🔎 Why scrape Justdial for Indian B2B leads?

Justdial is the backbone of local commerce discovery in India, indexing tens of millions of SMBs, clinics, restaurants, manufacturers, wholesalers, contractors, salons, CA firms, and service providers across every Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 city. Every listing carries the exact data points a sales, marketing, or market-intelligence team needs: a reachable phone number, a complete street address with pincode, precise latitude/longitude, category tags, and customer ratings & review counts.

Collecting Justdial data manually is slow and frustrating: search pages show only 10 results at a time, duplicate promoted listings reappear across pages, and ordinary requests from outside India receive empty pages. Copy-pasting hundreds of businesses into Excel takes hours and cannot be automated.

This Justdial data extractor turns Justdial into a clean, on-demand lead database:

• 🎯 B2B lead generation & outbound sales — build targeted call and WhatsApp lists by category and city in minutes.
• 📞 Telemarketing & inside sales pipelines — feed verified business phone numbers (phone) and ratings directly into your dialer or CRM.
• 🗺️ Geospatial & retail territory mapping — plot every competitor, supplier, or franchise prospect using exact lat, lng, area, and pincode fields.
• 🏢 CRM hygiene & B2B data enrichment — append verified addresses, pincodes, ratings, and review volumes to existing Indian company lists.
• ⭐ Reputation & local SEO benchmarking — identify high-volume businesses with low ratings or unverified profiles that need digital marketing or reputation management services.
• 📊 Market sizing & competitive intelligence — measure business density and review distribution across Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and beyond.

✨ What this Justdial scraper does

• ✅ Search any category in any Indian city — enter one or multiple keywords in searchTerms (e.g., ["Restaurants", "Cafes", "Cloud Kitchens"]) and a target city (e.g., "Mumbai"), or paste ready-made URLs into startUrls.
• ✅ 100% direct phone number extraction — captures the business contact number (phone) directly from Justdial's structured listing payload, plus whatsapp and website whenever listed.
• ✅ Complete location & geospatial data — extracts address, area (neighborhood/locality), city, pincode, and numeric lat / lng coordinates on virtually every record.
• ✅ Automatic deep pagination (maxPagesPerSearch: 0) — walks result pages automatically until the search is exhausted or your maxItems target is met, stopping early if consecutive pages yield no new unique businesses.
• ✅ Unlocked 1,000+ business scaling — because a single Justdial (city, category) search typically contains ~50–60 unique businesses after deduplication, requesting a large maxItems (e.g., 500 or 1,000+) automatically expands across major Indian cities and related categories so your run reaches 1,000+ unique leads seamlessly.
• ✅ Global deduplication by docid — Justdial frequently repeats sponsored businesses across pages; our scraper filters every record through a run-wide docid set so you never pay for or export duplicate rows.

🔁 Pagination & scaling to 1,000+ businesses

Justdial returns roughly 10 listings per page, and a single (city, category) search typically exposes up to 10 pages (~100 raw rows, which deduplicate to ~50–55 unique businesses after removing repeated promoted cards).

To make both small previews and large 1,000+ lead builds effortless:

1. Auto page walking (maxPagesPerSearch: 0): By default, maxPagesPerSearch is 0 (auto), meaning the scraper walks every available page for each search term and moves on automatically as soon as Justdial stops returning new unique businesses.
2. Automatic multi-city & multi-category expansion for 1,000+ runs: When you set maxItems above 50 (e.g. maxItems: 1000) without locking startUrls, the scraper first exhausts your specified (city, searchTerms) combinations, then automatically expands your search terms across India's top 20 metropolitan cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Jaipur, Surat, Lucknow, etc.) and top commercial categories until your exact maxItems target is reached.

---

⚙️ How to use & automate

1. Open the Justdial Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter your target categories in searchTerms (e.g. ["Dentists", "Orthodontists"]) and set your target city (e.g. "Delhi").
3. Set your limit: Keep maxItems: 50 for a quick 25-second preview, or raise it to 500 or 1,000+ for bulk lead generation.
4. Leave Proxy on Indian Residential (IN) and click Start.
5. Export your leads: Download as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or connect directly to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Make, Zapier, or n8n via the Apify API.

API example (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

    "city": "Mumbai",
    "maxItems": 200,
    "maxPagesPerSearch": 0,

💡 Best practices & tips

• 🇮🇳 Never disable the Indian Residential proxy: Justdial blocks datacenter IPs and non-Indian traffic with a 14-byte empty response. The prefilled RESIDENTIAL + IN proxy uses compact JSON endpoints (~0.5 MB per 50 leads), keeping residential proxy transfer costs ultra-low.
• 🎯 Use specific sub-categories for targeted single-city lists: Because Justdial caps any single search query at ~55 unique businesses, entering 10 specific sub-categories (e.g., "Dental Clinics", "Orthodontists", "Pediatric Dentists", "Dental Implant Centres") in one city yields hundreds of businesses from that exact city.
• 📞 Filter by isPaid and verified: Businesses with isPaid: true are actively spending money on local advertising—making them prime B2B prospects for marketing, SaaS, and financial services.

---

⚠️ Honest limitations

• Single-search cap on Justdial: Justdial's backend serves at most ~100 raw rows (~50–55 unique businesses) for any single (city, keyword) query. To collect 500–1,000+ businesses within a single city, pass multiple related keywords in searchTerms; otherwise, the scraper automatically expands across additional Indian cities to fulfill your maxItems target.
• Indian Residential proxy required: Runs using datacenter proxies or non-IN countries will not receive listing data from Justdial.

---

❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Do I need a Justdial login, cookies, or API key? No. The Actor extracts public directory listings without any account or authentication.

Are phone numbers real and unmasked? Yes. Every listing returns the contact phone number provided by Justdial's data payload, achieving ~98–100% phone coverage across runs.

How fast is the scraper and how much proxy data does it use? Instead of loading heavy images and full browser pages, this scraper queries Justdial's compact structured data endpoint over HTTP. A 50-business run finishes in ~20–35 seconds and consumes less than 1 MB of residential proxy traffic.

How do I scrape 1,000+ businesses in a single run? Set maxItems: 1000 (and leave maxPagesPerSearch: 0). You can either supply 15–20 category keywords in searchTerms, or let the scraper automatically expand your search across top Indian cities and categories until 1,000 unique businesses are saved.

How does deduplication work? Every Justdial business has a permanent docid (e.g., 022PXX22.XX22.140804130028.J6U9). The Actor maintains a run-wide set of seen docid values so promoted listings that repeat on every page or across overlapping categories are saved only once.

Can I scrape specific Justdial URLs from my browser? Yes. Copy any search URL from Justdial (such as https://www.justdial.com/Pune/Software-Companies) and paste it into startUrls.

📊 Lead scoring & segmentation recipe (Python / Pandas)

After exporting your Justdial dataset, you can segment high-intent prospects (for example, established businesses with strong review volume that still lack a website) in seconds:

import pandas as pd

# Load exported Justdial leads from JSON or CSV
df = pd.read_json("justdial_leads.json")

# 1. High-value digital agency prospects:
#    Verified or active businesses (50+ reviews) that have NO website listed
no_website_leads = df[
    (df["phone"].notna())
    & (df["totalReviews"].fillna(0) >= 50)
    & (df["website"].isna())
].sort_values("totalReviews", ascending=False)

print(f"Found {len(no_website_leads)} high-review businesses without a website:")
print(no_website_leads[["name", "phone", "area", "city", "rating", "totalReviews"]].head(15))

# 2. Active advertisers (isPaid == True) by locality / pincode
paid_by_area = (
    df[df["isPaid"] == True]
    .groupby(["city", "area", "pincode"])
    .size()
    .reset_index(name="paid_businesses")
    .sort_values("paid_businesses", ascending=False)
)
print(paid_by_area.head(10))

Equivalent SQL query for CRM ingestion

SELECT
    docid,
    name,
    phone,
    whatsapp,
    category,
    area,
    city,
    pincode,
    rating,
    totalReviews,
    verified,
    isPaid
FROM justdial_businesses
WHERE phone IS NOT NULL
  AND verified = TRUE
ORDER BY totalReviews DESC, rating DESC;
