Yellow Pages Scraper

Scrape Yellow Pages US (yellowpages.com) business listings for any keyword and US location: business name, phone number, full address, website, categories, rating and review count, years in business, open status and weekly hours. Turn on profile details to also get the business email (when published), services, brands, payment methods, AKA names, extra phone numbers, social links and GPS coordinates. Built for local B2B lead lists, sales prospecting and local-market research.

Type what you are looking for (plumber, dentist, roofing contractors) and where (Chicago, IL, Austin, TX, 10001). The Actor runs every search term in every location, walks the result pages (30 businesses per page), removes duplicate sponsored listings, and saves one clean record per business. You can also paste Yellow Pages search, category or business profile URLs.

Plain HTTP, no browser, no login. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the dataset through the API into Google Sheets, a CRM or an LLM pipeline. You pay only for the businesses you get.

How much does it cost to scrape Yellow Pages?

Pay per event, no subscription and no start fee:

• $0.002 per business saved from search results ($2 per 1,000 leads).
• $0.003 extra per business whose profile page is opened (only with Open each business profile, or for profile start URLs).

1,000 plumbers with phone, address, website and rating cost $2; with emails, full hours and services $5. Platform usage (compute and proxy) is billed by Apify at cost and is small: a result page is ~300 KB. Apify's free plan is enough to try it.

How many results can I get per search?

Yellow Pages shows at most 100 pages (3,000 businesses) for one search, and busy searches in big cities often hit that limit. To collect more, split the area: use several ZIP codes or neighboring cities as Locations. Duplicates across searches are removed automatically (by Yellow Pages business id), so overlapping areas never cost twice.

Does it get emails from Yellow Pages?

Yes, when the business lists an email on its Yellow Pages profile (the "Email Business" link). Turn on Open each business profile; the email field is empty when the business has not published one. Only business contact details shown publicly by Yellow Pages are collected.

Does Yellow Pages block scrapers?

Yellow Pages sits behind Cloudflare and answers bursts of requests from one IP with HTTP 429 challenge pages. The Actor uses real-browser TLS fingerprints, keeps concurrency low, detects challenge pages and retries them on a fresh proxy IP, so runs finish instead of silently returning nothing. Use Apify Proxy (residential, US) for large runs; without a proxy the Actor slows down to one request every ~3 seconds.

Integrations and API

Use the run in Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets or HubSpot, or call it from Python/Node with the Apify client. See the API tab for ready-made snippets. A typical lead workflow: scrape Yellow Pages, then enrich the website domains with a contact finder and verify emails before outreach.

Is it legal to scrape Yellow Pages?

The Actor collects publicly available business listing data (business names, business phone numbers, addresses, websites, categories, hours and aggregate ratings) without logging in. It does not collect reviewer names, review texts or personal data about individuals. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Yellow Pages' terms, anti-spam rules (CAN-SPAM, TCPA) and applicable law.
