📍 JustDial Scraper: India Business Leads, Phone & Reviews

Overview

JustDial Scraper turns a city and a category into a clean list of Indian business leads. Give it Restaurants in Mumbai or Dentists in Bangalore and it returns structured records for every matching business: name, phone number, full address, area, category, star rating, review count, geo coordinates, PIN code, verified flag, and listing URL. No login, no API key, no code required.

JustDial is India's largest local business directory, protected by Akamai Bot Manager and with no public bulk export API. This actor renders category pages over Indian residential proxies so the data looks exactly like it does to a local visitor, then normalises every listing into a consistent, CRM-ready row. You pay only per business actually delivered.

Reliability posture: blocked, empty, or failed runs are never charged. You only pay for a business record that was actually delivered.

✅ No login required | ✅ No API key | ✅ Indian residential proxy default | ✅ MCP-ready for AI agents

Features

Local lead generation. Every matching business in a city with the phone number front and centre. City and category targeting. Point the actor at the exact vertical and location you sell into. Trust signals included. JustDial verified flag plus rating count help you prioritise outreach. Geo coordinates. Latitude and longitude for territory planning, mapping, and cluster analysis. CRM ready output. Clean JSON, CSV, or Excel, ready for a spreadsheet or an outbound campaign.

How it works

JustDial serves paginated category pages at URLs like justdial.com/Mumbai/Restaurants. This actor loads those pages through the RESIDENTIAL proxy group in India, follows pagination up to the requested maxResults cap, and extracts every listing card. Behind the scenes it decodes JustDial's obfuscated phone number widget so the primary phone number lands in the record as clean text, ready to dial or import.

Each business is deduplicated by JustDial's internal docid and normalised into a stable schema, so a Restaurants run in Mumbai and a Cafes run in Delhi combine cleanly in the same dataset. Blocked runs and empty searches are never charged, and the first 10 businesses on every account are free for life.

FAQ

Do I need a JustDial login or API key? No. The actor scrapes public JustDial category listings. There is no account to log in to and no API key to manage.

Why is an Indian residential proxy recommended? JustDial uses Akamai Bot Manager and blocks datacenter IPs by reputation. Indian residential proxies (prefilled by default) render results reliably. Leave the prefill in place.

Does it return geo coordinates? Yes. Each business includes latitude and longitude where JustDial exposes them, so you can map or cluster results directly.

How is pricing calculated? Pay per event. You are charged only per business record delivered. A lifetime free tier lets you test before you spend.

Can I scrape multiple categories or cities? Run the actor once per city and category pair (for example Restaurants in Mumbai, then Gyms in Delhi) and combine the datasets, or schedule multiple runs via the API.

Can I use it inside an AI agent? Yes. It is exposed as an MCP tool. See below.
