BuscJá Scraper - Brazil Business Leads (Telelistas)

📒 BuscJá Scraper - Brazil Business Leads (Telelistas)

Extract business leads from BuscJá, the Brazilian business directory formerly known as Telelistas. Search any category or business type in any city, neighborhood (bairro) or whole state, or all of Brazil. For each business you get its phone and WhatsApp in international format, website, street address, neighborhood, city, state and category. Turn on Business details to also get the postal code (CEP), map position, every phone and WhatsApp number, all its categories, services, payment methods, opening hours, photos, and Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X and TikTok links. You can run several searches and places at once, collect 1,000 businesses in about 5 seconds, and get everything past the site's 5,025-result limit per search. It can also run on a schedule and send you only new businesses.

✨ Why this scraper?

• Fast
  1,000 businesses in about 5 seconds, or 1,000 with business details in about 20 seconds.

• Every result, not the first page
  It reads every page of every search, up to the site's limit, then splits by neighborhood past it.

• Duplicates removed
  The site sometimes lists the same business several times under different IDs. You get it once.

• Phones ready to dial
  Every phone and WhatsApp number is in international format (+55...).

• Clean addresses
  Street, neighborhood, city, state and CEP are in separate fields, and the " em Bairro" the site adds to business names is removed.

• Clean, typed data
  Map positions are numbers, payment methods and days are in English, hours are in 24h format, and there are no HTML leftovers.

• Apify platform
  Schedule runs, get only new businesses, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there a BuscJá API? Do I need an API key?

BuscJá has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a BuscJá API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP.

Why do I get only 10 businesses?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

Is there a limit per search?

The site shows at most 5,025 businesses per search. Bigger city searches are also run by neighborhood, so there is no limit in practice.

Can I search a whole state or all of Brazil?

Yes. Type "SP" or "Minas Gerais", or leave places empty. Each city is searched in turn, capitals first, until Maximum results is reached.

Do old Telelistas links work?

Yes. telelistas.net links are read from BuscJá, the same site.

Few or no results

BuscJá searches in Portuguese, so try "advogados" instead of "lawyers". The log shows which categories a term matched, or says it searched the words as free text.

A place was skipped

The log says when the site doesn't know a place. Check the spelling, add the city to a neighborhood ("Centro, Campinas"), or use a state code ("SP").

Is this an official BuscJá tool?

No. It is independent and not affiliated with BuscJá. It reads only data BuscJá publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with BuscJá's terms and the laws that apply to you.
