## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Paginas Amarillas Scraper - LATAM Business Directory Leads

### What does Paginas Amarillas Scraper do?

**Paginas Amarillas Scraper** searches [Paginas Amarillas](https://www.paginasamarillas.com.ar), the best-known business directory brand across Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Peru, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama). Give it a category and city and it returns real businesses with formatted phone numbers, email, full address with GPS coordinates, and social media links (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, website) - most of it available with no extra fetch, straight from the search results.

No login, no anti-bot workarounds. Runs on the Apify platform with API access, scheduling, monitoring and CSV/Excel/JSON export.

### Why use Paginas Amarillas Scraper?

- **B2B lead generation** - build a call/WhatsApp list for a category and city in seconds instead of manually browsing the directory.
- **Market mapping** - see how many and which businesses operate in a given category/locality.
- **Contact enrichment** - cross-reference a company name against the directory to find phone, email, and social profiles.
- **Local SEO / competitor research** - see who else is listed in your category and city, and how they present themselves.

### How Paginas Amarillas Scraper compares to alternatives

Measured against the yellow-pages actors on the Apify Store (September 2026):

| | This actor | PaginasAmarillas.es actor | Paginas Amarelas actor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | LATAM: Argentina, Colombia, Peru and more | Spain only | Portugal only |
| GPS coordinates per business | Yes | Not advertised | Not advertised |
| Emails and social media links | Yes, when published | Phone-focused | Phone-focused |
| Lead fields per record | Name, description, phones, email, address, GPS, socials | Contact-centric | Contact-centric |

The only actor in the niche covering the Latin American Paginas Amarillas directories rather than Iberian ones.

### How to use Paginas Amarillas Scraper

1. Go to the **Input tab**, pick a **country**, and enter one or more **category / city searches** (e.g. `empresas-constructoras` or `limpieza-servicios-para-empresas/buenos-aires`).
2. Toggle **include business hours** on if you want each business's opening hours (billed as a separate event).
3. Click **Run**. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset viewer.

### Input

- **Country** - which Paginas Amarillas country site to search (Argentina, Colombia, Peru, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama).
- **Category / city searches** - one or more searches in the form `category` or `category/city`. **Each search returns up to 15 real businesses** - add more searches (more categories, more cities) for more coverage rather than expecting one search to paginate further.
- **Include business hours** *(optional)* - fetches each business's own page for opening hours.

Example input:

```json
{
    "country": "com.ar",
    "searches": ["empresas-constructoras", "limpieza-servicios-para-empresas/buenos-aires"],
    "includeDetails": true
}
```

### Output

```json
{
    "recordType": "business-record",
    "name": "Ariel Ramírez Techos",
    "description": "Soluciones integrales en reparación y mantenimiento de techos...",
    "phone": "(011) 15 - 6978 - 4346",
    "email": "lr_techos@hotmail.com",
    "website": "http://www.arielramireztechos.com",
    "whatsapp": "https://wa.me/5491169784346",
    "streetName": "Francisco Borges 4279",
    "locality": "Munro - Buenos Aires",
    "latitude": "-34.519089",
    "longitude": "-58.519324"
}
```

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

### Data table

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `name` / `description` / `slogan` | Business identity |
| `phone` / `allPhones` | Formatted phone number(s) |
| `email` | Contact email, when published |
| `website` / `facebook` / `instagram` / `whatsapp` | Social & web presence links |
| `streetName` / `locality` / `latitude` / `longitude` | Address with GPS coordinates |
| `logoUrl` | Business logo image URL |
| `openingHours` | Opening hours per day (detail records only, when published by the business) |

### Pricing / Cost estimation

This actor uses **Pay Per Event** pricing. The **business record** is the primary event; **business hours** are only billed when "include business hours" is on - and only for businesses that actually published their hours.

### Tips or Advanced options

- **Each search returns up to 15 businesses** - this is a real ceiling of the directory's own search page, not a setting. Add more category/city combinations to widen coverage rather than expecting one search to go deeper.
- **Combine category + city** for the most targeted leads (e.g. `plomeros/rosario`); category alone searches nationally.
- **Not every business has published hours** - the detail-record event only fires for businesses that actually filled in their opening hours.

### FAQ, disclaimers, and support

**Is this legal?** This actor only extracts publicly available business listing information already published by Paginas Amarillas on its own directory pages.

**Why only 15 results per search?** That's the real number of results the directory's own search page exposes per query - running additional, more specific category/city searches is the way to get broader coverage.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
