What it does

The actor searches Yellow Pages Canada (yellowpages.ca) for a keyword in a city or province, paginates through the matching business listings, and writes one normalized record per business to the run's dataset. Each Canadian address is parsed into street, city, province, and postalCode, the website redirect wrapper is resolved to the real business URL, and missing values are returned as null so you never get invented data.

An optional paid add-on (enrichContacts) attempts to find a public business contact email and contact person for results that have no email. It is off by default and billed separately (see Billing and limits).

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 10 first restaurant leads in Toronto.

{
  "maxBusinesses": 10,
  "keyword": "restaurant",
  "city": "Toronto ON",
  "enrichContacts": false,
  "enrichContactsMax": 50
}

Both keyword and city are required. Set keyword to a category (for example dentist, plumber, lawyer) and city to a location string that includes the province code (for example Vancouver BC).

Input reference

keyword	string	yes	restaurant	What to search for, for example restaurant, dentist, plumber, lawyer, or hair salon.
city	string	yes	Toronto ON	Where to search, for example Toronto ON, Vancouver BC, Montreal QC, or Calgary AB. Include the two-letter province code.
maxBusinesses	integer	no	10	Maximum number of businesses to collect. Free Apify plans are capped at 10 per run.
enrichContacts	boolean	no	false	Optional paid add-on. For each result without an email, attempt to find a public business contact email and a contact person's name. Billed per attempt, plus an extra charge only when an email is found.

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~yellowpages-canada-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"restaurant","city":"Toronto ON","maxBusinesses":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~yellowpages-canada-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"dentist","city":"Vancouver BC","maxBusinesses":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/yellowpages-canada-scraper \
  --input '{"keyword":"plumber","city":"Calgary AB"}'

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.
• Contact enrichment add-on is billed separately: per attempt when enrichContacts is on, plus an extra charge only when an email is found.
• 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 (and 3 enrichment attempts). Upgrade for higher maxBusinesses.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned only an error item. Why? Both keyword and city are required. If either is empty the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge. Provide both and re-run.

Why is website sometimes null? Not every listing publishes a website. When present, the actor resolves the Yellow Pages redirect link to the real business URL; when absent it returns null rather than inventing one.

Why is email null on most records? The listing pages rarely expose an email. Enable the enrichContacts add-on to search for a public business contact email and contact person; those values are returned in the enriched* fields.

How do I target a specific province? Put the province code in city, for example Halifax NS or Winnipeg MB. Address parsing fills province and postalCode on each record.

Is this an official Yellow Pages tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Yellow Pages Canada. It reads only data that is publicly available on the site.
