Geographic routing
Canadian residential proxies

N49 expects traffic from Canadian users. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies strictly routed through Canadian nodes to ensure consistent access and prevent geographic blocking.

Schema stability
Resilient selectors for business profiles

Directory layouts can vary between claimed and unclaimed listings. Our selector strategy uses multiple fallback chains to ensure NAP data is captured regardless of page template variations.

Deep crawling
Category tree traversal

We programmatically navigate N49's complex category and location hierarchies, ensuring comprehensive coverage of niche sub-categories and smaller municipalities.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what has changed

For ongoing monitoring, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values per business. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.

Monitoring
24/7 pipeline health

Every run emits structured logs to our observability stack. We alert on null-rate spikes and coverage drops, responding before data quality is impacted.

Common questions.

About n49.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping N49 legal?

Scraping publicly available directory information is generally permissible under applicable law. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated business profiles and review data. We do not extract personal user data behind login walls or violate privacy regulations. Clients should review N49's terms and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle geographic restrictions?

We route all N49 extraction requests through Canadian residential proxies. This ensures our crawlers see the same localized content and directory structures as a standard user based in Canada, preventing location-based blocking.

Can you extract data for specific Canadian provinces only?

Yes. We can configure the pipeline to target specific provinces, cities, or even individual postal codes, ensuring you only receive data relevant to your target market.

How fresh is the data?

For continuous monitoring, pipelines can run on weekly or monthly schedules to capture new business listings and recent reviews. Full directory refreshes are typically scheduled based on your specific ingestion requirements.

Do you extract all reviews or just the most recent ones?

We extract the complete review corpus for a business by paginating through all available review pages, capturing historical sentiment alongside recent feedback.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our smallest packages start at defined category or city lists (typically 5,000-20,000 listings) with monthly delivery. For larger national sweeps, we price based on volume and delivery frequency.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 500 business listings as part of the pre-engagement scoping process so you can validate schema fit and data quality.
