🏰 BounceGuide Bounce House Scraper — Phones, Websites & Leads

Build a party-rental lead list in seconds. Pick a US state (or a city) and this actor pulls every bounce house / inflatable rental company listed on BounceGuide — with its public phone (~87%), website (~92%), serving areas, and the equipment it rents (water slides, obstacle courses, concessions…). Run it on a schedule to catch new rental companies as they list.

No login, no API key, no anti-bot. BounceGuide is a plain WordPress directory with an open REST API — runs finish in seconds and never fight a CAPTCHA.

Why this one

Party-rental lead lists are usually scraped off Google Maps at Maps prices. BounceGuide is a purpose-built directory of inflatable rental companies, so every record is already in-niche:

• ✅ Phone is public (~87% of listings)
• ✅ Website is public (~92%) — straight to the vendor's own site
• ✅ Serving areas — the actual city list each company covers (better than a single pin)
• ✅ Equipment detected — bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses, dunk tanks, concessions…
• ✅ State + city filtering and a new-listing monitor with Slack/email/webhook alerts

webhookUrl / slackWebhookUrl / emailRecipients	—	—	Where new-listing alerts go.

Pricing (pay-per-event)

Event	What it covers	Price
lot-scraped	each rental company returned	$0.004 (~$4 / 1,000)
monitor-run-completed	each scheduled watch run	$0.05 / run

Monitor & alert setup

1. Set your state (and optional city), turn Monitor mode on, and add a slackWebhookUrl, webhookUrl, or emailRecipients.
2. Create an Apify Schedule (e.g. daily) for the actor.
3. First run seeds the baseline; every later run outputs only new companies and fires one alert per new listing. State persists in a named key-value store, so nothing is double-counted across runs.

Notes

• Public directory data. Names, phones, websites and serving areas are public on BounceGuide; emails appear only when the vendor published one. You are responsible for compliant outreach — follow CAN-SPAM / GDPR / CASL.
• Inventory size is honest: BounceGuide currently lists ~159 companies across the US. Great for a clean in-niche seed list or a new-listing watch — not a 100k-row firehose.
• City filter is text-based — it matches the company's stated serving areas, so "city": "Tampa" returns companies that actually cover Tampa, not just ones pinned there.

FAQ

Why not just scrape Google Maps? You can — at Maps prices, with category noise. BounceGuide is pre-filtered to inflatable rental companies and exposes the serving-area city list Maps doesn't have.

Do I need an account or API key for BounceGuide? No. The directory and its WordPress REST API are fully public.

How fresh is the data? The actor reads the live API on every run, and listed_date tells you when each company was listed. Use monitor mode to catch additions the day they appear.

What does a state input accept? California, CA, or the raw slug california-bounce-companies — all resolve to the same category. An unrecognized state falls back to all states (with a warning in the log).

How do equipment tags work? The actor scans each listing's copy for equipment keywords (bounce house, water slide, obstacle course, dunk tank, concession, photo booth, mechanical bull, …) and returns the matches as an array.

Can I get every company in one run? Yes — leave state empty and set maxItems to 0. The whole directory is two API requests, so it finishes in seconds.

Does monitor mode re-alert the same company? No. Seen listing IDs are stored per state+city scope in a named key-value store that persists across runs.

What's in cities? The parsed list from the company's "Serving areas" block — handy for territory mapping or joining against your own city lists.

Is there an email field? Yes, but only ~1–2% of listings publish one. Phone + website come back for nearly all, so every lead is actionable.

Is this legal to use? It scrapes only public business-directory data. Legal/ToS judgment and compliant outreach are your responsibility.
