FAQ

Do I need a BBB account or any setup? No account and no setup — just enter a business type and location and run.

How many businesses can I get per run? Use maxItems to cap results. Run different findText and findLoc combinations to widen coverage across the US and Canada.

Can I filter by business type, location and country? Yes. Search by findText (business type or name), narrow with findLoc (city, state or ZIP), and choose country (USA or CAN).

Does it include phone numbers and addresses? Yes — the contact telephone and full address (street, city, region, ZIP, country) are included where listed.

What's the output format? Structured JSON — one record per business with BBB rating, accreditation, phone, address and URL. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Is scraping BBB.org legal? Only public data shown to any visitor on BBB.org is collected. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with the Better Business Bureau; check BBB's Terms of Service and applicable marketing/data regulations for your use case.

Can I integrate this with other tools? The BBB Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

Notes

Original clean-room implementation. Returns only public data shown to any visitor on BBB.org; you are responsible for compliance with BBB's terms. Not affiliated with the Better Business Bureau.

You pay only for what the run returns. Set a maximum cost per run and it stops cleanly at that limit.
