## Changelog

### 0.0.13 (2026-10-01)

- A run no longer ends as timed out. About 30 seconds before the run timeout the scraper stops starting new work, saves everything it has collected and finishes successfully, with a status message saying how many inputs were not finished. Raise the run timeout to get them all.

### 0.0.12 (2026-09-24)

- A place, or a valid place ID, could occasionally be reported as not found on Google Maps when Google answered with an incomplete page. This happened in 2 of about 1,400 runs. The scraper now checks again before it reports a place as not found. Place IDs that really do not exist are still reported as not found and are still not charged.
- A run now uses at most 256 MB of memory, the same as the default. This makes no difference to the results.

### 0.0.1 (2026-09-14)

First release.

- Places from search terms in one or more locations, Google Maps search URLs, place URLs, share links, CID links and place IDs.
- Locations holding more places than one Google search shows are searched part by part; duplicates are removed across the whole run.
- Place details as an option: description, star breakdown, review topics, owner, photo count, attributes, weekly opening hours and, where Google shows them, price range, popular times, menu, image categories and related places. Hotels: stars, prices by booking site, amenities.
- Reviews with sort, start date, keyword filter, translations, owner replies, photos and food/service/atmosphere ratings. Reviewer details can be turned off.
- Emails, phone numbers and social profiles from the business websites, charged only when something is found.
- Free filters: minimum rating, with or without website, category words, name matching, closed places.
- Field names compatible with the most used Google Maps scraper on Apify.
- $0.07 per 1,000 places; place details, reviews and website contacts are separate, optional events.
- The run's maximum total charge is honoured, including reviews and contacts, and the whole budget is used: a run with a small limit keeps collecting places while earlier places finish.
- A run moved to another server by the platform continues where it stopped: places already saved are not saved or charged again. An aborted run saves the places it finished.
- Place records with thousands of long reviews stop at the size a dataset record can hold instead of failing the run.
- Social profiles come only from the business's own links and profile data, so template and share links are no longer reported.
- Share links that cannot be opened because of a network problem are reported as a failed run, not as bad input.
- Remote URL lists in Google Maps URLs and `google.com/maps?q=<place>` links are accepted.
