Yellow Pages Scraper — US Business Leads, Phones & Addresses

Yellow Pages Scraper extracts US local business listings from YellowPages.com for any keyword and location (city, state or ZIP code), or from any Yellow Pages search or category URL. Each business comes with its name, phone, street address, city, state, ZIP, website, categories, star rating and review count, years in business, open status and description snippet. Turn on business details to add latitude/longitude, opening hours, payment methods, founding year, full description, social links and the business's generic email (info@, sales@...). Built for lead generation, local SEO and market research.

What you get

• Search any keyword in many cities or ZIP codes in one run (keywords x locations).
• Or paste Yellow Pages search or category URLs (e.g. https://www.yellowpages.com/austin-tx/plumbers).
• Up to 3,000 businesses per search, all pages, de-duplicated across searches.
• Contact fields: phone, website, full address split into street, city, state and ZIP.
• Optional details: coordinates, opening hours, payment methods, founding year, description, social links, generic business email.
• Privacy-aware: only role e-mail addresses (info@, sales@, contact@...) are kept; personal-looking addresses are dropped.

FAQ

Which country does it cover?

The United States (yellowpages.com). Use city and state (Austin, TX) or a ZIP code as the location.

How many results can I get?

Up to 3,000 per keyword-location search; Yellow Pages shows 30 per page. Duplicates across pages and searches are removed.

Does it return emails?

With Business details on, it returns the email the business published on Yellow Pages only if it is a generic role address (info@, sales@, office@...). Addresses that look like a person's are dropped, and personal data is not collected.

What do Business details add?

Coordinates, opening hours, payment methods, founding year, description, social links and the generic email. It costs one extra page load per business, so runs are slower.

How is it priced?

$1 per 1,000 businesses, details included. No start fee.

Is it legal to scrape this data?

The Actor collects publicly available information only and does not log in or bypass access controls. Use the data in line with the website's terms and the laws that apply to you, especially when processing personal data.
