## 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 Business Scraper (No API Key)

Scrape Yellow Pages business listings into a clean, structured lead list — no API key, no login. Search any category and location (or paste Yellow Pages search URLs) and export every local business with its **name, phone number, full address (street, city, state/region, ZIP, country), rating, review count, opening hours, and profile URL**. Built for lead generation, sales prospecting, and local business data collection, this Yellow Pages scraper delivers bulk contact details for developers, sales teams, marketers, analysts, and AI/RAG pipelines — pay per result, no subscription.

Reliability comes from Chrome TLS impersonation (curl\_cffi) over residential US proxies with per-request session and fingerprint rotation, so the scraper clears anti-bot walls and returns consistent results.

### ⚡ Quick start

Paste this into the Actor's **Input** (JSON view) and hit **Start**:

```json
{
  "searchTerm": "plumbers",
  "location": "Los Angeles, CA",
  "maxResults": 50

```

Each result row looks like:

```json
{

  "phone": "(213) 555-0142",
  "street": "515 W 7th St",
  "city": "Los Angeles",
