# Google Maps Negative Reviews Scraper - 1 & 2 Star Reviews

**Use case:** 

Get only the 1 and 2 star Google Maps reviews of the places you choose, newest first. Each review comes with its full text, date, rating, reviewer, owner reply and photos. Use it to spot recurring complaints, check how a business answers criticism, or research competitors' weak points. Paste place links or change the search and city; add a keyword such as rude or cold to narrow it down.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/calm_builder/google-maps-reviews-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
