Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Maps Local Business Scraper Scrape Google Maps business listings at scale by search query, free-text location, or geographic boundary. Automatically extract place metadata, ratings, reviews, contact details, and perform secondary website enrichment for email addresses and social media links. --- ### What does Google Maps Local Business Scraper do? Google Maps is the world's largest repository of local business information. This Apify Actor uses browser automation with **PlaywrightCrawler** to extract detailed business profiles directly from Google Maps. - **Geographic Subdivision**: Bypasses Google Maps' native ~120 result per viewport cap using recursive polygon grid subdivision. - **Rich Business Data**: Title, address breakdown, phone numbers, websites, star ratings, review distribution, price brackets, and opening hours. - **Website Enrichment (Secondary Hop)**: Optionally visits each business's website to discover contact email addresses, social media links (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X), and key staff members. - **Review Extraction**: Extract detailed customer review texts and star ratings. --- ### How to use #### Step 1 — Define your search queries You can search by: 1. **Search Terms**: e.g., `["restaurants in Austin"]`, `["gyms in Miami"]`. 2. **Location Query**: Provide an explicit location (e.g. `Austin, TX`) to combine with search terms. 3. **Geographic Polygon / Search Area**: Pass a GeoJSON geometry (`Polygon`, `MultiPolygon`, or `Point` + `radiusMeters`) to automatically trigger sub-5km geographic grid subdivision. #### Step 2 — Configure options - **Max Crawled Places Per Search**: Cap results per query (default: `120`). - **Include Website Enrichment**: Enable secondary crawl of business websites for emails & social links. - **Include Reviews**: Extract customer review text and ratings. #### Step 3 — Run & Export Click **Start** and export clean, structured datasets in **JSON, CSV, or Excel** format. --- ### Input Example ```json { "searchStringsArray": ["restaurants in Austin"], "locationQuery": "Austin, TX", "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 120, "language": "en", "includeWebsiteEnrichment": true, "includeReviews": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` *** ### Output Sample ```json { "placeId": "ChIJ_restaurants_30.2672_-97.7431", "title": "Terry Black's BBQ", "categoryName": "Barbecue restaurant", "permanentlyClosed": false, "temporarilyClosed": false, "address": { "street": "1003 Barton Springs Rd", "city": "Austin", "state": "TX", "countryCode": "US", "postalCode": "78704", "plusCode": "" }, "location": { "lat": 30.2598, "lng": -97.7548 }, "phone": "+1 512-394-5899", "website": "https://www.terryblacksbbq.com/", "openingHours": [ { "day": "Monday", "hours": "9 AM–5 PM" } ], "popularTimes": { "live": null, "histogram": {} }, "priceBracket": "$$", "totalScore": 4.7, "reviewsCount": 12500, "reviewsDistribution": { "1": 0, "2": 0, "3": 0, "4": 0, "5": 0 }, "reviews": [], "questionsAndAnswers": [], "enrichment": { "emails": ["info@terryblacksbbq.com"], "socialLinks": { "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/terryblacksbbq", "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/terryblacksbbq", "tiktok": null, "x": null }, "employees": [], "enrichmentStatus": "ok" }, "scrapedAt": "2026-07-21T18:49:25.000Z" } ``` *** ### Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Monetization This Actor uses Apify's **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model: - **Base Place Record**: $1.50 per 1,000 scraped listings. - **Website Enrichment Hop**: $1.50 per 1,000 enriched records. - **Review Extraction**: $0.30 per 1,000 extracted reviews. - **Actor Start Floor**: $0.05 per run. *** ### Data Quality Guarantees - **No duplicate `placeId` rows**: Automatic cross-grid deduplication. - **Strict schema adherence**: Missing keys return `null` or `[]` (never omitted). - **Clean URLs**: All website URLs normalized to full `https://` (Google redirects stripped). - **ISO Timestamps & Upper Case Country Codes**. # Actor input Schema ## `searchStringsArray` (type: `array`): Array of search queries to execute on Google Maps (e.g., 'restaurants in Austin', 'gyms in Miami'). ## `locationQuery` (type: `string`): Optional location name appended to search terms if searchArea is not specified. ## `searchArea` (type: `object`): Optional GeoJSON geometry (Polygon, MultiPolygon, or Point with radius) to bound search results via geographic subdivision. ## `maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of business listings to extract per search query (0 = unlimited). ## `language` (type: `string`): Language code for Google Maps interface (e.g. 'en', 'es', 'de', 'fr'). ## `includeWebsiteEnrichment` (type: `boolean`): Triggers a secondary hop to visit the business's website and extract emails, social media links, and team members. ## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`): Extract customer review texts, star ratings, and review distribution stats. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of customer reviews to extract per place listing (only if includeReviews is true). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy settings to avoid IP blocks and geographic restrictions. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchStringsArray": [ "restaurants in Austin" ], "locationQuery": "Austin, TX", "searchArea": {}, "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 50, "language": "en", "includeWebsiteEnrichment": false, "includeReviews": false, "maxReviews": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
