Frequently Asked Questions

What data does the San Francisco registered businesses scraper cover?
It covers registered business locations across all of San Francisco: the business name and owner, full street address, neighborhood, supervisor district, registered business activity, registration dates and map coordinates. The directory holds over 360,000 location records.

Is the data current?
Yes. The directory is refreshed daily and this scraper reads the live snapshot. Results are sorted newest registered first, so a run surfaces the businesses that registered most recently rather than a stale archive.

How many businesses can I scrape in one run?
There is no fixed cap beyond the Max Items value you set. The scraper pages through the directory in batches, so a small run gives you the latest registrations and a large run can pull hundreds of thousands of records.

Can I filter by neighborhood, activity or date?
Yes. You can filter by neighborhood, supervisor district, ZIP code, business activity (for example Restaurant or Massage), active-only status and a registration date range, and you can search by business name or owner. Filters combine, so you can narrow to, for example, active restaurants registered in the Mission this year.

Does it include the business owner and address?
Yes. Each record includes the business name, the owner or entity name, the full business street address, the owner mailing address, the neighborhood, coordinates and registration dates. This is what makes the data useful for local lead generation and market mapping.
