• Search terms + location - a trade and a city ("Chicago, IL") or a ZIP code, or
• Search URLs - paste YellowPages.com search result URLs directly.
• Filters - exclude sponsored results (excludeAds), require a phone, require a website, or set a minimum star rating.

Reliability

YellowPages sits behind Cloudflare, so this is a full browser actor built to clear it: it opens a fresh browser context per attempt and waits for the challenge to pass rather than using a fixed timeout, with a generous retry budget. A run that genuinely cannot get through emits nothing, bills $0, and says so in the status message - you are never charged for a blocked run.

Honest limits (what the source does and does not carry)

• rating ~27% / reviewCount ~18%. Most YellowPages listings have never been reviewed - this is the source, not the parser (on a full page it reads the value from every card that carries one). Density depends on the trade: dentists ~60%, restaurants ~48%, plumbers ~21%.
• yearsInBusiness ~35%, openStatus ~56%, snippet ~54% are owner-supplied profile fields; unclaimed listings simply have none.
• Sponsored listings are kept, not hidden, and flagged with isAd. A sponsored service-area business often has no street address ("Serving the Chicago area") - that text is preserved rather than dropped. Set excludeAds: true for organic listings only.
• Search-page data only - no per-business detail-page crawl, so no opening-hours table and no review text.

Pricing

$0.002 per business, no start fee. Only rows you actually receive are billed; a blocked run costs nothing.
