What it does

The actor searches the Hotfrog business directory for the keyword, city and country edition you pass, paginates through the matching listings, and writes one normalized record per business to the run's dataset. With details enabled, each business profile is opened to collect the website, email, description and geolocation on top of the name, phone and full address. Missing source values are returned as null, and optional paid add-ons can find a public contact email, score each business as a B2B lead, write a prospecting summary and classify the business category.

Data covers business listings on Hotfrog across its country editions (for example us, gb, au, ca). It is independent and has no affiliation with Hotfrog.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns two plumber leads with all three AI add-ons on.

{
  "keyword": "plumber",
  "city": "austin",
  "country": "us",
  "maxBusinesses": 2,
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "withLeadScore": true,
  "withProfileSummary": true,
  "withCategorize": true
}

Change keyword, city and country to any business type and location. Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor searches the prefilled query (plumber in austin, us).

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~hotfrog-business-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"dentist","city":"london","country":"gb","maxBusinesses":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~hotfrog-business-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"accountant","city":"sydney","country":"au","maxBusinesses":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/hotfrog-business-scraper \
  --input '{"keyword":"coffee shop","city":"toronto","country":"ca"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per business record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Add-on events. Full profile enrichment (details), contact search attempt (contact-search-attempt), contact email found (contact-email-found), AI lead score (ai_lead_score), AI profile summary (ai_profile_summary) and AI categorization (ai_categorize) are billed separately, and only when they produce usable output.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run (contact enrichment capped at 3). Upgrade for higher maxBusinesses.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The keyword or city matched no listings in that country edition. Try a broader keyword, a larger city, or a different country code. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Do I get websites and emails? Yes, when fetchDetails is on. Each profile is opened to collect the website, email, description and geolocation. Turn it off for a faster run with name, phone and address only.

Why is email null? Not every Hotfrog profile publishes an email. Enable the contact enrichment add-on to attempt a public business email from the company website.

Which countries are covered? Hotfrog runs country editions such as us, gb, au and ca. Set the country code to the edition you want.

What do the AI add-ons return? withLeadScore fills aiLeadScore, aiLeadTier and aiLeadRationale; withProfileSummary fills aiSummary; withCategorize fills aiCategory and aiTags. All are billed only on usable output and require a paid Apify plan.

Is this an official Hotfrog tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Hotfrog. It reads only publicly available business listings. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms and applicable laws.
