🔎 Why scrape Booksy?

Booksy powers online appointment scheduling for hundreds of thousands of independent beauty, grooming, and wellness businesses across the United States — barbershops, hair salons, nail bars, med-spas, lash and brow studios, massage therapists, waxing specialists, estheticians, and tattoo artists. Every listing on Booksy represents an active, revenue-generating local business with verified customer reviews, a physical or mobile service area, and digital payment adoption.

Collecting this B2B intelligence manually is tedious. Booksy displays only 20 businesses per page and spreads state-level and metro-level directories across hundreds of paginated views. Copy-pasting business names, street addresses, GPS coordinates, and review counts by hand simply cannot scale when building regional or nationwide prospect lists.

This Booksy data extractor automates the entire workflow. Choose a service category and a US state from the dropdowns — or paste any city-level Booksy search URL — and export a clean, deduplicated table ready for CRM enrichment, territory mapping, or market analysis.

Common reasons teams scrape Booksy:

• 💈 Build Targeted B2B Lead Lists — source active barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, and spas for wholesale beauty supplies, professional cosmetics, equipment financing, or commercial insurance.
• 💳 SaaS, POS & FinTech Prospecting — segment businesses by isPromoted, acceptsBooksyPay, and reviewsCount to identify high-volume merchants paying for growth tools.
• 🏢 Identify Salon-Suite Tenants (venueName) — spot independent stylists operating inside franchise studio suites (e.g., Sola Salon Studios, Phenix Salon Suites, Salons by JC).
• 🗺️ Competitor Density & Site Selection — map every competitor by exact latitude and longitude before opening a new salon, barbershop, or med-spa location.
• ⭐ Reputation & Market Benchmarking — analyze average star ratings (rating) and customer review volume (reviewsCount) across cities and states.
• 🚐 Mobile vs. Brick-and-Mortar Segmentation — filter by travelingService: true to separate mobile beauty professionals from fixed storefronts.

• ✅ No-Code Service & State Dropdowns — pick from 13 beauty & wellness categories (or All services) and all 50 US states + DC (or All states nationwide sample) without looking up location codes.
• ✅ Advanced City URL Mode (startUrls) — paste any Booksy search URL from your browser (e.g., https://booksy.com/en-us/s/hair-salon/18229_chicago) to target a specific city, metro area, or neighborhood.

• ✅ Global Deduplication — deduplicates every record by businessId across all pages and multiple startUrls, guaranteeing 0% duplicate businesses in your dataset.
• ✅ Rich Reputation Metrics — captures exact decimal rating (e.g., 4.99), rounded reviewsStars (5), and total reviewsCount (147).
• ✅ Full Location & Geospatial Coordinates — outputs address (street, city, ZIP), city, and WGS84 latitude / longitude.
• ✅ Salon-Suite & Commercial Flags — extracts venueName (umbrella studio/suite brand), isPromoted, acceptsBooksyPay, travelingService, bestOfBooksy, hasOnlineBooking, and staffCount.
• ✅ Canonical Business Profile Links — constructs the direct https://booksy.com/en-us/... profile URL for every business.

4. Multi-Unit Franchise & Private Equity Roll-Up Screening

Private equity groups, MSOs (Management Services Organizations), and multi-unit salon consolidators use Booksy's review volume (reviewsCount), star score (rating), and city/address data to identify independent local market leaders with strong customer retention across high-growth states like Florida, Texas, California, North Carolina, and Georgia.

5. Local SEO, Reputation Management & Web Design Prospecting

🔁 Pagination & 1,000+ scale

• 20 Businesses per Page, Up to 500 Pages per Search — each search query paginates up to Booksy's 500-page (~10,000-business) ceiling, stopping automatically when your maxItems cap is reached or no further pages exist.
• Multi-State & Multi-Category Expansion for 1,000+ Runs — when maxItems > 100 is requested on a nationwide sample run (or an unfiltered state search), the scraper automatically expands across state×service combinations and removes per-URL sample caps so 1,000+ runs never stall early.
• Global Cross-URL Deduplication — a global seen set tracks every businessId across all URLs, states, and categories, ensuring 0% duplicates even when combining overlapping searches.

⚙️ How to use (Console & API)

In Apify Console

1. Open Booksy Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Select a Service / category (e.g., Barber, Hair salon, Nail salon) and a Location (US state) — or paste city search URLs in Advanced: Booksy search URLs.
3. Set Max businesses (60 for a quick test, 1000 for a deep pull, or 0 for unlimited).
4. Click Start and export your leads to CSV, Excel, or JSON.

Via Apify API (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "service": "barber",
    "location": "10009_florida",
    "maxItems": 1000,
}

run = client.actor("haketa/booksy-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for biz in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{biz['name']} ({biz['city']}) — ⭐ {biz['rating']} ({biz['reviewsCount']} reviews)")

Via Apify API (JavaScript / Node.js)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('haketa/booksy-scraper').call({
    service: 'hair-salon',
    location: '10043_texas',
    maxItems: 500,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Collected ${items.length} unique Booksy businesses.`);

💡 Pro tips for beauty & wellness lead generation

• Target a single city with startUrls — search your target city on booksy.com/en-us (e.g., Austin, Atlanta, Phoenix, Seattle), copy the URL from your browser's address bar (https://booksy.com/en-us/s/...), and paste it into startUrls.
• Parse ZIP codes from address — Booksy formats US addresses as "Street, City, ZIP" (e.g., "2676 bechelli lane, Redding, 96002"). A simple regex (/\b\d{5}\b$/) extracts the 5-digit US ZIP code for territory assignment.
• Combine venueName with address — multiple stylists sharing the same venueName and address are booth renters inside a salon suite, whereas businesses with venueName: null are typically standalone storefronts.

---

⚠️ Honest limitations

• US Market (booksy.com/en-us) — the built-in state dropdown and endpoint target Booksy's United States directory.
• Search-Feed Scope — to extract 500–1,000+ businesses in seconds at minimal cost, the actor reads Booksy's structured directory feed rather than visiting each business's individual profile page. Fields like phone number or full price menus (which require per-profile requests) are not included, and compact search-feed flags (staffCount, bestOfBooksy, hasOnlineBooking) often report default 0/false values in the bulk feed.

❓ FAQ

How many businesses can I scrape in a single run?

A single state or metro search on Booksy can return up to 10,000 businesses (500 pages × 20 per page), and multi-URL or nationwide runs scale even higher. Set maxItems: 1000 (or 0 for unlimited) to collect full directories.

How fast is the Booksy Scraper?

Because it uses pure HTTP requests against structured directory pages without launching a heavy browser, collecting 60–100 businesses typically takes 5–15 seconds, and 500–1,000 businesses takes 30–90 seconds.

Do I need a Booksy account or API key?

No. All extracted records come from public Booksy directory listings. No login or credentials are required.

Can I scrape a specific city instead of a whole US state?

Yes! Search for any city or neighborhood on booksy.com, copy the URL from your browser (e.g., https://booksy.com/en-us/s/nail-salon/18229_chicago), and paste it into startUrls.

What export formats are supported?

You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), HTML, XML, or RSS, or push them into HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or n8n via the Apify API.

Can I run a nationwide sample across multiple states and services?

Yes. Leave both service and location set to their default ("" = All services / Nationwide sample). On a quick run (maxItems <= 100), the scraper collects a balanced sample across top US states and beauty categories; when you set maxItems: 1000+, it automatically expands across state×service combinations to deliver a large, deduplicated national dataset.

How does deduplication work when I provide multiple startUrls?

Every business on Booksy has a unique numeric businessId. The scraper tracks all seen business IDs across the entire run in memory, so even if two city searches or service categories overlap, each business appears only once in your output dataset.

Why are hasOnlineBooking, bestOfBooksy, or staffCount sometimes false or 0?

Those fields are passed through directly from Booksy's compact directory search feed, where Booksy frequently omits detailed per-profile arrays to keep search responses lightweight. Core fields (businessId, name, category, rating, reviewsCount, address, city, latitude, longitude, imageUrl, url, isPromoted) are populated with ~97–100% coverage.
