Yellow Pages Australia Scraper

Get Australian business leads from Yellow Pages (yellowpages.com.au) for any category and city: business name, phone, website, categories, street address, suburb, state, postcode, rating and number of reviews, years in business, opening hours, short description and slogan, profile link. Type a category and a location ("plumbers" in "Sydney NSW") or paste search URLs copied from yellowpages.com.au.

Plain HTTP requests, no browser: no login, no account, no cookies. The Actor reads only the public search pages, one page at a time per search with a pause between pages, and respects Yellow Pages' robots.txt.

Typical uses

• Lead generation and cold outreach: lists of tradies, clinics, shops or agencies in a city, with phone and website.
• Local SEO and agencies: find businesses without a website, or with few reviews, in a suburb.
• Market research: how many plumbers, dentists or cafes Yellow Pages lists in each city, and how they are rated.
• CRM enrichment: match your accounts to their Yellow Pages profile, phone and categories.
• Spreadsheets, BI and AI agents: clean rows for Google Sheets, n8n, Make, Zapier or an MCP client.

What you get

One row per business:

Field	Description
search, searchUrl	Your search and the page read
businessId, url	Yellow Pages business ID and profile link
name	Business name as published
phone	Main phone number shown
website	Website link, when the business gives one
categories	Categories shown on the result (e.g. Plumbers & Gasfitters)
streetAddress, suburb, state, postcode, country	Address as published (many trades publish only a suburb, or no address)
rating, reviewCount	Average rating out of 5 and number of ratings, when rated
yearsInBusiness	When shown
openingHours	As given by the page, e.g. Mo-Fr 07:00-17:00
description, slogan	Short text from the business, when shown
page, position, totalResults	Where the business was, and how many results Yellow Pages reports
observedAt	When the page was read (UTC)

Missing values are always null, never guessed. A search without businesses (or blocked, or unreadable) gets one free row with found: false, a status and a message.

• searchUrls: search pages from yellowpages.com.au (/<city-state>/<category>). The page number is ignored.
• categories and locations: each category is searched in each location. A location needs its state (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT), optionally a postcode.
• maxResultsPerSearch: 1 to 600 (default 60). Yellow Pages shows 30 businesses per page; the Actor reads up to 20 pages per search.

Up to 100 searches per run. Businesses found by two of your searches are returned and billed once.

Pricing

Pay per event: one event per business returned, only with its name, profile link, phone and categories, plus a small start fee per run ($0.002).

Plan	Per business	Per 1,000 businesses
Free	$0.0025	$2.50
Bronze	$0.0022	$2.20
Silver	$0.002	$2.00
Gold	$0.0018	$1.80

Free: searches without businesses, pages that are blocked or cannot be read, businesses without a phone, duplicates and input mistakes. On the free Apify plan, a run reads up to 3 searches and 30 businesses per search.

FAQ

Is it legal? The Actor reads only pages anyone can see without an account, at a slow pace, and respects robots.txt. It returns business information as the directory publishes it (business name, business phone, address), nothing about private persons. Yellow Pages' terms of use restrict automated access: you are responsible for how you use the data, including Australia's Spam Act and Do Not Call Register rules for outreach. This is not legal advice.

Does it return emails? Yellow Pages search pages do not show emails. Feed the website column to our Website Email Extractor.

Why are some searches empty or BLOCKED? If Yellow Pages refuses a request (rate limit or bot check), the Actor stops that search and charges nothing beyond the results already delivered. If this happens after the first page, the run summary warns that the search stopped early and its results are partial. It never solves or bypasses a check. Try again later or with fewer searches per run.

Why NOT_FOUND for my category? Yellow Pages uses its own category names in URLs (e.g. plumbers-gasfitters). Search on the site and paste the URL.

Why do some businesses have no street address? Many mobile trades publish only their phone and service area; the Actor never guesses an address.
