📇 Yellow Pages Scraper: US Business Leads & Contacts

Overview

Yellow Pages Scraper 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. Every phone number is normalised to +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX for CRM ingestion.

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 | ✅ Pay only for delivered businesses | ✅ MCP-ready for AI agents

Features

Any vertical, any US city. Plumbers in Austin, dentists in Chicago, law firms in Miami. Longevity signal. years_in_business helps you prioritise established businesses. Automatic pagination. Collects across result pages until it hits your cap. Normalised phone. Every number cleaned to +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX on the way out. US residential proxies. Reliable rendering with no datacenter blocks.

How it works

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 into a consistent record.

There is no account to log in to and no API key to manage. Each search is deduplicated before push, so you never pay twice for the same business inside a single run. 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 maxResults 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.

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