🇧🇪 Pagesdor.be / Goudengids.be Business Directory Scraper

🎯 Belgium's Yellow Pages, ready for your CRM, in seconds.

This scraper collects clean, structured business records from Belgium's largest professional directory — Pagesdor.be (French) and its Dutch twin Goudengids.be — including company names, phone numbers, websites, full addresses, VAT (BCE) numbers, GPS coordinates, ratings, social profiles and email addresses. Filter by category and city, drop in profile URLs, or build B2B lead lists at scale.

🚀 What Does It Do?

This scraper automatically pulls publicly listed Belgian businesses from Pagesdor.be and Goudengids.be and turns them into ready-to-use spreadsheets, CRM imports, or webhook payloads. No copy-pasting, no manual browsing — just plug in your filters and hit Start.

💡 Three modes of operation:

1. 🔍 Discovery Mode — provide a category and a Belgian city ("plombier" + "Liège"), the scraper finds everything matching.
2. 🌐 Search URL Mode — paste any Pagesdor.be / Goudengids.be category URL (e.g. /entreprises/Bruxelles/restaurants/) and harvest the results.
3. 📋 Direct URL Mode — supply specific business profile URLs and pull only those companies.

❓ FAQ

🤔 Does the scraper cover both Pagesdor.be and Goudengids.be? Yes — both share the same backend. Use language fr for Pagesdor (French) and nl for Goudengids (Dutch). Profile URLs from either side work in Direct URL mode.

🤔 How fresh is the data? Each run hits Pagesdor / Goudengids live, so what you get is exactly what's published right now.

🤔 How many results can I extract per category? Pagesdor returns up to ~40 businesses per category page — to go deeper, supply multiple search URLs (different cities, postal codes, sub-categories) or use Direct URL mode for specific companies.

🤔 What's the difference between fast mode and full mode? Listing-only mode (extractDetails=false) gives you ~10 fields per business in seconds. Full mode (extractDetails=true) visits every profile to add email, VAT, website, social links and extended description.

🤔 Can I export the data? Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, RSS. You can also push data directly to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any webhook/API endpoint.

🤔 How often should I run this? For fresh data, run weekly or monthly. You can schedule automatic runs on Apify with just a few clicks.
