## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Maps Data Scraper Pro

Scrape **business data** from Google Maps using only Apify resources (Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy + Playwright). Extract names, phones, addresses, ratings, reviews, websites, and geo coordinates.

### 💰 Pricing

This Actor uses the **Pay Per Event** pricing model:

| Event | Price |
|-------|-------|
| Per business scraped | $8.00 / 1,000 |

For example, scraping 100 businesses costs: **$0.80**

### 📥 Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `searchStringsArray` | array | ✅ | `["restaurant"]` | What to search in Google Maps |
| `locationQuery` | string | ❌ | `"Mumbai, India"` | Free-text location (city/region) |
| `maxPlaces` | integer | ❌ | `20` | Stop after this many places (0 = no limit) |
| `language` | string | ❌ | `"en"` | Google Maps UI language |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | ❌ | `3` | Number of browser pages open in parallel |
| `maxRequestRetries` | integer | ❌ | `5` | Retries per request on block/timeout |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | ❌ | `{"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}` | Proxy settings (RESIDENTIAL required) |

#### Example Input

```json
{
  "searchStringsArray": ["restaurant", "dentist"],
  "locationQuery": "New York, NY",
  "maxPlaces": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "maxRequestRetries": 5
}
```

#### Example Output

```json
{
  "title": "Joe's Pizza",
  "category": "Restaurant",
  "types": ["Pizza restaurant", "Italian restaurant"],
  "address": "123 Main St, New York, NY 10001",
  "phone": "+1 212-555-1234",
  "website": "https://joespizza.com",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "reviewsCount": 1234,
  "priceLevel": "$$",
  "hours": {
    "Monday": "11:00 AM – 10:00 PM",
    "Tuesday": "11:00 AM – 10:00 PM"
  },
  "plusCode": "87G8M2+V9",
  "imageUrl": "https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/...",
  "latitude": 40.7128,
  "longitude": -74.0060,
  "permanentlyClosed": false,
  "claimed": true,
  "reviews": [
    { "author": "John D.", "rating": 5, "text": "Best pizza in town!" }
  ],
  "url": "https://maps.google.com/..."
}
```

### 🔧 How It Works

1. Opens a Google Maps search for each term + location (forced `hl=en&gl=us` for stable English UI)
2. Collects each result's place link
3. Opens each place and reads the business panel (name, phone, address, website, rating, reviews, hours, geo, image)
4. Retries on blocked/slow loads

### 🔗 Integration

- **Zapier**: Use the "Run Actor" action with dataset polling
- **Make.com**: Use the HTTP module to call the Actor API
- **n8n**: Use the Apify node or HTTP Request node
- **OpenAI MCP**: Connect via the Apify MCP server

### ⚠️ Notes

- Uses Apify **RESIDENTIAL** proxy + browser compute
- Google Maps limits scrolling to ~120 results per search term
- Category may appear in local language due to Google geolocation behavior
- Use `maxPlaces` to control cost per search

# Actor input Schema

## `searchStringsArray` (type: `array`):

What to search in Google Maps, e.g. \["restaurant", "dentist"].

## `locationQuery` (type: `string`):

Free-text location, e.g. "Mumbai, India".

## `maxPlaces` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many places (caps cost). 0 = no limit.

## `language` (type: `string`):

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Retries per request on block/timeout.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Google Maps needs residential proxy. Default Apify RESIDENTIAL.

    "restaurant"
  ],
  "locationQuery": "Mumbai, India",
  "maxPlaces": 20,
  "language": "en",

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,admo-solutions/google-maps-data-scraper-pro"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
