YellowPages Canada Scraper for CSV Export
This YellowPages Canada scraper exports YellowPages.ca business detail records into a structured CSV for lead research, market mapping, and directory QA. Import the workflow into the UScraper local desktop app, add approved detail URLs, and collect business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, categories, ratings, status fields, and descriptions without building a crawler from scratch.

Scrape YellowPages.ca business listings into CSV
The bundled project starts with sample supermarket business pages in Canada. Replace or extend the Navigate URL list with YellowPages.ca detail pages from categories and locations you are allowed to collect.
Spreadsheet-ready business data
Export YellowPages.ca listings into a CSV that can be reviewed in Excel, Sheets, CRM importers, enrichment tools, or internal QA workflows.
Known URL loop
The template is built for a controlled list of business detail URLs, which keeps the run auditable and avoids pretending every category search page behaves the same.
Local desktop execution
The workflow runs in your local desktop app session and writes to a folder you control. The stock template does not send the CSV to a hosted scraping dashboard.
Skips weak inputs
The condition block checks that a LocalBusiness-style detail page exists before exporting, so unavailable pages do not create misleading blank rows.

Use this page with sibling workflows when a directory project expands: run the Yellow Pages Scraper for US listings, enrich websites with the Contact Details Scraper, or find extra channels with the Email & Social Finder. The full UScraper template library includes more search, map, and directory scrapers for follow-up extraction.
How to use
Configure the YellowPages.ca scraper workflow
2
Add approved detail URLs
Open the Navigate block and replace the sample supermarket pages with YellowPages.ca business detail URLs for your approved keyword and location set.
3
Confirm the export path
Structured Export writes yellow-pages-canada-scraper-product-listing.csv with headers enabled and append mode on. Change the save folder before client or campaign runs.
4
Run the loop
UScraper navigates to each URL, waits for the body, checks whether a business detail page exists, exports matching rows, sleeps briefly, and continues through the list.
5
Open and QA the CSV
Spot-check several profile URLs against YellowPages.ca, remove duplicates, and validate phone or website fields before downstream use.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
YellowPages.ca business pages may be publicly visible, but automated collection can still be limited by the site's terms of use, robots rules, privacy law, database rights, and marketing regulations. Use modest pacing, avoid bypassing access controls, and get legal review before resale, enrichment, or outbound campaigns.
Before you run
Practical limitations and maintenance
Guardrails for reliable YellowPages.ca exports
Pacing
Avoid aggressive unattended batches
Keep the waits in place, avoid parallel runs against the same directory, and pause if YellowPages.ca returns CAPTCHA, rate-limit, or unusual response pages.
Input quality
Use valid business detail URLs
This template is not a search-results crawler. It works best after you have a vetted URL list from manual research, an approved source file, or a separate listing-page workflow.
Layout drift
Directory markup can change
Empty names, missing phones, or blank website fields usually mean a profile omits that field or the page layout changed. Refresh the export columns before a large batch.
Compliance
Business listings still have usage rules
Phone numbers, addresses, ratings, and descriptions can be governed by platform terms and outreach rules. Keep source URLs in the CSV and use exported rows only for allowed purposes.
