JustDial Business Search Scraper

An Apify actor that scrapes detailed business listings from JustDial search pages. It uses Puppeteer for reliable data extraction.

Overview

This actor takes one or more JustDial search URLs, visits each business listing page, and extracts structured data. It's designed for lead generation, market research, and data aggregation. A proxy (preferably residential Indian IPs) is required to avoid blocking.

Key Features

• Business Details: Name, unique ID (docid), business type, category hierarchy, and vertical classification.
• Location Data: Full address, city, area, locality, pincode, and geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude).
• Contact Info: Phone numbers, WhatsApp numbers, website URLs, and email addresses.
• Ratings & Reviews: Overall rating, total review count, breakdowns by category (e.g., service, food), and rating tags.
• Operational Info: Opening hours, current open/closed status, and yearly establishment date.
• Media & SEO: Thumbnails, photo galleries, logos, services offered, amenities, and other metadata.
• Performance Metrics: Lead response rates, enquiry counts, average response time, and search ranking/position.
