Yellow Pages UAE Scraper

Scrape structured business listings from Yellow Pages UAE (yellowpages.ae) for lead generation, market research, and data collection. Priced at $4.00 per 1,000 saved listings.

Overview

This actor extracts public business data from Yellow Pages UAE. It's designed for developers and analysts who need to build datasets of local companies, service providers, and vendors across all Emirates without manual work. Output is structured and ready for export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Key Features

• Flexible Targeting: Search by keyword and district, or directly by providing Yellow Pages search/category URLs.
• Scalable: Configure a high limit (default 50,000) for large-scale runs.
• Structured Data: Extracts consistent fields like business name, contact details, address, and category.
• Cost-Efficient: Uses Apify Residential proxy by default; you only pay for successfully saved listings.

How to Use

Configure the actor via the Input tab using a JSON object. There are two primary modes:

1. Scrape by Query

Use a keyword search, optionally narrowed by district.

{
  "query": "coffee shop",
  "district": "Dubai",
  "limit": 300
}

2. Scrape by URL

Provide direct URLs from Yellow Pages UAE.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.yellowpages.ae/search/barber-shop/dubai?field=bkeyword"
  ],
  "limit": 150
}

Input Parameters

• query (string): Search keyword (e.g., "law firm", "plumber").
• district (string, default: "United Arab Emirates"): Filter results to a specific Emirate/zone.
• startUrls (array of strings): List of Yellow Pages UAE URLs to scrape directly.
• limit (integer, default: 50000): Maximum number of listings to collect.
• proxyConfiguration (object): Defaults to { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }. Modify only for custom proxy needs.

Tips for Best Results

1. Start with a small limit to test your query or URL before a full run.
2. Use specific district filters to break large projects into batches and avoid rate limits.
3. Check the dataset preview in Apify to verify field completeness before exporting.
