Q: Question About Scraping a Niche Across the Entire UK and US
Hi,
If I want to scrape data for a specific niche, like all dentists across the United Kingdom, can I scrape the entire country at once, or do I need to go city by city? Similarly, would I have to go state by state for the United States? It would be much easier to scrape the whole country at once, so please let me know if that’s possible.
Thanks!

Nov 15, 2024A: Thank you very much for telling us the details. Unfortunately you cannot scrape the whole country at once. This is a scraping software. The software basically takes the input field and passes that to the original yellowpages. If the yellowpages provides data, the software can scrape that. However, the yellowpages unfortunately do not provide data for more than a certain number of pages. So, in order to get all the data, splitting the location into smaller area is important. Let us know if you have any questions. Have a great day.
If I continue scraping, is there a risk that Yellow Pages will block me from accessing more data? Also, is Yell.com available for the UK in your software?
