Google Maps Scraper — Local Leads, Contacts & Place Data

Extract Google Maps business listings at scale — name, address, phone, website + emails + social links, rating, review count, category, latitude/longitude, plus-code, price level, structured opening hours, amenity tags, owner-verified flag, and more. This Google Maps scraper returns 32 fields per place, each carrying a parse_confidence score and a parse_path flag, so you always know your data is clean — not silently broken.

Built for lead generation, local SEO audits, market research, and competitor analysis across any city, region, or business category. No Google API key, no external proxy key — it runs entirely on Apify's residential proxy.

Why this Google Maps scraper stands out

• Contact enrichment is INCLUDED, not a paid add-on. Flip on scrapeContacts and every record gains emails and social_links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, …) pulled from the business website. The market leader charges roughly +$2 per 1,000 places for emails/social as a separate add-on; here it is part of the same run at the same price.
• Breaks the 20-result ceiling. The actor auto-paginates (via the Maps !8i offset token) to return up to 300 places per query, deduplicated by place ID across pages — instead of the single 20-place page most lightweight scrapers stop at.
• A real B-plan against format drift. Google reshuffles its internal response layout between releases — the classic silent killer that makes index-based scrapers return zero results that look like an empty area. This actor has a secondary regex/structural parser that recovers places by stable feature-ID anchors when the primary array-index path drifts. Recovered rows are flagged (parse_path: "fallback", lower parse_confidence) so degradation is visible, never silent.
• Self-rotating against blocks. On a CAPTCHA / consent wall / poisoned IP, the actor rotates to a fresh residential exit and retries (up to 3×) before giving up on a query — and it never charges you for a blocked or empty query.
• 32 rich fields — including is_claimed (owner-verified), plus_code, opening_hours (structured weekday list), summary, description, price_level (numeric 0–4), place_id (ChIJ), amenities, and parse_confidence.
• No external key, $0 setup. Uses the Apify residential proxy pool that ships with your account. No Bright Data token, no Google Cloud project.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
queries	array of strings	✅	Search queries, e.g. ["coffee shops in San Francisco CA", "plumbers near Austin TX"]. Each query is paginated up to maxResults.
maxResults	integer	—	Max places per query, 1–300 (default 20). The actor paginates automatically. Google caps a single area near 120–300; split into narrower queries for fuller coverage.
scrapeContacts	boolean	—	Visit each business website to extract emails + social_links. Default false. Slower, but included at no extra charge.
language	string	—	Result language code (BCP-47). Default en.
country	string	—	Country code for result localisation. Default us.
proxyConfiguration	object	—	Apify proxy settings. Must be residential — Google Maps blocks datacenter IPs. Default: Apify RESIDENTIAL group. (Note: the GOOGLE_SERP group does not support Maps.)

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Google API key or a proxy key? No. The actor runs on the Apify residential proxy pool included with your account. No Google Cloud project, no Bright Data token, nothing external.

How many results per query? Up to 300, paginated automatically. Google itself limits a single area to roughly 120–300 places; for exhaustive coverage of a large city, split the search into narrower queries (per neighborhood or subcategory).

How does the email/social enrichment work? With scrapeContacts on, the actor fetches each business website (homepage and, if needed, /contact) over the same residential proxy and extracts public emails and social-profile links. Hit-rate depends on what the business publishes — some sites list nothing. Records without a website come back with contact_enriched: false.

Is the data stable? It's resilient by design. The primary parser reads Google's structured internal Maps JSON; if Google reshuffles the layout, a secondary regex parser recovers places by stable anchors and flags them (parse_path: "fallback"), and parse_confidence drops so you see the change before it silently corrupts your pipeline.

What does parse_confidence mean? A float 0.0–1.0. Values ≥ 0.9 mean all critical fields were extracted cleanly on the primary path. Lower values (or a regex_fallback_path warning) signal a format change worth checking.

Will I get charged for failed queries? No. The actor charges per place pushed to the dataset, after the push. Blocked, empty, or errored queries push nothing and cost nothing.

Pricing

Pay-per-result: $1.00 per 1,000 places ($0.001 per record) — contact enrichment included, no add-on fees. You pay only for places actually delivered to your dataset.
