Supported Yellow Pages directories

Which Yellow Pages and business directories Yellow Pages Scraper extracts from, how the regional editions map to them, and how to pick the right one for your market.

Which directories can Yellow Pages Scraper extract from?

It targets Yellow Pages and comparable business directories across many countries. Regional editions cover the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, plus an India edition and a Global edition that spans multiple regions. You choose the edition whose directories match the market you sell into.

The idea is that each edition already knows the structure of its region’s directories, so you do not configure anything — you enter a keyword and location and it collects the listings. If you work across several markets, the Global edition covers multiple regions in one licence. The table below maps each edition to the region and directories it is built for.

Editions and the directories they cover

Editions are organised by region. The North American editions target the main US and Canadian Yellow Pages directories; the other editions target the equivalent business directories for their country or region; and the Global edition spans multiple regions in a single licence.

Edition Region Directories it targets
USA United States The main US Yellow Pages directory (Yellowpages.com)
Canada Canada The main Canadian Yellow Pages directory (Yellowpages.ca)
USA & Canada North America Both the US and Canadian Yellow Pages directories
UK United Kingdom The equivalent UK business directory listings
Australia Australia The equivalent Australian business directory listings
New Zealand New Zealand The equivalent New Zealand business directory listings
Australia & New Zealand Australasia Both the Australian and New Zealand directory listings
Europe Europe Equivalent national business directories across Europe
India (and India & USA) India Indian business directory listings, alone or paired with the US
Global All regions Directories across multiple countries in one licence

For the current list of editions and prices, see the pricing & editions page. If you are not sure which edition matches the directories you need, contact us before you buy.

Does it work with Yellowpages.com and Yellowpages.ca?

Yes. The North American editions target the main US and Canadian Yellow Pages directories — Yellowpages.com and Yellowpages.ca — so you can build lead lists from the two largest directories on the continent. Other editions target the equivalent Yellow Pages directories for their own region.

Those two directories are where most North American businesses list their contact details, which is why the USA, Canada and combined USA & Canada editions are among the most popular. Enter a keyword and a city, and the scraper collects the matching business listings from the directory for that edition.

Which edition do you need?

Choose the edition for the country or region whose directories you want to extract — for example the UK edition for UK directories, or the USA & Canada edition for North America. If you need to build lists in several markets, the Global edition covers multiple regions in one licence.

The simplest way to decide is to start from where your customers are. If you sell only in one country, buy that country’s edition; if you sell across a continent or worldwide, the combined or Global editions save you buying several. The Supported countries page lists the coverage country by country.

Can it handle other business directories?

It is built for Yellow Pages-style business directories. If you need a specific directory, portal or website that the standard editions do not cover, Management-Ware can build a custom extraction script tailored to that source and the fields you want. Contact the team with the details for a quote.

Between the regional editions and the option of a custom scraper script, most directory-data needs are covered. And for lead sources beyond directories, the sister tools — Google Maps Contact Extractor and Yelp Data Scraper — collect business data from Maps and Yelp respectively.

What fields does it pull from a directory listing?

From each listing it captures the business name, postal address, phone number, fax number, email address and website — whatever that directory publishes. Each field goes into its own column so the export is a structured, ready-to-use list rather than raw text.

  • Business name
  • Postal address
  • Phone and fax number
  • Email address (where published)
  • Website
