FAQ
What search terms can I use? Any business category: plumber, dentist, lawyer, pizza, auto repair, electrician, HVAC, and so on. Use the same terms you would type into the Yellow Pages search box.
How many results are on each page?
Yellow Pages shows up to 30 listings per page. Set maxPages to 3 to get up to 90 listings, or increase maxItems to cap the total.
Will this work for any US city?
Yes. Enter the city and state in the location field (e.g. Chicago, IL or Miami, FL). Yellow Pages covers all US cities and many Canadian locations.
What if a field is missing for some listings?
Not every listing has a website, rating, or years-in-business entry. Missing fields return null. The error field is only set if the listing failed to parse.
Can I run multiple searches at once? Run the actor multiple times with different search terms and locations. Use the Apify scheduler to run on a recurring basis.
