## 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

## JustDial Business Scraper — Name, Phone, Address, No Login

Extract business listings from **JustDial**, India's largest local business directory, by **city + category**. Get verified business **names, resolved phone numbers, addresses, ratings, review counts and geo-coordinates** — structured, deduplicated, and ready for lead generation, market research, or CRM enrichment.

> ⚡ Part of a **69-scraper suite** trusted by **450+ developers** across **8,000+ runs** · **>99% run success** · **no login, no cookies, no ban risk**.

> 💸 **You're only charged for delivered results.** Empty searches, failed pages and duplicate listings are never billed.

### 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.

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` | Business name |
| `phone` | Primary phone number (resolved, not masked) |
| `address` | Full address string |
| `area` | Locality / area within the city |
| `city` | City |
| `category` | Business category |
| `rating` | JustDial star rating |
| `rating_count` | Total number of ratings / reviews |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | Geo-coordinates |
| `pincode` | PIN code |
| `verified` | Whether the listing is JustDial-verified |
| `url` | JustDial listing URL |

### Input

| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | Category / search term | `Restaurants`, `Gyms`, `Dentists`, `Interior Designers` |
| `city` | Indian city | `Mumbai`, `Bangalore`, `Hyderabad` |
| `maxResults` | Max businesses (1–1000) | `100` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Proxy — Indian residential recommended | — |

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "Interior Designers",
  "city": "Hyderabad",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" }
}
```

### Output sample

```json
{
  "name": "Sunrise Interiors",
  "phone": "+91 98xxxxxx21",
  "address": "12-3-456, Road No. 12, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad",
  "area": "Banjara Hills",
  "city": "Hyderabad",
  "category": "Interior Designers",
  "rating": 4.6,
  "rating_count": 214,
  "latitude": 17.4126,
  "longitude": 78.4482,
  "pincode": "500034",
  "verified": true,
  "url": "https://www.justdial.com/Hyderabad/Sunrise-Interiors"
}
```

**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

```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:

```bash
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](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules).

### 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.
