## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

Search Google Maps by city, ZIP code, country, or custom location and extract leads, business details, contacts, and reviews without running a browser.

This actor uses Google Maps request endpoints directly, so it stays lighter than a browser-based scraper while still returning structured results at scale.

### 🚀 What it does

- Search Google Maps by query and location
- Support city, ZIP/postal code, country, or custom location text
- Collect place IDs, names, addresses, coordinates, ratings, categories, contacts, and websites
- Keep the public form focused on query, location, and place count
- Review collection is controlled internally for operators

### ⚙️ How it works

- `query` is the business keyword you want
- `locationType` tells the actor whether `location` is a city, ZIP/postal code, country, or custom text
- `location` is the actual search area
- The public actor always returns business details
- Review collection is optional and controlled by operator defaults

### 🧾 Input

- `query`: search phrase to run in Google Maps
- `locationType`: choose `city`, `zip`, `country`, or `custom`
- `location`: city name, ZIP/postal code, country, or custom text
- `maxPlaces`: number of places to collect

### 📦 Output

- One dataset item per place
- Compact overview rows in the Apify Console dataset view
- Nested `reviews` array only when reviews are enabled
- A run summary stored in `OUTPUT`

### ✨ Examples

```json
{
  "query": "restaurants",
  "locationType": "city",
  "location": "New York",
  "maxPlaces": 20
}
````

```json
{
  "query": "dentists",
  "locationType": "zip",
  "location": "78701",
  "maxPlaces": 10
}
```

```json
{
  "query": "hotels",
  "locationType": "country",
  "location": "United States",
  "maxPlaces": 15
}
```

```json
{
  "query": "coffee shops",
  "locationType": "custom",
  "location": "Brooklyn near Prospect Park",
  "maxPlaces": 10
}
```

### 🛠️ Notes

- Concurrency, pacing, language, country defaults, review limits, and map-center fallback settings are handled internally for operators.
- This actor uses undocumented Google Maps request endpoints and positional-array responses.
- Google can change those payloads without notice, so some maintenance may be required over time.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "restaurants",
    "locationType": "city",
    "location": "New York",
    "maxPlaces": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("apexdata/google-maps-leads-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "query": "restaurants",
    "locationType": "city",
    "location": "New York",
    "maxPlaces": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("apexdata/google-maps-leads-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
