About

Directory Datasets is a small, opinionated portfolio of structured data feeds extracted from public directories and job boards.

It’s built and maintained by Alex Lowe. Every dataset is backed by an Apify Actor with strict Zod schema validation, deterministic Cheerio-based extraction (no headless browsers), and a weekly drift-detection bot that flags an issue the moment an upstream selector changes.

Why this exists

Most directories don’t expose APIs. Most scrapers you’ll find on the open market are built once and rot quickly. The mission here is the opposite: a small set of high-quality, durable datasets that buyers can trust on a recurring basis.

How pricing works

Every dataset uses pay-per-result pricing. You pay only for records that pass schema validation. Apify handles billing on their platform.
