# Google Maps Geo Grid Scraper Maldives (`badruddeen/google-maps-geo-grid-scraper-maldives`) Actor Scrape Google Maps places and reviews in the Maldives using a geo-grid system. Extracts business name, rating, address, phone, website, coordinates, and up to N reviews per place (sorted by newest). Maldives coordinate grid for wide coverage with reliable, structured data output. - **URL**: https://apify.com/badruddeen/google-maps-geo-grid-scraper-maldives.md - **Developed by:** [Badruddeen Naseem](https://apify.com/badruddeen) (community) - **Categories:** Travel, Automation, Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 2 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 1 bookmarks - **User rating**: 5.00 out of 5 stars ## Pricing from $30.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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.

Extracts business details, ratings, addresses, contact info, and customer reviews using a reliable geo-grid system. --- #### Features - Reliable scraping using real browser automation - Geo-grid based coverage focused on Maldives - Extracts business information + up to 30 reviews per place - Sorts reviews by newest - Clean and structured JSON output --- #### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------------------------|---------|--------------------------------|-----------| | `keywords` | Array | `["hotel", "resort", "guest house"]` | Search keywords (one per line) | | `maxPlacesPerSearch` | Integer | 20 | Max places per search point (max 60) | | `maxReviewsPerPlace` | Integer | 8 | Max reviews per place (max 30) | | `maxConcurrency` | Integer | 1 | Number of parallel browsers (1-2 recommended) | --- #### Input Example ```json { "keywords": ["hotel", "resort", "guest house", "spa"], "maxPlacesPerSearch": 15, "maxReviewsPerPlace": 10, "maxConcurrency": 1 } ```` #### Output Structure One record is saved per business: ```json { "name": "Four Seasons Resort Maldives", "rating": 4.8, "reviews_count": 1247, "address": "North MalΓ© Atoll, Maldives", "phone": "+960 123-4567", "website": "https://www.fourseasons.com/maldives", "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...", "lat": "4.1753", "lng": "73.5090", "reviews_count_scraped": 10, "reviews": [ { "id": "abc123", "user": "John Doe", "text": "Amazing resort with crystal clear water...", "rating": 5, "date": "2 weeks ago" } ], "scrapedAt": "2026-05-31T08:01:00.000Z" } ``` *** #### Billing: You are charged $0.03 for each place extracted. One result consists of a single place record, including its metadata and associated reviews. 1,000 results = $30. #### Usage Tips Start with small limits (maxPlacesPerSearch: 10, maxReviewsPerPlace: 5) when testing. Use maxConcurrency: 1 for best stability. Good keywords: hotel, resort, guest house, restaurant, spa. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Keywords to search on Google Maps (one per line) ## `maxPlacesPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of places to extract from each search grid point (recommended: 5-20) ## `maxReviewsPerPlace` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of reviews to scrape from each place ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of parallel browsers (1 is safest, 2 = faster but higher risk of blocking) ## `safeMode` (type: `boolean`): Enables lightweight execution mode for Apify testing (used for CI / build validation). ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "hotel", "resort", "guest house" ], "maxPlacesPerSearch": 20, "maxReviewsPerPlace": 8, "maxConcurrency": 1, "safeMode": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped Google Maps places and their reviews # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("badruddeen/google-maps-geo-grid-scraper-maldives").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
