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.

Get names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews, categories, hours, and coordinates from any search query and location worldwide. ### What It Extracts | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Business name | | `address` | Full address | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Business website URL | | `rating` | Star rating (1-5) | | `reviewsCount` | Total number of reviews | | `categories` | Business categories/tags | | `hours` | Opening hours | | `latitude` | GPS latitude | | `longitude` | GPS longitude | | `placeId` | Google Maps place ID | | `googleMapsUrl` | Direct link to the business | | `imageUrl` | Business photo URL | | `searchQuery` | Original search query | ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQueries` | array | ✅ | Business types to search (e.g. "dentist", "restaurant") | | `location` | string | ✅ | City, state, or zip (e.g. "Austin, TX") | | `maxResults` | integer | ❌ | Max businesses per query (default: 20, max: 1000) | ### Example Input ```json { "searchQueries": ["dentist", "dental clinic"], "location": "Austin, TX", "maxResults": 50 } ```` ### Output Example ```json { "title": "Austin Dental Care", "address": "123 Main St, Austin, TX 78701", "phone": "+1 512-555-0123", "website": "https://austindentalcare.com", "rating": "4.8", "reviewsCount": "342", "categories": "Dentist, Dental clinic", "hours": "Mon-Fri: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM", "latitude": 30.2672, "longitude": -97.7431, "placeId": "ChIJ...", "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...", "imageUrl": "https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/...", "searchQuery": "dentist" } ``` ### Use Cases - **Lead generation** — build B2B contact lists by business type and location - **Market research** — analyze competitors, ratings, and reviews - **AI data pipelines** — feed structured business data into LLMs and RAG systems - **Local SEO** — audit business listings across regions ### Features - Simple input: just search queries and location - Automatic deduplication by place ID - Per-query result tracking - Scroll-to-load for large result sets - Error recovery and partial data salvage - Headless Playwright browser # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Business types to search for (e.g. 'dentist', 'restaurant', 'auto repair'). Combined with location to form a Google Maps search. ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, or zip code (e.g. 'Austin, TX', '90210', 'Leuwinanggung, Depok'). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to scrape per search query. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "dentist", "restaurant" ], "location": "Austin, TX", "maxResults": 20 } ``` # 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": [ "dentist", "restaurant" ], "location": "Austin, TX", "maxResults": 20 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("blaspat/google-maps-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 📖?
