Google Maps Scraper — Leads, Emails & Reviews

Google Maps Scraper extracts every business Google Maps has for a search in any city, district, postal code, polygon or radius. For each place you get its name, category, address, phone, website, rating, review count, opening hours, coordinates and photos. Optionally you also get emails and social profiles from the business's website, reviews with owner replies, and the review histogram. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the data through the Apify API.

• 🗺️ The whole area, not just the first 120 results. Google Maps shows about 120 places per search. This scraper covers your location with an adaptive map grid: dense downtowns get fine cells, empty areas cost one request. In a test on all coffee shops in Manhattan it found 1,400+ places, versus ~120 from a single search.
• 🎯 Only places inside your area, and you never pay for the rest. The location's real boundary comes from OpenStreetMap. A search for "Austin" returns Austin, not Round Rock, and places outside the boundary are skipped before they are charged.
• 💸 Less than half the price of the most popular Google Maps scraper. Filters are free, and contacts are charged only when an email or profile is actually found. See pricing.
• 🛑 Your spending limit is a hard limit. Every place is charged before it is delivered, and only what your budget covers is delivered. A run cannot overshoot Maximum places or your limit.
• ⚡ Fast. It uses plain HTTP with no browser: about 1,400 places in under 3 minutes on 1 GB of memory.
• 🧩 Drop-in compatible. Input and output field names match Apify's own Google Maps Scraper (searchStringsArray, locationQuery, title, totalScore, reviewsCount, placeId, reviews, …), so existing integrations keep working.
• 🔔 Monitoring built in. Turn on Only new places, schedule the run, and each run delivers only businesses that were not there before, such as newly opened restaurants.
• 🔓 No login and no cookies. It reads Google Maps the way a logged-out visitor sees it.

How to scrape Google Maps

1. Click Try for free and sign in to Apify. The free plan includes monthly credit.
2. Enter Search terms, for example dentist or coffee shop.
3. Enter a Location, for example Austin, Texas, USA. You can also use the country / city fields, or draw a custom area.
4. Optionally turn on Emails & social profiles, Place details or Reviews per place, and set filters such as a minimum rating.
5. Click Start. Open the Leads & contacts or Reviews tab of the results, or download everything as CSV, Excel or JSON.

You can also paste Google Maps URLs (place links, search links, share links from the app) or place IDs to scrape specific places.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Maps?

You pay for what you get, and higher Apify plans pay less. Proxies and compute are included, and there is no start fee.

Event (per 1,000)	Free	Starter	Scale	Business
Place	$1.50	$1.30	$1.20	$1.20
Place details	$0.50	$0.40	$0.30	$0.25
Contacts (only when found)	$1.20	$1.00	$0.80	$0.60
Review	$0.25	$0.20	$0.15	$0.12

These are free: filters, places outside your area, duplicates found by several search terms, places already seen in monitoring mode, retries, and rows for inputs that failed.

Example (Starter plan)	Price
1,000 restaurants with phone, website, rating and hours	$1.30
1,000 leads with emails and socials (≈60% have a website with contacts)	$1.30 + $0.60 = $1.90
1,000 places with details and 20 reviews each	$1.30 + $0.40 + $4.00 = $5.70
All 20,000 reviews of one hotel	$4.00

For comparison, on the Starter plan Apify's own Google Maps Scraper lists $3.00 per 1,000 places, $2.00 per 1,000 contact lookups, $2.00 per 1,000 place details, $0.50 per 1,000 reviews and $1.00 per 1,000 places for each filter you use (September 2026). So 1,000 leads with contacts cost $5.00 there and $1.90 here, and a minimum-rating filter adds $1.00 there and nothing here.

}

The results have ready-made tabs: Places, Leads & contacts, Reviews (one row per review, ideal for CSV), Location & hours and Errors.

Every run also saves:

• RESULTS_MAP, an interactive map of all delivered places and the searched area. Use it to check coverage at a glance.
• RUN_SUMMARY, with counts of delivered places, places skipped by each filter, places outside the area and duplicates, plus what was charged.

Why this Google Maps scraper finds more places

Google Maps never returns more than about 120 places for one search, however large the map is. When you zoom out it also hides less prominent places. This scraper therefore:

1. looks up the real boundary of your location,
2. searches it cell by cell, splitting every cell where Google stops while still returning places inside it,
3. keeps splitting wide cells that are dense, because zoomed-out results leave out smaller businesses,
4. stops paging a cell as soon as Google starts padding the results with places outside the cell.

The result is close to what you would get by zooming into every street, at a fraction of the requests.

Monitoring new businesses

Turn on Only new places and schedule the Actor (for example weekly) with the same search terms and location. The first run delivers everything. Each later run delivers, and charges for, only places that were not delivered before, each marked isNewPlace: true. Give the search a Monitoring name if you want several tasks to share one memory.

Use it through the API, MCP and integrations

You can run the scraper from the Apify API, with the JavaScript or Python client, or from Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets and Slack. AI agents can call it through the Apify MCP server. The input has a small number of plain fields that language models fill in reliably.

FAQ

Do I need a Google account, API key or cookies?

No. The Actor reads public Google Maps data as a logged-out visitor. You don't need a Google Places API key.

How many places can I get?

All that Google Maps lists for your search in your area. A whole country works too, but it takes longer, so set Maximum places per search term when testing.

Why do some places have no email?

Emails come from the business's own website, and many small businesses don't publish one or have no website at all. You pay for contacts only when something is found.

Can I get all reviews of a place?

Yes. Set Reviews per place to a large number. Use Only reviews since with Newest first to collect just the recent ones and pay only for those.

Why doesn't the output have the price level or popular times?

They are not collected yet. Both are on the roadmap; until then price stays empty.

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps?

The Actor collects publicly available business information. Reviews can contain personal data (reviewer names and photos). You can turn that off with Include reviewer names and profiles. Personal data is protected by regulations such as GDPR, so only process it if you have a legitimate reason. If in doubt, consult a lawyer. See also Apify's post on the legality of web scraping.

What if Google changes something?

Unrecognised responses produce a clear PARSER_MISMATCH row instead of silent wrong data, so a change is noticed and fixed quickly. Please report it in the Issues tab.
