Why this scraper

JustDial hides phone numbers behind JavaScript and protects the site with Akamai Bot Manager, which blocks datacenter IPs by reputation. This actor handles both — it resolves the real phone numbers and rotates Indian residential IPs — so every run returns clean, complete records instead of masked or empty fields.

One more row at the end of every run: every run also ends with a final _type: "info" record — informational only, never billed — with a two-line nudge: how to put this actor on an automatic schedule (see "Run on a schedule" below), and a link to leave a Store review if it saved you time.

Use cases

• Local lead generation — build calling / WhatsApp lists of businesses by city and category.
• Market research — map competitor density, ratings and category coverage across Indian cities.
• CRM enrichment — append phone, address and geo-coordinates to existing business records.
• Sales territory planning — geo-coded listings for route and coverage planning.

Run it from Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("themineworks/justdial-business").call(run_input={
    "searchQuery": "Gyms",
    "city": "Pune",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": True, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN"},
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["name"], row["phone"], row["rating"])

🔁 Run on a schedule

Turn this from a one-off pull into a standing feed with Apify's built-in Schedules — no code, no cron server of your own.

1. Run the actor once with the input you want repeated, then click Save as a task (top of the run form) — this keeps your exact input attached for every future run.
2. In the Apify Console, go to Schedules (left sidebar) → Create new.
3. Name it, set your timezone, and pick a frequency — a preset (hourly / daily / weekly) or a custom cron expression (e.g. 0 6 * * * for daily at 6am).
4. Under Actors or tasks to run, add the task you saved in step 1.
5. Save. From then on it runs unattended on your schedule, billed the same pay-per-business way as a manual run — nothing is charged just for the schedule existing.

Prefer to automate the setup itself? Same thing via the API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/schedules?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "justdial-business-daily",
    "cronExpression": "0 6 * * *",
    "isEnabled": true,
    "actions": [{ "type": "RUN_ACTOR", "actorId": "themineworks/justdial-business" }]
  }'

Full options — time zones, run notifications, pausing a schedule — are in Apify's Schedules documentation.

FAQ

Do I need a JustDial login or API key? No. The actor runs without any login, password or cookies.

Are the phone numbers real or masked? Real. Phone numbers are resolved from JustDial's protected fields, not the masked display value.

Why is an Indian residential proxy recommended? JustDial uses Akamai Bot Manager and blocks datacenter IPs by reputation. Indian residential IPs return reliable, complete results.

Will I be charged for empty or failed runs? No. You pay only for delivered business records — empty searches, failed pages and duplicates are never billed.
