PagesJaunes Scraper

Extract business listings from PagesJaunes.fr — France's #1 business directory (Yellow Pages) — into structured JSON with names, phone numbers, addresses, ratings, opening hours, SIRET numbers, and GPS coordinates.

What is PagesJaunes Scraper?

PagesJaunes Scraper lets you extract structured business data from France's largest professional directory, helping you build lead lists, analyze local markets, and automate B2B prospecting — all without manual browsing or copy-pasting.

• Generate B2B leads at scale: extract business names, phone numbers, emails, and websites for any profession in any French city — ready for your CRM or outreach tool
• Analyze local competition: map business density, average ratings, and review counts by area to find underserved markets or evaluate competitive pressure
• Monitor directory listings: schedule daily runs to track new businesses appearing in your category, spot closures, or detect rating changes
• Enrich existing datasets: add phone numbers, addresses, SIRET registration numbers, and GPS coordinates to your business database
• Power location intelligence: use latitude/longitude data to build maps, calculate service areas, or feed geospatial models

PagesJaunes.fr has no public API and no bulk export feature. This scraper is the only way to get structured data out of the platform at scale. No other Apify actor covers PagesJaunes.

How to scrape PagesJaunes.fr businesses

The input is simple: set a search query and location, then hit run. You can also provide PagesJaunes search result URLs directly.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	"plombier"	Business type or profession to search for (e.g., "restaurant", "dentiste", "electricien")
location	string	"Paris"	City name or postal code (e.g., "Lyon", "75011", "Marseille 13001")
startUrls	array	—	PagesJaunes search result or category page URLs. Overrides searchQuery/location when provided
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of results to return (1–10,000)
scrapeDetails	boolean	false	Visit each business's detail page for opening hours, description, email, and SIRET number
proxyConfiguration	object	Residential proxies	Proxy settings. Residential proxies are required — datacenter proxies will be blocked

Tips for best results

• Start small, then scale: test with maxResults: 10 to verify output before running thousands of results
• Use specific locations: "Paris 75011" returns more targeted results than just "Paris"
• Enable scrapeDetails selectively: listing pages already include name, address, phone, rating, and GPS. Only enable detail scraping when you need opening hours, SIRET, descriptions, or emails
• Use startUrls for precision: paste PagesJaunes search URLs directly when you need exact control over categories and filters
• Schedule weekly runs to keep your business database current — new listings appear daily across all categories

Output

Results are stored in a dataset that you can download in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML format directly from the Apify Console.

FAQ

What is PagesJaunes.fr?

PagesJaunes.fr (now part of Solocal Group) is France's largest online business directory — the digital successor to the iconic Yellow Pages. It lists millions of businesses across every profession and city in France, with contact details, reviews, and opening hours.

How does PagesJaunes Scraper work?

It sends HTTP requests to PagesJaunes search pages using residential proxies and extracts structured data from the results. Optionally, it visits individual business detail pages for richer data like opening hours, SIRET numbers, and descriptions. No browser automation is needed for listing pages, keeping it fast and affordable.

What is a SIRET number?

SIRET (Systeme d'Identification du Repertoire des Etablissements) is the unique 14-digit identifier assigned to every business establishment in France. It's essential for B2B verification, legal compliance, and company research. Enable scrapeDetails: true to extract SIRET numbers.

Can I search by postal code instead of city name?

Yes. The location field accepts both city names ("Paris", "Lyon") and postal codes ("75011", "69001"). Postal codes often give more precise results for specific neighborhoods.

Why are some fields empty?

Fields like email, openingHours, description, and siret are only available on detail pages. Set scrapeDetails: true to extract them. Even with detail scraping, some businesses simply don't list all information on PagesJaunes.

How often should I run this scraper?

For lead generation, weekly runs are usually sufficient. For competitive monitoring or real-time business intelligence, daily runs ensure you catch new listings and changes quickly.

Is it legal to scrape PagesJaunes?

This scraper extracts publicly available business data that PagesJaunes.fr displays to all visitors. The data is factual (names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings) and consists of professional business information. As with any scraping tool, use the data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws including GDPR.

Limitations

• France only. PagesJaunes.fr covers French businesses exclusively.
• Residential proxies required. PagesJaunes uses Cloudflare anti-bot protection — datacenter proxies will be blocked.
• Phone numbers may be partial. Some listings use click-to-reveal phone numbers; the scraper extracts what's visible on the page.
• Email, opening hours, SIRET, and description require scrapeDetails: true, which increases run time and cost.
• Rate limiting. The actor uses controlled concurrency (max 3 concurrent pages) to avoid triggering blocks. Very large runs may take longer as a result.

Other French data scrapers

Combine PagesJaunes Scraper with these actors for comprehensive French market coverage:
