How to Scrape Yellow Pages: Business Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers (Code & No Code)

Introduction

Yellow Pages is a online directory that helps you connect instantly with great local businesses.
You can find over 20 million business listings, browse menus, search by cuisine, book a table, see showtimes, find cheap gas, and navigate with maps.

In this article, you will read about the easiest way to scrape Yellow Pages data with Page2API.

You will find code examples for Ruby, Python, PHP, NodeJS, cURL, and a No-Code solution that will import Yellow Pages data into Google Sheets.

You can scrape data from Yellow Pages, that will contain such information as business names, phone numbers, addresses, ratings, and more.

In this article, we will learn how to:

Scrape Yellow Pages data
Export Yellow Pages data to Google Sheets

Prerequisites

To start scraping Yellow Pages, you will need the following things:

A Page2API account
A category and a location, in which we want to search for listings. Let's search for 'Restaurants, Miami'.

How to scrape Yellow Pages data

First, we need to open the Yellow Pages search page and set the filters we need.

This will change the URL to something similar to:

  
    https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami

The page we see must look similar to the following one:

From the search page, we will scrape the following attributes:

Title
URL
Website
Phone
Street
Locality
Categories
Snippet
Internal rating
Internal rating count
Tripadvisor rating
Tripadvisor rating count

Now, let's define the selectors for each attribute.

  
    /* Parent: */
    div.result

    /* Title: */
    .business-name

    /* URL: */
    .business-name

    /* Website: */
    .track-visit-website

    /* Phone: */
    .phone

    /* Street: */
    .street-address

    /* Locality: */
    .locality

    /* Categories: */
    .categories a

    /* Snippet: */
    .snippet

    /* Internal rating: */
    .rating .result-rating

    /* Internal rating count: */
    .rating .count

    /* Tripadvisor rating: */
    .ta-rating

    /* Tripadvisor rating count: */
    .ta-count

In order to collect all the ratings - we must run the JS snippet below:

  
    /* convert tripadvisor rating value */

    document.querySelectorAll(".ta-rating").forEach(function(e) {
      let ta_rating = e.attributes.class.value.trim().split(/\s+/).reverse()[0].replace("ta-", "").replace("-", ".");
      e.dataset.ta_rating = ta_rating;
    });


    /* convert tripadvisor rating count */

    document.querySelectorAll(".ta-count").forEach(function(e) {
      let ta_count = e.textContent.replace(/[\(\)]+/g, "");
      e.dataset.ta_count = ta_count;
    });

    /* convert internal rating value */

    document.querySelectorAll(".rating .result-rating").forEach(function(e) {
      let internal_rating_word = e.attributes.class.value.replace("result-rating", "").trim().replace(" ", "-");
      let rating_mapping = {
        "one": 1, "one-half": 1.5, "two": 2, "two-half": 2.5, "three": 3, "three-half": 3.5, "four": 4, "four-half": 4.5, "five": 5
      }
      e.dataset.internal_rating = rating_mapping[internal_rating_word];
    });


    /* convert internal rating count */

    document.querySelectorAll(".rating .count").forEach(function(e) {
      let extra_count = e.textContent.replace(/[\(\)]+/g, "");
      e.dataset.internal_rating_count = extra_count;
    });

Let's convert that snippet to base64:

Now, let's handle the pagination.

If we take a look at the URL structure when switching between pages, we see that they look like this:

  
    // Page 1
    https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami&page=1

    // Page 2
    https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami&page=2

    // Page 3
    https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami&page=3

This looks like a great scenario to use the batch scraping approach.

Now let's build the request that will scrape all listings that the search page returned.

The following examples will show how to scrape 3 pages of listings from Yellowpages.com

The payload for our scraping request will be:

  
    {
      "api_key": "YOUR_PAGE2API_KEY",
      "batch": {
        "urls": "https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami&page=[1, 3, 1]",
        "concurrency": 1,
        "merge_results": true

      "real_browser": true,

        { "execute": "parse" }
      ],
      "parse": {
        "listings": [
          {
            "_parent": "div.result",
            "title": ".business-name >> text",
            "url": ".business-name >> href",
            "phone": ".phone >> text",
            "street": ".street-address >> text",
            "locality": ".locality >> text",
            "website": ".track-visit-website >> href",
            "categories": [".categories a >> text"],
            "snippet": ".snippet >> text",
            "internal_rating": ".rating .result-rating >> data-internal_rating",
            "internal_rating_count": ".rating .count >> data-internal_rating_count",
            "tripadvisor_rating": ".ta-rating >> data-ta_rating",

          }
        ]
      }
    }

In case we don't need the ratings - the payload for our scraping request will be:

  
    {
      "api_key": "YOUR_PAGE2API_KEY",
      "batch": {
        "urls": "https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami&page=[1, 3, 1]",
        "concurrency": 1,
        "merge_results": true
      },
      "parse": {
        "listings": [
          {
            "_parent": "div.result",
            "title": ".business-name >> text",
            "url": ".business-name >> href",
            "phone": ".phone >> text",
            "street": ".street-address >> text",
            "locality": ".locality >> text",
            "website": ".track-visit-website >> href",
            "categories": [".categories a >> text"],
            "snippet": ".snippet >> text"
          }
        ]
      }
    }

Worth mentioning: due to the fact that the real browser is not being used - the payload above will run few times faster and consume less credits.

How to export Yellow Pages data to Google Sheets

In order to be able to export our Yellow Pages listings to a Google Spreadsheet we will need to slightly modify our request to receive the data in CSV format instead of JSON.

According to the documentation, we need to add the following parameters to our payload:

  
    "raw": {
      "key": "listings", "format": "csv"
    }

Now our payload will look like:

{ "api_key": "YOUR_PAGE2API_KEY", "batch": { "urls": [ "https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=restaurants&geo_location_terms=Miami&page=1" ], "concurrency": 1, "merge_results": true }, "real_browser": true, "scenario": [ { "wait": 5 }, { "execute_js": "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" }, { "execute": "parse" } ], "parse": { "listings": [ { "_parent": "div.result", "title": ".business-name >> text", "phone": ".phone >> text", "street": ".street-address >> text", "locality": ".locality >> text", "website": ".track-visit-website >> href", "categories": [".categories a >> text"], "internal_rating": ".rating .result-rating >> data-internal_rating", "internal_rating_count": ".rating .count >> data-internal_rating_count", "tripadvisor_rating": ".ta-rating >> data-ta_rating", "tripadvisor_rating_count": ".ta-count >> data-ta_count", "snippet": ".snippet >> text", "details_url": ".business-name >> href" } ] }, "raw": { "key": "listings", "format": "csv" } }

Now, edit the payload above if needed, and press Encode →

Encode

The URL with encoded payload will be:

  Press 'Encode'

Note: If you are reading this article being logged in - you can copy the link above since it will already have your api_key in the encoded payload.

The final part is adding the IMPORTDATA function, and we are ready to import our Yellow Pages listings into a Google Spreadsheet.

  Press 'Encode'

The result must look like the following one:
