💰 Pricing

You pay $2.50 per 1,000 businesses saved ($0.0025 each), the same price with or without business-page details. Platform usage (compute and Australian residential proxy traffic) is billed on top at the normal rates and is small. Example: 1,000 businesses with full details ≈ $2.50 in result fees plus a few tens of cents of usage. Set a maximum total charge on the run and the scraper stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Yellow Pages Australia? The scraper only reads public business listings that anyone can see without logging in. Check the site's terms and Australian rules (for example the Spam Act for cold email) before you use the data.

Do I need an account, cookies or my own proxy? No. The site blocks datacenter IPs, so the run uses an Australian residential proxy by default.

How many results can I get? The site shows at most 3,000 businesses (100 pages) per search. For more, split the search by suburb, postcode or a narrower keyword; duplicates across searches are removed.

Why is a field empty? Businesses fill in their own listings. Many do not list an email, ABN, hours or a website; those fields are then empty or null.

Can I make it faster or cheaper? Turn off Open business pages to get only what the search page shows (name, phone, address, rating, years in business, categories). You lose email, ABN, website, coordinates and full hours.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule the actor in the console, or start runs and download the dataset through the API in JSON, CSV or Excel.
