🚀 Overview

This actor searches Google Maps for places matching your search terms in one or more starting locations. When you search for places on Google Maps, our tool doesn’t just look around a single point — it intelligently expands the search across a wider area. It automatically divides large areas into smaller grids, handles pagination and scrolling, and extracts all visible place details into structured JSON output while managing Google Maps’ dynamic interface.

💡 Tips to Maximize Search Results

• Start with a small dataset to test and validate your results.
• Use precise location names, such as Manhattan, NY, USA instead of NY, USA.
• Keep at least 3 km of distance between each location.
• Set a reasonable maximum number of places to scrape per location and search term.
  For example, when searching for restaurants in Manhattan, NY, you might set the limit to 100 or more,
  while in less populated areas like Nebraska, it should be much lower.
