Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### 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 #### How to use 1. Click **Try for free** on the Actor page 2. In the **Input** tab, add one or more golocal.de category URLs (e.g., `https://www.golocal.de/deutschland/computer`) 3. Set **Maximum Listings** to control how many businesses to scrape (default: 100) 4. Toggle **Extract Emails** on or off depending on whether you need email addresses from business websites 5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete (typically 2–5 minutes for 100 listings) 6. Download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the **Output** tab #### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | Array | Yes | — | URLs of golocal.de category pages to scrape. Example: `https://www.golocal.de/deutschland/computer` | | `maxListings` | Integer | No | 100 | Maximum number of business listings to scrape per run | | `getEmails` | Boolean | No | true | When enabled, visits business websites to extract emails if not found on golocal.de | | `maxConcurrency` | Integer | No | 5 | Maximum number of concurrent requests. Increase for faster runs, decrease if you hit rate limits | #### Output example ```json { "pageUrl": "https://www.golocal.de/berlin/computer/technik-laden-KxY123/?reviewFilter=all&starsFilter=1#reviewList", "pageTitle": "Technik Laden Berlin - Computer & IT-Service | golocal.de", "profileName": "Technik Laden Berlin", "profileLink": "https://www.golocal.de/berlin/computer/technik-laden-KxY123/", "reviewerName": "Markus W.", "negativeReview": "Sehr schlechter Service. Mein Laptop wurde nach 3 Wochen immer noch nicht repariert und niemand konnte mir eine Auskunft geben.", "negativeReviewLink": "https://www.golocal.de/berlin/computer/technik-laden-KxY123/bewertung/abc456/", "address": "Friedrichstraße 42, 10117 Berlin", "phoneNumber": "030 12345678", "profileWebsite": "https://www.technik-laden-berlin.de", "email": "info@technik-laden-berlin.de" } ```` #### 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 #### Integrations Outputs are compatible with: - **Make (formerly Integromat):** Use the Apify module to trigger runs and send data to Google Sheets, Airtable, or CRMs - **Zapier:** Connect Actor runs to 5,000+ apps via the Apify Zapier integration - **Google Sheets:** Export dataset directly as CSV and import into any spreadsheet - **REST API:** Run the Actor programmatically and retrieve results via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api) - **Webhooks:** Get notified when a run completes and process results automatically #### Support Have questions or found a bug?
