🏛️ GrowthZone Directory Scraper — Association & Chamber Member Lists

Scrape the public member directory of any association or chamber of commerce that runs on GrowthZone / ChamberMaster — the platform behind thousands of trade-association and chamber directories. Pull each member's company name, website, full address, member type, and business categories into one clean dataset. Then run it on a schedule to monitor newly-joined members and get a Slack / email / webhook ping when a new business appears.

One actor, thousands of directories — just point it at a GrowthZone directory URL (or pick a preset). No login, no browser automation; every field comes from the site's server-rendered, alphabetically-indexed listing pages.

What does it do?

GrowthZone (and its chamber-focused product ChamberMaster) powers the online "member directory" on a huge number of *.growthzoneapp.com sites. Those directories are indexed A–Z at /FindStartsWith?term=A…Z, and this actor sweeps that index and returns clean, structured business listings you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or push to your app via API.

• 🏢 Company name + member type (e.g. "General Contractor", "Restaurant", "Insurance").
• 🌐 Website — the member's own site (great for enrichment/outreach research).
• 📍 Full address — street, city, state, ZIP (parsed from the listing's schema.org microdata).
• 🏷️ Business categories — every category/CSI code the member is listed under.
• 🔗 Listing URL — the member's detail page on the directory.
• 🔔 New-member monitor — schedule it and get alerts when a new business joins.

Scope: this actor collects public business listings (company, website, address, categories). It does not scrape the per-member contact person or email — those are loaded by JavaScript on the detail page and are intentionally left out.

Two ways to use it

1. Bulk scrape — point it at a directory URL (or a preset), sweep A–Z, and pull the whole membership into one dataset.
2. New-member monitor (the recurring play) — set monitorMode: true, attach an Apify Schedule, and the actor outputs/alerts only newly-listed members — catch new businesses the day they join.

How do I find a directory URL?

On a chamber/association website, open Member Directory (or "Find a Member" / "Find a Contractor"). If the address bar shows a *.growthzoneapp.com host, copy everything up to (but not including) /FindStartsWith — that's your directoryUrl. Examples of the path segment: /member-directory, /memberdirectory, /directory.

---

Input

Field	What it does
directoryUrl	base URL of any GrowthZone directory (before /FindStartsWith)
preset	pick a verified directory instead of pasting a URL
letters	which A–Z index pages to crawl (default: full sweep)
categoryContains	client-side filter by business category text
maxRecords	hard cap per run (0 = unlimited)

Is it legal to scrape these directories?

This actor reads public business listings — company name, website, business address, and categories that organizations publish specifically so the public can find them. It does not collect personal contact people or emails. Scraping publicly available business data is generally legal, but you are responsible for your use: review the directory's Terms of Service before commercial use, and comply with applicable marketing/anti-spam laws (e.g. CAN-SPAM, CASL, GDPR) when contacting any business.

FAQ

What is GrowthZone / ChamberMaster? GrowthZone is association-management software; ChamberMaster is its chamber-of-commerce edition. Both power public member directories on *.growthzoneapp.com.

Will it work on my chamber's directory? If the directory is hosted on growthzoneapp.com and indexed at /FindStartsWith, yes — paste its directoryUrl. The parser uses the platform's standard markup, so it's portable across directories.

Does it get phone numbers and emails? No. The actor returns public business listings (name, website, address, categories). Per-member contact people/emails are JS-rendered on detail pages and are intentionally excluded.

Can I monitor new members? Yes. Turn on monitorMode, attach an Apify Schedule, and add a Slack/webhook/email channel — each run alerts only members new since the last run.
