GoLocal.de Business & Reviews Scraper

GoLocal.de Business & Reviews Scraper

Scrapes business listings from golocal.de — Germany's local business directory — and returns structured profiles with contact details, negative reviews, and emails. No account or cookies required.

• No login, cookies, or authentication needed
• Extracts business profiles with address, phone, website, and email
• Finds negative reviews (1-star and 2-star) with reviewer names and direct links
• Smart email extraction from business websites (Impressum, Kontakt, Datenschutz pages)
• Handles pagination automatically across category listing pages
• Outputs clean JSON, CSV, or Excel via Apify dataset export

What data does it extract?

Each result contains:

Business profile: profileName, profileLink, pageUrl, pageTitle

Contact info: address, phoneNumber, profileWebsite, email

Negative reviews: reviewerName, negativeReview, negativeReviewLink

The email field is first sourced from the golocal.de profile. If not found and getEmails is enabled, the scraper visits the business website and checks the homepage, Impressum, Kontakt, and other common pages for email addresses.

Use cases

• Lead generation: Build targeted prospect lists of German businesses with verified contact details for outreach campaigns
• Reputation monitoring: Track negative reviews (1-star and 2-star) across business categories to monitor brand sentiment
• Business contact extraction: Collect phone numbers, emails, and website URLs from local German businesses at scale
• Market research: Analyze business density, ratings, and competition across German cities and categories
• Competitive analysis: Monitor competitor reviews and identify common customer complaints in your industry

Pricing

This Actor is free to use — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and proxy usage.

A typical run scraping 100 business listings costs approximately $0.05–$0.15 in Apify platform credits, depending on whether email extraction is enabled (email extraction visits additional pages per business).

New Apify accounts receive $5 in free credits — enough for hundreds of business listings.

Technical notes

• No account needed: This Actor does not require a golocal.de login, cookies, or any authentication
• Proxy: Uses Apify Proxy by default for reliable access. Recommended to leave proxy settings as default
• Email extraction: When getEmails is enabled, the scraper visits each business website and checks common German pages (Impressum, Kontakt, Datenschutz) for email addresses. This adds processing time but significantly increases email coverage
• Review filtering: The scraper specifically targets 1-star and 2-star reviews. If no 1-star reviews are found, it automatically checks for 2-star reviews
• Data freshness: All data is scraped live from golocal.de — no cached or stale results
• Limitations: Businesses without a golocal.de profile or with incomplete listings may return partial data. Email extraction depends on the business website being accessible and containing a visible email address
