## About

# Business & Lead Data Scraping

Getting B2B leads and company data off the web. Two kinds of sources matter here:

- **Business listings & directories** (Google Maps, IndiaMart, JustDial) give you the prospecting basics: company name, phone, website, category, location, rating. Best for building local lead lists and supplier shortlists.
- **Registry / verification sources** (GST Verification, UN Comtrade) are authoritative — they confirm a legal entity, its status, or its trade activity. Best for KYB/due-diligence and market sizing.

The fields that carry a lead: **company, contact (phone/website), category, location** — plus a verification or enrichment field (GSTIN, employee roster, HS-code trade volume) when you need to qualify it.

## Build your own

No maintained scraper for your source, or need something custom? Start with the engineering skills:

- `web-scraping-playbook` — the build-vs-buy decision and the cost-first technique ladder.
- `anti-bot-scraping` — bypassing Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, and friends.
- `apify-actor-builder` — package and monetize your scraper as a deployable Apify Actor.

## Compliance

Contact and personal data is regulated (GDPR, CCPA, India DPDP, CAN-SPAM): have a lawful basis to process it, honor opt-outs, don't spam, and scrape only publicly accessible business data.
