FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The public businesslist.my business directory. We keep a stored copy of its category pages and serve your run from it, so results come back in seconds. The run log states the date of the copy.

How do I choose categories?

Use businesslist.my's own category names as they appear in its web addresses, e.g. 'car-parts-and-accessories' or 'advertising'. Enter any name the actor does not know and it returns the full list of 365 categories as a free row.

Can I filter by state or city?

Yes. 'state' is one of the 13 states or Wilayah Persekutuan (Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan); 'city' is the town in the address. Both take a list of values. For a whole state use 'state': about one listing in six has its state typed where the town should be, so a town filter alone misses those.

Does it include emails?

No. businesslist.my does not show an email on its listing pages. Phone is on 98.6% of listings.

Why is phone_e164 sometimes empty?

It is filled only when the number can be read unambiguously as a Malaysian number (67.3% of businesses on 2026-10-26). The phone column always keeps the number exactly as the business wrote it.

How current is it?

The stored copy is refreshed when it is older than a month and the actor is in use. The run log states the date of the copy, and a run served from a copy older than 45 days returns one free notice saying so.

How am I charged?

One event per business listing returned. A business found in two of your categories is charged once. Notices are free.
