## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Yellow Pages Local Business Leads Scraper 📇

Generate clean **local business leads** from Yellow Pages — name, phone, full address, website, categories, rating, review count, and years in business — by keyword and location.

Perfect for lead generation, sales prospecting, local SEO, market mapping, and building B2B contact lists.

### What it does

- Search by **what** (business type/keyword) × **where** (city/state/ZIP).
- Returns one row per business with phone, address, and website — ready for outreach.
- Auto-paginates up to your per-search limit.

### Input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["plumber", "electrician"],
  "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Dallas, TX"],
  "maxResultsPerSearch": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

Each term is combined with each location. For precise control, use `searches`:

```json
{ "searches": [{ "terms": "dentist", "location": "Miami, FL" }] }
```

### Output (one row per business)

```json
{
  "type": "business",
  "search_terms": "plumber",
  "search_location": "Austin, TX",
  "name": "ABC Plumbing",
  "phone": "(512) 555-0123",
  "street_address": "123 Main St",
  "locality": "Austin, TX 78701",
  "website": "https://abcplumbing.com",
  "categories": ["Plumbers", "Water Heaters"],
  "rating": 4.5,
  "review_count": "37",
  "years_in_business": "18",
  "yellowpages_url": "https://www.yellowpages.com/..."
}
```

### Notes

- Reads only public Yellow Pages listing pages — no login.
- A reliable, browser-free alternative for local-business lead lists.
- Proxy rotates IPs; the account running the Actor pays for proxy.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Business types or keywords, e.g. plumber, dentist, restaurant.

Locations, e.g. 'Austin, TX', '90210'. Each term is combined with each location.

## `searches` (type: `array`):

Optional explicit pairs: \[{ "terms": "dentist", "location": "Miami, FL" }]. Overrides the cartesian combination above.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel requests.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy to rotate IPs. The account running the Actor pays for proxy usage.

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchTerms": [
