Yelp Business Leads Scraper — Phone, Reviews & Contacts

Turn Yelp into a B2B lead list. Search by keyword + location (e.g. plumbers in Austin, TX) and export every business with the fields a sales team actually needs: name, phone, website, rating, review count, address, category, and hours. No Yelp account, no API key — paste a search and get a ready-to-call lead list.

Why this actor?

Most Yelp scrapers break the moment Yelp tightens its bot protection — that's why the field averages 3 stars and rivals routinely return zero results on a hot day. This actor reaches Yelp through a managed-access browser (a real, resilient browser that handles the protected target reliably), so it keeps returning leads when request-based scrapers get blocked.

• Built for lead-gen — phone + website + address per business, not just raw listings
• Reliable access to a protected target — managed browser handles the challenge layer; runs on your Apify account, no proxy key to supply
• parse_confidence per record — know exactly how complete each lead is before you import it
• Flat schema — drops straight into a CRM, spreadsheet, or dialer

What you need

Nothing but a search. No Yelp developer account, no API key, no proxy of your own — just enter what you'd type into Yelp:

• Search terms — e.g. plumbers, HVAC contractors, dentists
• Location — e.g. Austin, TX, New York, NY, 90210

…or paste direct Yelp business URLs for targeted lookups.

Input

Phone ships on every search result. Website comes from the business page — turn on includeDetails to capture it.

Pay-per-lead: you're billed per business returned. No subscription, no minimums — a 500-lead pull costs the same whether you run it once or split it across the week. Compute runs on your own Apify account.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Yelp API key or account? No. You supply nothing but a search term and location. The actor reaches Yelp's public business pages for you.

Will it keep working when Yelp blocks other scrapers? That's the whole point. The actor uses a managed-access browser that handles Yelp's protection layer, so it stays reliable on days when request-based scrapers return nothing.

How do I get the website / contact field? Turn on includeDetails. Phone ships on every result; website lives on the business page, which includeDetails fetches.

What does parse_confidence mean? A 0.0–1.0 score per record. 1.0 means every expected field was populated; a lower score flags a lead with something missing (e.g. no phone), so you can filter before importing.

Integrations

Built for lead-gen teams and local-market researchers — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

• n8n / Make / Zapier — trigger a run or pipe every new lead into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: n8n, Make, Zapier.
• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push leads straight into your pipeline (docs).
• MCP server — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client so an AI agent can pull leads mid-conversation (guide).
• API & SDKs — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
