Find local businesses by category and city or area without scraping Google Maps. This Apify Actor uses the free, public OpenStreetMap Nominatim and Overpass services, needs no API key, and exports lead-friendly contact and location data.

What it does

  1. Geocodes the requested location with Nominatim.
  2. Maps common business categories to the correct OpenStreetMap tag.
  3. Searches named nodes and ways inside the location boundary with Overpass.
  4. Saves clean business records with addresses, coordinates, and available contact details.

Supported category shortcuts include restaurant, cafe, dentist, hotel, bar, pharmacy, gym, bakery, hairdresser, supermarket, doctor, lawyer, and car_repair. Other categories are tried as both an amenity and a shop tag.

Input
