📇 Yellow Pages Scraper — US Business Leads & Contacts

What is the Yellow Pages Scraper?

The Yellow Pages Scraper is an Apify actor that turns any YellowPages.com search into a clean, structured US lead list. Give it a category and a US city (or ZIP), and it returns every matching business with its name, phone, full street address, categories, website and years in business — deduplicated and ready to drop into a CRM, spreadsheet or outbound campaign. No login, no API key, no manual copy-paste.

Why use it

• Generate US local leads at scale — every business in a category and city, with phone and address.
• Search any vertical, anywhere in the US — plumbers in Austin, dentists in Chicago, law firms in Miami.
• Longevity signal included — years_in_business helps you prioritise established businesses.
• Auto-paginates — collects across result pages until it hits your cap or runs out of results.
• CRM-ready output — clean JSON or CSV, ready for a spreadsheet or sales tool.

No login, no official API, no rate-limit wall

YellowPages.com has no public bulk-export API and blocks datacenter traffic. This actor scrapes YellowPages search results over US residential proxies, paginating through the results and normalising every listing — including a cleaned +1 phone number — into a consistent record. There is no account to log in to and no API key to manage. You pay only per business actually delivered.

FAQ

Do I need a YellowPages login or API key?

No. The actor scrapes public YellowPages.com search results. There is no account to log in to and no API key.

Why is a US residential proxy required?

YellowPages.com blocks datacenter traffic. US residential proxies (prefilled by default) render results reliably. Leave the prefill in place for the best success rate.

Can I search by ZIP code?

Yes. The Location field accepts either a City, ST string (e.g. Austin, TX) or a 5-digit ZIP code.

Does it paginate automatically?

Yes. The actor continues across result pages until it collects your Max businesses limit or YellowPages runs out of matching results.

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.
