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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## 🛰️ Review Radar — Google Maps Review Intelligence **Stop drowning in raw reviews. Get the decisions instead.** Every other Google Maps review tool dumps hundreds of rows of JSON on you and calls it a day. **Review Radar reads the reviews for you** and hands back what a $200/hour consultant would: the top complaints ranked by frequency, what customers love, what they wish you offered, an honest reputation score, and a clear action for every problem — in the language *you* choose. > Paste a Google Maps URL → get an action plan. That's it. --- ### ⚡ Why Review Radar instead of a plain scraper | Plain review scrapers | 🛰️ Review Radar | |---|---| | Give you **raw reviews** | Gives you **the analysis & the action plan** | | 800 rows to read yourself | Top complaints **ranked**, each with a fix | | Reviews in mixed languages | **Every quote translated** to your chosen language | | A static snapshot | **Trend alerts**: what got worse in the last 30 days | | Just a star rating | A **credible reputation score (0–100)** with the "why" | | No context | **Side-by-side competitor comparison** | | You write the report | A **consultant-grade executive summary**, ready to send | You're not paying for data. You're paying for the hour of analysis you *don't* have to do. --- ### 🎯 What you get in every report - **Reputation Health Score (0–100)** — anchored on the real Google rating across *all* the business's reviews, then adjusted for the issues we detect. Credible, explainable, not a black box. - **Top complaints, ranked** — by how many reviews mention them, with severity, a representative quote, and **a concrete recommendation to fix each one**. - **Top praises** — the strengths worth protecting and putting in your marketing. - **Requested features** — products or services customers *wish existed* but you don't offer yet (genuine unmet demand, not recycled complaints). - **Trend alert** — what's emerging or improving in the last 30 days, so you catch a problem before it sinks your rating. - **Executive summary** — a sharp, quantified briefing written like an advisor, not a robot. - **Competitor comparison** *(optional)* — how you stack up, dimension by dimension. - **Any language** — Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German, Italian. The whole report, including translated quotes. --- ### 💡 Who uses it - **Marketing & reputation agencies** — resell it as a monthly reputation audit. Paste a client's URL, deliver a polished report in seconds. - **Restaurant / retail / clinic chains** — monitor multiple locations and catch the one that's slipping. - **Business owners** — one run before a strategy decision: know exactly what to fix first. - **AI agents** — call Review Radar as a tool to turn any place into structured reputation intelligence. --- ### 🚀 How to use it 1. Identify the business **either way** — both work equally well: - **Place URL**: open the business on Google Maps (click its listing) and copy the full URL, or - **Place ID**: paste its Google Place ID (`ChIJ...`) — handy for agencies and automations. 2. Pick your **report language** and **business type**. 3. *(Optional)* add a **competitor URL** for a head-to-head, toggle **trend analysis**. 4. Add your **OpenAI API key** (the analysis runs on your own key). 5. **Start.** In a couple of minutes you get a complete intelligence report. > 💬 Tip: for the richest analysis, leave **reviews to analyze** at 150 or higher — many reviews are star-only with no text, so more reviews means a deeper report. > The whole report — including every review quote — is delivered in the language you choose, with quotes translated automatically. --- ### 📦 Sample output ```json { "business": { "name": "McDonald's", "averageRating": 4, "reviewsAnalyzed": 150 }, "reputationHealth": { "score": 74, "label": "Strong", "explanation": "74/100 (Strong). Anchor: 4★ on Google across 2123 reviews, adjusted for 4 complaint themes." }, "topComplaints": [ { "theme": "Customer service", "percentage": 26.2, "severity": "high", "exampleQuote": "Extremely poor service at this location.", "recommendation": "Add a peak-hours staffing plan and a 2-minute service script to standardize quality." } ], "requestedFeatures": [{ "feature": "Mobile order pickup lane", "demandSignals": 4 }], "executiveSummary": "26% of reviews flag service issues — your weakest, highest-severity area...", "trend": { "alert": "Service complaints up vs. the prior period — act now." } } ```` *** ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need an OpenAI key?** Yes — the AI analysis runs on your own key, so you stay in control of usage and cost. Get one at platform.openai.com/api-keys. **Which languages are supported?** The full report (including translated quotes) is available in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German and Italian. **What if my Google Maps URL doesn't work?** Use the *full* URL (the long one containing `/data=...!1s0x...`), or just paste the **Place ID**. Review Radar validates this up front and tells you exactly what to fix. **Can AI agents use it?** Yes. Review Radar returns clean structured JSON, ideal as a tool for AI agents and automation platforms (Make, n8n, Zapier). *** *Built for people who'd rather act on reviews than read them.* # Actor input Schema ## `placeUrl` (type: `string`): Pega la URL COMPLETA del negocio. Ábrelo en Google Maps haciendo clic en su ficha y copia la URL larga (la que contiene '/data=...!1s0x...'). Si no tienes la URL, usa el campo Place ID más abajo. ## `placeId` (type: `string`): Identificador único del local en Google (empieza con 'ChIJ...'). Úsalo si prefieres no pegar la URL. Solo necesitas uno de los dos: URL o Place ID. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): Cuántas reseñas analizar (las más recientes primero). Recomendado 150+ para un análisis robusto: muchas reseñas son solo estrellas sin texto, así que cuantas más, mejor calidad del reporte. ## `language` (type: `string`): Idioma en el que se entregará TODO el reporte, incluidas las citas de las reseñas (se traducen automáticamente). ## `industry` (type: `string`): Afina la categorización de quejas y elogios al rubro. 'Detectar automáticamente' funciona bien en la mayoría de casos. ## `competitorUrl` (type: `string`): Activa el análisis comparativo lado a lado. Pega la URL completa de Google Maps de un competidor para ver cómo te comparas dimensión por dimensión. ## `trendAnalysis` (type: `boolean`): Detecta qué mejoró o empeoró en los últimos 30 días frente a reseñas anteriores. Alerta temprana de problemas emergentes. ## `outputPdf` (type: `boolean`): Genera un reporte descargable listo para presentar a un cliente final (próximamente). ## `openaiApiKey` (type: `string`): Tu clave de OpenAI (empieza con 'sk-...'). Consíguela en platform.openai.com/api-keys. La cuenta debe tener saldo disponible. ## `apifyApiToken` (type: `string`): Leave blank in most cases — Review Radar fetches reviews automatically. Only paste your Apify token (apify\_api\_...) if a run reports a permissions error. Get it at console.apify.com/settings/integrations. ## Actor input object example ```json { "placeUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...", "maxReviews": 150, "language": "es", "industry": "auto", "trendAnalysis": true, "outputPdf": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
