## Pricing
from $1.05 / 1,000 business leads
This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?
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
## YellowPages Scraper: Local Business Leads with Phone & Website
Turn YellowPages.com into a clean B2B lead list. Give it a category and a city and it returns every business it finds with the fields a sales team actually needs: name, phone, website, full address, categories, star rating, review count and years in business, all as structured JSON.
The per-lead price is the whole bill: platform usage is included, so what you see on the pricing tab is what a lead costs. Rows with no phone, website or address are dropped, so every result is a usable lead rather than an empty promo card.
### What you get per business
| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `name` | Business name |
| `phone` | Phone number as listed |
| `website` | Business website when present |
| `streetAddress`, `city`, `state`, `zip` | Full address, split into fields |
| `categories` | The YellowPages categories the business is listed under |
| `rating`, `reviewCount` | Star rating and number of reviews |
| `yearsInBusiness` | Years in business when shown |
| `snippet` | A short review snippet when present |
| `openStatus` | "open now" / hours flag when shown |
| `ypUrl`, `listingId` | Link to the YellowPages page and its listing id |
| `isAd` | True for sponsored / promoted listings |
| `searchTerm`, `location`, `sourceUrl`, `scrapedAt` | The search that found it and the run timestamp |
### Who uses it
- **Lead-generation and sales teams** building call and email lists for a trade in a territory.
- **Agencies** selling websites, ads or SEO to local businesses that have a phone but a weak or missing site.
- **Field-service and franchise sales** mapping competitors and prospects city by city.
- **Data pipelines** that need local business data as clean JSON, no API key.
### Input examples
One trade in one city:
```json
{
"searchTerms": ["plumber"],
"locations": ["Austin, TX"],
"maxResults": 300
}
````
Several trades across several metros (each term is searched in each location):
```json
{
"searchTerms": ["roofing contractor", "hvac", "electrician"],
"locations": ["Denver, CO", "Phoenix, AZ", "Dallas, TX"],
"maxResults": 2000
}
```
Paste a YellowPages URL directly:
```json
{
"searchTerms": ["https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=dentist&geo_location_terms=Miami%2C+FL"]
}
```
### How it works
Each category is searched in each location, and the actor walks the YellowPages result pages, deduping businesses so a chain office listed on several pages is one row. It stops a search when a page returns nothing new or when your `maxResults` is reached. Sponsored and promo listings are flagged with `isAd`; contentless promo cards with no contact details are skipped entirely.
### Pricing
You pay per business lead returned, and that is the whole bill: platform usage is included in the price. No subscription.
| Event | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Business lead | $1.50 per 1,000 |
| Actor start | $0.001 per run |
The tiny start fee covers runs that return nothing; on any normal search it is noise next to the per-lead price.
### FAQ
**Do I need a proxy or an API key?** No. The actor brings everything it needs, and platform usage is included in the price, so nothing extra appears on your bill.
**How do I search many cities at once?** Put the cities in `locations` and the trades in `searchTerms`. The actor runs every combination, so three trades across five cities is fifteen searches in one run.
**Can I paste a filtered YellowPages URL?** Yes. Put the full URL in `searchTerms` and it is fetched as-is, so any filters in that URL are respected.
**Do I get an email address?** YellowPages listings carry a phone, website and address rather than an email. Use the `website` field to enrich emails downstream. Email enrichment straight from the business website is on the roadmap; open an issue if you want it prioritized.
**Why are some businesses missing?** Rows with no phone, website or address are dropped because they are not usable leads. Everything with at least one contact field is kept.

### Something missing?
If you need an extra field, email enrichment, or another directory, open an issue on this Actor and describe it. I read every request and small additions usually ship within days. More lead generation Actors are on [my profile](https://apify.com/tagadanar).

# Actor input Schema
## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):
What kind of business to find. One per entry (e.g. plumber, dentist, roofing contractor). You can also paste a full YellowPages search URL and it is used as-is. Each term is searched in every location below.
## `locations` (type: `array`):

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):
Total businesses to return across all category and location combinations. YellowPages lists about 30 businesses per page and pages deep for common categories.

"Austin, TX"
],
"maxResults": 40
}
```
# Actor output Schema
