empty. Only businesses with customer reviews on the site have a rating.

❓ FAQ

Which countries? Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Panama: every country where the Paginas Amarillas sites are online.

Is there a limit per search? No. Every result the site has for a search can be collected (13,000+ restaurants in Colombia, for example).

Do I need a proxy? No.

Does it scrape paginasamarillas.es (Spain)? No. Spain's yellow pages are a different site.
