Local business scraper for listings at scale
Local directories block scrapers, because they were not built for agents. Browserbase runs real browsers that extract business listings, contact info, and reviews from map and directory sites, reliably. On the infrastructure behind 35m+ browser sessions a month.
The Problem
Manual lead collection limits growth
- Searching business directories one location at a time across multiple sites.
- Copying contact details and lead info manually into your CRM or spreadsheet.
- Getting blocked by anti-bot detection when you try to automate searches.
- Missing new businesses and listing changes because monitoring is too slow.
- No systematic way to build comprehensive local datasets across regions.
The Solution
How Browserbase automates local data collection
- Real browsers: navigate map and directory sites like a human would.
- Verified: reach directory listings that turn away ordinary tooling, with no per-site tuning.
- Agent Identity: Web Bot Auth signs your agent's requests, so directories can verify it instead of guessing.
- Location handling: search across cities, regions, and countries systematically.
- Full observability: debug and replay every session with built-in recording.
- Parallel collection: scrape thousands of listings simultaneously.

What local business data can I collect?
You can extract business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, hours, reviews, ratings, categories, photos, and geographic coordinates from local directories and map services.
Can I scrape multiple cities or regions?
Yes. Browserbase supports parallel browser sessions. You can search across hundreds of locations simultaneously, building comprehensive datasets for entire markets or countries.
How do I handle pagination on directory sites?
Browserbase runs full browsers that handle pagination, infinite scroll, and dynamic loading. Your automation can navigate through all results just like a human user would.
How do I avoid getting blocked by map services?
Browserbase uses real browsers with Verified access built in, covering fingerprint management, residential proxies, and human-style navigation, so directories stay reachable. Agent Identity adds Web Bot Auth signed requests, so those sites can verify your agent instead of guessing.
What output formats are supported?
You control how data is extracted and formatted. Most teams output JSON for database ingestion, CSV for spreadsheets, or pipe directly to CRMs and data warehouses.
