JustDial Scraper

Build local-business prospect lists across India: scrape JustDial for name, phone, address, category, ratings — at <$0.001/result, the cheapest path to India SMB lead data.

India local business directory at scale

JustDial is India's largest local business directory with 30M+ listings across 1000+ cities. For B2B sellers, it's the densest source of phone-verified SMB contacts — restaurants, clinics, manufacturers, service providers — by city and category. Most Indian merchants are not on Google Maps with phone numbers, but they are on JustDial.

SMB prospect lists for Indian markets

Search any vertical ("Restaurants", "Doctors", "Plumbers", "Hotels", "Manufacturers") in any Indian city and pull a structured prospect list with phone numbers, addresses, and ratings. Far cheaper than JustDial's enterprise API, and far richer for India SMBs than scraping Google Maps. Pairs well with IndiaMart for B2B suppliers and GST verification for compliance enrichment.

What you get

Business names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, reviews, operating hours, websites, and photo counts from JustDial. Search any category ("Restaurants", "Doctors", "Plumbers", "Hotels") in any Indian city. No JustDial account or API key needed.

Limitations

• Phone numbers are populated for most listings but can be hidden for listings that have disabled public contact.
• Websites are populated for roughly 40% of listings — many JustDial businesses do not publish a website.
• Operating hours and review counts are available on the listing detail pages but may be missing for newer or lightly-used entries.
• JustDial aggressively throttles repeat traffic — the default Indian residential proxy is strongly recommended.

JustDial alternative API for B2B sourcing

JustDial.com's enterprise API is restricted-access with per-call pricing — most B2B teams can't get it. This actor is the structured-data alternative: same listing data, pay-per-result, no enterprise contract. For India SMB lead-gen, it's also richer than scraping Google Maps because JustDial publishes phone numbers and Indian-vertical categories Google doesn't.

Compared to alternatives

• vs. JustDial.com's enterprise API: Restricted access, per-API-call pricing, sales-gated. This actor returns the same listing fields with no contract and pay-per-result billing.
• vs. scraping Google Maps: JustDial is richer for India SMBs — phone numbers and Indian-vertical categories (plumbers, electricians, clinics, local services) that Google Maps often lacks.
• vs. Apify Store alternatives: No other maintained JustDial scraper on the Apify Store — this is the only production-grade option.

Pairs well with Google Maps Scraper and IndiaMart Scraper for full India local-business coverage.
