# Google Maps Business Lead Scraper

**Use case:** 

Build a lead list from Google Maps: restaurants and cafes in Austin, Texas, with name, address, phone, website, rating, categories and emails from each business website. Closed places and listings without a website are skipped. Swap in your own search terms and city and run it on demand, on a schedule, or via API. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or send to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, and n8n.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Maps Scraper](https://apify.com/calm_builder/google-maps-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/calm_builder/google-maps-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## 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-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`).
