Location spoofing
Accurate city-level routing

Sulekha routes traffic and displays results based on IP geolocation and cookies. We use residential Indian proxies mapped to specific cities and inject precise location headers to extract accurate local SERPs.

Dynamic content
JavaScript rendering for contact data

Phone numbers and certain profile details often require user interaction or JavaScript execution to load. We use Playwright to trigger these elements and capture the underlying data.

Pagination limits
Deep crawling strategies

Directory search results are often capped at a certain number of pages. We bypass these limits by iterating through granular sub-categories and micro-localities to ensure complete category coverage.

Data normalisation
Standardising unstructured addresses

Local business addresses are frequently entered in non-standard formats. We parse and normalise street addresses, localities, and pincodes into structured database columns.

Rate limiting
Distributed request timing

We distribute requests across thousands of IPs and introduce randomised delays to mimic human browsing behaviour, preventing 403 blocks and IP bans.

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Sulekha legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Sulekha is generally permissible under Indian law. DataFlirt extracts only public business profiles, reviews, and visible contact details. We do not bypass authentication to access private leads or user accounts.

Can you extract phone numbers from business profiles?

Yes, we extract phone numbers that are publicly listed on the business profile. We use headless browsers to trigger the JavaScript events required to reveal masked contact details.

How do you handle location-specific search results?

We use Indian residential proxies and inject specific location headers and cookies for each request. This ensures the data reflects exactly what a user in that specific city or locality would see.

How fresh is the data?

We can configure pipelines to run daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your requirements. Delta updates ensure you receive new businesses and review changes quickly.

Do you extract all reviews for a business?

Yes. We paginate through the entire review history of a business profile, capturing the text, rating, date, and any responses from the business owner.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our minimum engagement typically starts at 10,000 business profiles or a specific set of categories and cities. We price based on data volume, update frequency, and pipeline complexity.

Can you map Sulekha categories to our internal taxonomy?

We deliver the raw category and sub-category strings as they appear on Sulekha. You can apply your own normalisation logic downstream, or we can build custom transformation steps into the pipeline for an additional fee.
