Apple Maps Scraper - Places, Phones, Hours, Ratings & Photos

What does Apple Maps Scraper do?

Apple Maps Scraper extracts business and place data from Apple Maps and turns a search term plus an area, or a list of Apple Maps links, into one structured row per place: name, phone, website, full address, coordinates, category, rating, opening hours, amenities, photos and review snippets. Built for lead-generation teams, local-SEO agencies and market researchers who need Apple Maps listings without copying them by hand.

• Full place record: phone (plus other phones and fax), website, structured address, coordinates, category tree, rating with its source and scale, weekly hours, amenities, photos, review snippets, Apple Maps link.
• Whole areas, not just one result list: Apple shows 25-55 places per search; when you ask for more, the area is split and searched again until your limit is reached.
• Search or paste links: terms + a city, address, coordinates or bounding box, or Apple Maps place, search and guide links.
• Lead flags: unclaimed listing, no website, missing fields and a completeness score on every row, plus optional emails and social profiles from the place's website.
• No Apple account, cookies or MapKit token: you give a search or a link, nothing else.
• Monitor mode: run on a schedule and get only places that are new or changed since the last run.
• Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML; schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, the Apify API and MCP.

⬇️ Input

Parameter	Type	Description
🔍 What to scrape
searchQueries	List	What to look for, e.g. dentists, coffee shop, EV charging station. A term can carry its own place (dentists austin tx). API callers may also pass {"query": "…", "location": "…", "maxResults": 30} objects.

startUrls, placeUrls, searchUrls, guideUrls	List	Apple Maps place links (?place-id=I…, ?auid=…), bare place ids, search links (/search?query=…&center=…&span=…), guide links (/guides?curated=…), address links and maps.apple short links.
🎯 Filters (applied by Apple Maps)

✂️ Refine results

Input JSON

{
  "searchQueries": ["dentists", "orthodontist"],
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "hasPhone": true,
  "minRating": "4"
}

Put only the business type in the search term

Do: searchQueries: ["coffee shop"] with location: "Brooklyn, NY". Don't: a one-word term in another language on its own — Apple Maps sometimes reads it as a place name (on a test, ramen with a Japanese locale matched a village called Ramen). Use the term buyers would type in that country (ラーメン) or add a category word; places Apple returns far outside your area are dropped and never charged.

Ask for more than 55 when you want the whole area

One Apple Maps answer holds 25 places for a neighborhood-sized view and 55 for a city-sized one. Set maxResults higher (or 0) and Apple Maps Scraper keeps splitting the area into quarters while the answers are full. Split by city or neighborhood with locations when you want the rows grouped by area.

• 📊 Market researchers — count and map competitors per neighborhood with categories, ratings and price levels.
• 🗺️ Data and GIS teams — coordinates, structured addresses and time zones for every place in a city.
• 🔁 Monitoring — run weekly to catch new businesses in an area and changes to ratings, hours, phones and websites.

How much does it cost to scrape Apple Maps?

Apple Maps Scraper is pay-per-result: $3.10 per 1,000 places ($0.0031 per place), no start fee.

Places	Cost
10	$0.031
100	$0.31
1,000	$3.10
10,000	$31.00

Optional add-ons: website contacts $0.0014 per place where the website gave at least one email or social profile (nothing when none is found); guide rows $0.0028 per guide. Photos, review snippets, hours and amenities are included in the place price. Filtered-out places are not stored and not billed. Set a maximum spend on the run and it stops when the limit is reached; the places delivered so far are kept.

There is nothing else to pay: Apify platform usage is included in these prices. On the default 1,024 MB a 25-place search took 3-4 seconds on two test runs; larger searches take one more Apple answer for each split area.

Integrations, API, scheduling & MCP

• Schedules: run Apple Maps Scraper daily or weekly from the Schedules tab; with monitorMode each run returns only new or changed places.

Limits & empty runs

• Results per answer: Apple Maps returns 25 places for a neighborhood-sized view and 55 for a city-sized one; larger maxResults values split the area into quarters and search each again (more answers, a longer run).
• Reviews: Apple shows up to 3 review snippets per place to visitors; full review histories are not available.
• Ratings: US places mostly carry Yelp ratings on a 0-5 scale; elsewhere Apple's own 0-100 scores are common. ratingOutOf5 puts both on one scale.
• Links: a share link that points to a street address with no business on it, and personal guides, are reported in RUN_SUMMARY and not charged.
• Empty dataset: no matching places in the area, a filter that removed everything, or a term Apple read as a place name. RUN_SUMMARY says which. Nothing is charged.

FAQ

How many places can Apple Maps Scraper collect in one run?

As many as the area has. One Apple Maps answer holds 25-55 places; Apple Maps Scraper splits the area until maxResults is reached.

Can I run Apple Maps Scraper on a schedule to get new places automatically?

Yes. Save your input as a task, open Schedules, pick the cadence and turn on monitorMode. Each run returns only places not delivered before, plus places whose rating, review count, opening hours, phone or website changed. A changed place carries previousStats: the previous rating, review count, hours status, opening hours, phone and website, plus changedFields naming what changed.

Can I integrate Apple Maps Scraper with other apps?

Yes — Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack and more via Apify integrations, or webhooks when a run finishes.

Can I use Apple Maps Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. Use apify-client for Node.js or Python; the API tab has ready-to-paste code.

Can I use Apple Maps Scraper through an MCP server?

Yes. Open the MCP tab, connect your MCP client and ask for Apple Maps places in plain language. Turn on compact for shorter rows.

Do I need an Apple account, cookies or a MapKit token for Apple Maps Scraper?

No. No login, no cookies, no token. You give search terms and an area, or Apple Maps links.

Does Apple Maps Scraper return emails?

Apple Maps lists phones and websites but no emails. Turn on Website contacts and Apple Maps Scraper reads each place's website for emails and social profiles, with the page each email was found on. On four small test runs (dentists, plumbers, bakeries and florists in Austin), 11 of the 14 places with their own website gave a social profile or an email, 6 of them an email.

Can Apple Maps Scraper scrape places outside the US?

Yes. Set countryCode and language (for example DE and de-DE); names, categories and addresses come back in that language and Apple ranks results for that country.

Why did my Apple Maps Scraper run return no results?

The area had no matching places, a filter removed them, or Apple read the term as a place name. RUN_SUMMARY lists each search with its reason. Nothing is charged for an empty run.

Is it legal to scrape Apple Maps?

Apple Maps Scraper collects data Apple Maps shows publicly to any visitor and does not log in. You are responsible for complying with Apple's terms and the rules that apply where you work.
