Brave Local Results Scraper

Scrapes local business listings from Brave Search. Extracts local pack results including business name, address, rating, review count, price level, phone, hours, and website for location-based queries.

What this Actor collects

Each dataset item represents one Brave local place, combining list data with the optional detail response for contact, location, ratings, hours, media, profiles, and source metadata.

• Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
• Stores source-backed fields defined by the 70-field dataset schema.
• Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

• Local lead research
• Location and category monitoring
• Business-directory enrichment
