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 ## 📍 Google Maps Business Scraper Extract comprehensive business details from Google Maps at scale. Search by queries + location and get rich data for each result — name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, categories, hours, coordinates, and more. ### What It Extracts - Business name - Full address - Phone number - Website URL - Star rating - Review count - Categories - Business hours - Latitude / longitude coordinates - Place ID - Google Maps URL - Business photo URL - Original search query ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | array | ✅ | Business search queries (e.g. "restaurants", "dentists") | | `location` | string | ❌ | Location to search in (e.g. "New York, NY") | | `maxResults` | integer | ❌ | Max businesses per query (default: 20, max: 100) | | `includeHours` | boolean | ❌ | Include business hours (default: true) | | `includeCategories` | boolean | ❌ | Include categories (default: true) | | `includeCoordinates` | boolean | ❌ | Include lat/lng coordinates (default: true) | ### Use Cases - **Lead generation** — build prospect lists with contact info and websites - **Market research** — analyze businesses in a geographic area - **Competitor analysis** — compare ratings, categories, and hours - **Data enrichment** — add business details to your CRM or database - **SEO research** — find businesses with online presence gaps # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of business search queries (e.g. 'restaurants', 'coffee shops', 'dentists'). ## `location` (type: `string`): Location to search in (e.g. 'New York, NY', 'London, UK'). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to scrape per search query. ## `includeHours` (type: `boolean`): Extract operating hours for each business. ## `includeCategories` (type: `boolean`): Extract business categories (e.g. 'Restaurant', 'Italian'). ## `includeCoordinates` (type: `boolean`): Extract latitude and longitude coordinates. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "restaurants", "coffee shops" ], "location": "", "maxResults": 20, "includeHours": true, "includeCategories": true, "includeCoordinates": true } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # 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 = { "searchQueries": [ "restaurants", "coffee shops" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("blaspat/google-maps-business-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
