No, there is no official Google Maps API that provides the comprehensive data extraction capabilities offered by this scraper. While Google offers the Places API, it caps search results at only 60 places per query and costs $200 for 28,500 map loads per month. This Google Maps Scraper bypasses the 120 places per area limitation and provides unlimited results without rate limits or quotas, plus additional data like popular times histograms that aren't available in the official API.
Yes, you can try the Google Maps Scraper for free using Apify's free tier. The platform provides free credits to test the scraper's capabilities before committing to a paid plan, allowing you to extract sample data and evaluate the quality of results for your specific use case.
You can extract comprehensive business data including names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, review counts, categories, opening hours, coordinates, images, menu links, price brackets, popular times, amenities, accessibility information, reviewer details, questions and answers, booking links, and over 50 other data points. The scraper also supports enrichment add-ons for company contact details and business leads with LinkedIn profiles and email addresses.
Yes, it is legal to scrape Google Maps data as long as you are extracting publicly available information, which covers most data on Google Maps. However, you should respect boundaries regarding personal data and intellectual property regulations. Only scrape personal data if you have a legitimate reason, and ensure compliance with Google's Terms of Use and applicable data protection laws.
Getting started is simple:
- Sign up for an Apify account,
- Navigate to the Google Maps Scraper,
- Configure your input with either search terms and location or direct Google Maps URLs,
- Customize extraction settings like maximum results and data fields,
- Run the scraper and download results in JSON, CSV, Excel, or other formats. You can also integrate the scraper with other tools via API or webhooks for automated workflows.
