Gym Finder Scraper

What it does

Gym Finder Scraper extracts gym and fitness center listings from publicly accessible business directories like Yellow Pages. For any given location, it collects gym names, addresses, ratings, review counts, amenities, and pricing information. The actor handles pagination automatically to gather comprehensive lists of fitness facilities in your target area.

Why use it

Finding and comparing gyms across a city or region is time-consuming when done manually. This actor is ideal for fitness industry analysts, gym chain owners conducting competitive research, real estate developers evaluating neighborhood amenities, relocation services, and health-focused app developers. Get structured gym data that powers location-based services, market analysis, and consumer research without the manual effort.

How it works

1. The actor accepts a location string and constructs a search URL for Yellow Pages gym listings.
2. It uses CheerioCrawler to efficiently parse HTML listings without a full browser.
3. For each listing found, it extracts the gym name, address, rating, review count, and categories.
4. Pagination is followed automatically until the maximum result count is reached.
5. All results are pushed to the Apify dataset in a standardized format.
6. Concurrent requests are limited to avoid overloading the source website.
