Cost math

Priced at $0.0025 per business with details. 10 business with detailss ≈ $0.03, 100 ≈ $0.25, 1,000 ≈ $2.50. For now, runs need Apify's residential proxy, which the free plan does not include, so use a paid Apify plan. Failed runs are not charged.

FAQ

How much does the local-ch-scraper cost?

$2.50 / 1,000 business with details, billed per result on Apify. For now, runs need Apify's residential proxy, which the free plan does not include, so use a paid Apify plan. Failed runs are not charged.

What fields does it return?

42 fields per result. Full field catalog is listed in the 'What you can scrape' table above — includes core identifiers, descriptive text, dates, and any category-specific data.

Is scraping this site legal?

Scraping publicly available data is generally permitted in most jurisdictions, but GDPR applies to any personal data you collect. Review your local rules and consult a lawyer for commercial use.

Do I need an API key from the source platform?

No. This actor reads public pages over HTTP with datacenter proxies. No API key, no OAuth, no rate-limit management on your side.

How fresh is the data?

Every run pulls live data at execution time. Set up a schedule (daily/hourly/weekly cron) in the Apify console to keep your dataset current automatically.
