Input

You can provide input either through the editor on the Apify platform or as a JSON object.

The only mandatory fields you need to provide are at least one of: startUrls or searchTerm & searchLocation.

An example of minimal input:

1{
2    "startUrls": [
3        {
4            "url": "https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=air+conditioning+service+repair&geo_location_terms=San+Francisco%2C+CA"
5        },
6        {
7            "url": "https://www.yellowpages.com/san-francisco-ca/mip/air-conditioning-service-repair-515780833"
8        }
9    ],
10    "searchTerm": "Air conditioning",
11    "searchLocation": "San Francisco",
12    "sortOption": "NO_SORTING",
13    "includeAllDetails": true,
14    "maxItems": 1000,
15    "proxyConfiguration": {
16        "useApifyProxy": true,
17        "apifyProxyGroups": [
18            "RESIDENTIAL"
19        ]
20    }
21}

The scraper forcibly use Apify Proxy so that you don’t get blocked by Yellow Pages. It is better to use residential proxies to reduce blocking. Also, it is advised to use a low value for max concurrency.
