Herold.at Scraper

Pull Austrian business listings from Herold.at at scale — company names, full structured addresses, phone, email, website, Facebook, categories, opening hours, GPS coordinates, ratings, and every individual customer review. Built for lead-generation teams, market researchers, and sales prospectors who need accurate Austrian business and reputation data without copy-pasting it out of the directory one profile at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• All 9 Austrian states in one actor — Wien, Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Steiermark, Tirol, Salzburg, Kärnten, Vorarlberg, and Burgenland, or leave the location empty to sweep the whole country.
• Four contact channels in every row — phone, email, website, and Facebook captured side by side, so each business is a ready-to-use lead the moment it lands.
• Individual customer reviews with per-category sub-scores — flip on includeReviews and every review becomes its own row: reviewer, title, full text, date, and star scores broken out by Qualität, Service, Preis, Ambiente, Freundlichkeit, and more.
• Firmenbuchnummer (company register number) — the official Austrian company register ID is captured on detail-enriched rows, alongside founding year for company-verification and KYC workflows.
• Verified-business badge — every row flags whether Herold marks the listing as "Verifiziert", so you can filter for confirmed, actively-managed profiles.
• Six-part structured address plus GPS coordinates — street, postal code, city, district (Bezirk), state (Bundesland), and country split into separate fields, plus latitude and longitude for instant mapping wherever Herold publishes them.
• Full opening-hours table — per-day open/close times plus any free-text hours note, captured on detail-enriched rows.
• Aggregate rating and review count on every business — average star rating and the number of ratings behind it, even when you skip individual reviews for a cheaper run.
• Search by what + where, or paste any Herold.at URL — keyword/category terms paired with an Austrian region, or drop in listing, category, and business-profile URLs and have their built-in filters honored as-is.

Getting Started

Simple — one category, one region

The fastest way to start: what to find, and where in Austria.

{
    "searchQueries": ["Restaurant"],
    "location": "Wien",
    "maxResults": 50
}

Company-only pull (cheaper, no reviews)

Turn off detail enrichment and reviews for a fast, low-cost sweep of listing data.

{
    "searchQueries": ["Zahnarzt", "Apotheke"],
    "location": "Steiermark",
    "includeDetails": false,
    "includeReviews": false,
    "maxResults": 200
}

Full intelligence — businesses plus every review

Enrich each business and collect every individual customer review as its own row.

{
    "searchQueries": ["Hotel"],
    "location": "Tirol",
    "includeDetails": true,
    "includeReviews": true,
    "maxResults": 100
}

Paste Herold.at URLs directly

Drop in listing, category, or business-profile URLs — their built-in filters are honored as-is.

{
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.herold.at/gelbe-seiten/wien/restaurant/",
        "https://www.herold.at/gelbe-seiten/wien/RgXbM/ddr-endre-und-dr-nora-steger/"
    ],
    "includeReviews": true
}

Input Reference

Search

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	array	["Restaurant"]	What to search for on Herold.at — keyword or category terms such as Restaurant, Zahnarzt, Elektriker, Rechtsanwalt. One row per term. Leave empty if you're using direct URLs.
location	string	"Wien"	Where in Austria to search. Works best with a state/region name: Wien, Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Steiermark, Tirol, Salzburg, Kärnten, Vorarlberg, or Burgenland. Leave empty to search all of Austria.
searchUrls	array	[]	Paste Herold.at URLs directly: search/category result pages or individual business pages. Filters baked into the URL are honored as-is. Scraped in addition to the search above.

Output Detail

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeDetails	boolean	true	Visit each business's detail page to add the full opening-hours table, business description, founding year, company register number, and additional photos. Turn off for faster, cheaper runs that return only listing data.
includeReviews	boolean	false	Also collect every individual customer review for each business and add each one as its own row (reviewer name, title, text, date, and per-category star scores). Turning this on automatically fetches detail pages even if includeDetails is off.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap on total business rows across all searches and URLs. Set to 0 for no cap (an internal upper limit of 50,000 rows per run still applies to prevent runaway pagination). The actor stops requesting new pages once this number is reached but keeps the full final page even if it slightly overshoots.

Output

Every row carries a recordType field — either business or review — so you can split the two record types downstream. Business rows are always returned; review rows appear only when includeReviews is enabled, and each one links back to its parent business.

Tips for Best Results

• Use Austrian state names for location, not city names. Wien, Steiermark, and Tirol resolve cleanly; most individual city names (other than Wien) return nothing. If you want a single city, leave location empty and add the city to your search term instead.
• Turn includeReviews off for cheap company-only pulls. When you only need contact and address data, leaving reviews off keeps each business to a single row and cuts the result count dramatically.
• Reviews require detail pages. Switching on includeReviews automatically fetches each business's detail page even if includeDetails is off — so you always get reviewer scores, but listing-only business fields stay lean if detail is disabled.
• Split very large jobs by query or region. Run one category per Bundesland rather than one giant nationwide sweep — you'll get cleaner, more targeted exports and finer control over volume.
• Search categories in German. Herold is a German-language directory: use Restaurant, Zahnarzt, Elektriker, Rechtsanwalt, Apotheke, Hotel, and similar terms.
• Paste URLs to reuse Herold's own filters. If you've already narrowed a search on Herold.at, paste that URL into searchUrls and its built-in filters are honored exactly.
• Filter on verified for higher-quality leads. Verified listings are confirmed, actively-managed profiles — a strong signal when prioritizing outreach.

Pricing

From $1.50 per 1,000 results — undercutting comparable Austrian business-directory scrapers while delivering structured addresses, four contact channels, and per-category review scores. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.18	$0.17	$0.16	$0.15
1,000	$1.80	$1.70	$1.60	$1.50
10,000	$18.00	$17.00	$16.00	$15.00
100,000	$180.00	$170.00	$160.00	$150.00

Both the businesses and the individual reviews you collect count as results — so when includeReviews is on, each review row is billed alongside its business, giving you full review intelligence with per-toggle control over the bill. Apify platform usage is billed separately by Apify.
