Manta Scraper

Pull US small-business profiles from Manta.com at scale — business name, full mailing address, phone, website, email, industry category, description, revenue range, employee count, and year founded, one clean row per company. Built for lead-generation teams, sales prospectors, and market researchers who need structured small-business firmographics without digging through directory pages by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• Nationwide coverage — all 50 US states plus DC — target a single state, a handful, or sweep the whole country; pick states by name from the dropdown (the input field uses standard two-letter codes like RI, NY, TX).
• 10 featured industries, or sweep all at once — Consumer Products & Services, Professional Services, Restaurants & Bars, Health & Medicine, Automotive, Construction, Real Estate, Financial Services, Education, and Technology; pick one, or choose "All categories" to sweep every industry in a single de-duplicated run.
• 15 firmographic fields per business — name, category, subcategory, description, full address (street, city, state, ZIP), phone, website, email, revenue range, employee count, year founded, and the source profile URL.
• Revenue, headcount, and founding year on every enriched profile — not just contact data: estimated annual revenue range, employee count, and year founded come straight from each company's Manta profile.
• Decoded direct website URLs — the real business website, not a redirect wrapper, so your lists land ready to use.
• Two ways to target — filters or URLs — browse by state plus industry, or paste Manta category, state, and /c/ company-profile URLs directly; pasted URLs take priority and honor any filters baked into them.
• One clean row per business — a flat, deduplicated schema with empty fields normalized to null, ready to drop into a CRM, spreadsheet, or database.
• Unlimited or capped runs — set a max-results cap to test, or leave it at 0 to sweep an entire state-and-industry listing end to end.

Getting Started

One State, One Industry

The simplest run — restaurants and bars in Rhode Island:

{
    "states": ["RI"],
    "category": "restaurants_and_bars"
}

Multiple States With a Cap

Professional-services firms across New York and Texas, capped at 500 results:

{
    "states": ["NY", "TX"],
    "category": "professional_services",
    "maxResults": 500
}

Paste Manta URLs Directly

Mix a category-and-state browse page with a single company profile — URLs take priority over the filters:

{
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.manta.com/mb_43_C4_40/restaurants_and_bars/rhode_island",
        "https://www.manta.com/c/mx4d4pk/finn-s-harborside"
    ],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchUrls	string[]	[]	One or more Manta.com URLs — category/state browse pages or individual /c/ company profile pages. When provided, these take priority and the State and Category filters are ignored.

Filters

Used only when no URLs are provided above.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
states	select[]	[]	One or more US states (all 50 plus the District of Columbia). Pick from the dropdown by name; the input value is the standard two-letter code (RI, NY, TX). Leave empty to search nationwide. With several states, the Max Results cap is shared in the order chosen — earlier states may use it up first.
category	select	All categories	A single industry: one of 10 featured categories, or "All categories" to sweep across all 10 industries in one run.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum business profiles to return across all sources. Set to 0 for no cap (a 50,000 safety ceiling always applies). The run stops requesting new pages once the cap is reached and keeps the full final page rather than cutting it short. Across multiple states, categories, or URLs the cap is filled in order — earlier sources may use it before later ones are reached.

Output

Each row is one business profile. Here's a representative result:

{
    "name": "Finn's Harborside",
    "category": "Restaurants",
    "subcategory": "Eating Places",
    "description": "Waterfront restaurant serving fresh New England seafood, steaks, and craft cocktails on the harbor.",
    "address": "38 Water St",
    "city": "East Greenwich",
    "state": "RI",
    "zip": "02818",
    "phone": "(401) 884-6363",
    "website": "https://www.finnsharborside.com",
    "email": "info@finnsharborside.com",
    "revenueRange": "$2.5 to $5 million",
    "employeeCount": "20 to 49",
    "yearFounded": 1998,
    "url": "https://www.manta.com/c/mx4d4pk/finn-s-harborside"
}

Field	Type	Description
name	string	Business name
category	string	Primary industry category
subcategory	string | null	More specific industry sub-category when published
description	string | null	Business description / about text
address	string | null	Street address line
city	string | null	City
state	string | null	US state (two-letter)
zip	string | null	ZIP / postal code
phone	string | null	Primary phone number
website	string | null	Business website URL (direct, redirect wrappers removed)
email	string | null	Contact email when listed
revenueRange	string | null	Estimated annual revenue range
employeeCount	string | null	Employee count or range
yearFounded	integer | null	Year the business was founded
url	string	Manta.com profile URL for this business

Firmographic fields — email, revenueRange, employeeCount, and yearFounded — are filled when Manta publishes them and returned as null when it doesn't.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a cap, then scale — set maxResults to 50–100 to confirm the data fits your needs, then raise it or set it to 0 for a full sweep.
• Leave maxResults at 0 to sweep an entire slice — a single state-and-industry listing runs end to end, keeping the full final page rather than trimming it.
• Paste a Manta browse URL to hit an exact industry-geography slice — copy the category-plus-state page straight from your browser to target a precise segment without rebuilding the filters by hand.
• Enrich a single account on demand — drop one /c/ company-profile URL into searchUrls to pull just that business, fully enriched, in one run.
• Expect richest firmographics on established businesses — revenue range, employee count, and year founded are densest for larger, longer-running companies; very small or brand-new listings often leave them blank.
• Pick B2B categories for denser revenue and headcount data — Professional Services, Financial Services, and Construction tend to publish fuller firmographics than consumer categories.
• Combine states in one run — list several states together and the run works through each in turn, returning one merged, de-duplicated dataset. Because the Max Results cap is shared across them in order, raise the cap (or run states one at a time) when you need full coverage of every state rather than as many as the cap allows.

Pricing

From $2.00 per 1,000 results — flat pay-per-result pricing, well below the cost of manually building small-business lists. 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	$0.24	$0.225	$0.215	$0.20
1,000	$2.40	$2.25	$2.15	$2.00
10,000	$24.00	$22.50	$21.50	$20.00
100,000	$240.00	$225.00	$215.00	$200.00

A "result" is one business profile in the output dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
