Justdial Business Leads Scraper

An Apify actor that scrapes structured business listings from JustDial based on search terms and location. It's designed for lead generation, market research, and building contact lists.

Overview

This actor automates data extraction from JustDial, a major Indian business directory. You provide a search query and location, and it returns a dataset of businesses with details like name, phone, address, and rating. It handles proxy rotation and dynamic content to ensure reliable scraping.

Key Features

• Targeted Scraping: Fetches listings based on custom search and location parameters.
• Structured Data: Extracts key business fields including contact details, address, ratings, and images.
• Built-in Proxy Management: Uses Apify Proxy with residential IPs (default set to India) to avoid blocks and access location-specific content.
• Flexible Input: Can be run with simple search terms or by providing direct startUrls to specific JustDial pages.
• Scalable Configuration: Supports concurrency controls, delays, retries, and request timeouts for large-scale runs.
• Multiple Output Formats: Results are available for download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
