Google Maps Scraper

📍 What is Google Maps Scraper?

This tool expands Google Maps data extraction beyond the limitations of the official Google Places API. Simply add a search query, category, location, coordinates, or URL to scrape Google place details like contact info, ratings, reviews, and more. Whether you're targeting a few places or an entire region, this tool will get the job done.

• Scrape areas using search or target specific places one by one
• Scrape Google Maps search by URLs, search queries or Google place categories
• Extract location, contact details, opening hours, popular times, price category, placeIDs, and other essential Google places data
• Extract reviews, images, questions, accessibility, gas prices, web results, and other additional Google places data
• Define area to scrape in multiple ways: free text, defined geolocation parameters, using pairs of coordinates, or using Google Maps URL
• Bypass the limitation of Google Maps of displaying (and scraping) no more than 120 places per area

🗺 How can I use Google Maps Scraper?

This Google Maps Scraper allows you to extract place data from Google Maps in two ways: place by place using URLs or placeIDs, or entire areas by search and location parameters. With this tool, you will be able to scrape a specific list of places, just a certain category, or even an entire country!

Feature category	Feature description	Examples of using
Extract data from specific places	🔗 By Google place URL 💳 By Google place IDs	- Add a Google place URL to start scraping - Add a list of Google place IDs to start scraping
Extract places by areas	🗝 By search query 🎢 By category 📍 By location 📐 By coordinates 🔗 By Google Maps search URL	- Use any search query like on Google Maps website - Scrape places by category (e.g., "dentist", "duty free store", or "gym") - Specify areas for scraping by geolocation parameters (country, state, city, US county, or zipcode area) - Define areas for scraping using coordinates
General settings	🌎 Set language 🎯 Match specific name ⭐️ Filter out places by rating ⏩ Skip closed places ⬇️ Export data in various formats 🦾 Get data through API 🗺 Visualized map of scraped places	- Scrape only places that are 3 stars and higher - Choose to skip places that are temporarily or permanently closed -Set up the language of Google Maps scraping, e.g. scrape Google Maps results in Spanish - Scrape a franchise or only places that match a specific name (e.g., PizzaHut) - Customize the automatic zooming on maps for more efficient scraping

Here's the amount of data you'd get for a single scraped place (this one 📍 so you can compare). See many more output examples in Output examples ⬇️).

💰 How much will scraping Google Maps cost you?

With our new pay per event (PPE) model, you will pay about $4 for 1,000 places as a base rate which is highly competitive. We've also significantly increased the speed of the pay-per-event Google Maps Scraper, so all users will experience up to 2X the speed.

Pricing Breakdown

Type	Event	Price	Details
Standard	Actor start	$0.007 per run	Flat fee for starting an Actor run
Standard	Place scraped	$0.004 per place	Charged per place successfully scraped from Google Maps Base charge: $4 for 1,000 places
Add-on	Filter applied	$0.001 per filter per place	- Applies when using filters (category, rating, website, title match) - Multiple categories count as one event - Example: 100 places × 2 filters = $0.20
Add-on	Additional place details	$0.002 per place	Covers extra details like table reservation data, web results, or max questions
Add-on	Contact details	$0.002 per place	Applies when scraping emails, social media profiles from business websites Recommended: Use website filter to optimize costs
Add-on	Review scraped	$0.0005 per review	Charged per review extracted Example: 1,000 reviews = $0.50
Add-on	Image scraped	$0.0005 per image	Applies to each image retrieved, including metadata

You also might want to consider using our other scrapers - 🏎 Google Maps Extractor ($6/1,000 places) or 💼 Google Maps Business Scraper ($4/1,000 places). They offer fewer features, but are lightweight, fast, and come with predictable pricing.

⬇️ Input example

The input for Google Maps Scraper should be either a Google Maps URL or a location + search term combo. You can also set up extracting any details on top such as images, reviews, amenities, and so on.

You can set up the input programmatically or use the fields in scraper’s interface:

How to use search terms and categories

Search terms

Each search term is scraped separately for the whole area. Thus 10 search terms will take 10 times as long as a single search term. Use only a smaller count of non-overlapping search terms to optimize the scraping process. A big list of very similar search terms will increase the runtime without providing much additional data.

Example of a good list of search terms: [restaurant, hotel, grocery, pharmacy] Example of a bad list of search terms: [restaurant, restaurants, chinese restaurant, cafe, coffee, coffee shop, takeout]

Google search results often include categories adjacent to your search, e.g. restaurant might also capture some cafe or bar places, but you will get more results if you use them as separate search terms. There isn't a hard rule on when to use a single search term or multiple, you might need a test run on a small location for your particular search terms and make a tradeoff. In any case, avoid very similar search terms.

Categories

Using categories is dangerous!

Search terms can introduce false positive results (e.g. categories you don't want). Categories can be used to narrow down the results only to the ones you select.

Categories are dangerous because they can cause false negatives, excluding places you want in the results. Google has thousands of categories and there are many synonymous ones. Moreover, the categories are selected by the place owners so they can always introduce arbitrary ones. You must list all categories you want to match, including all synonyms! E.g. Divorce lawyer, Divorce service, and Divorce attorney are distinct categories and some places might have only one of them and you have to include that one.

To help with this, our Actor tries to increase the chance of a match:

• If any category of a place (each can have several categories) matches any category from your input, it will be included.
• If all words from your input are contained in a category name, it will be included. E.g. restaurant will match Chinese restaurant and Pan Asian restaurant.

If categories are used without search terms, they will be used both as search terms and as category filters. However, for the above reasons, using categories without search terms is not recommended.

⬆️ Output example

The results will be wrapped into a dataset which you can find in the Storage tab. Note that the output is organized in table and tabs for viewing convenience:

Once the run is finished, you can download the dataset in various data formats (JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML). Note that you can always set up additional fields to filter out specific Google Maps data before you decide to export it.

This is what you’d get for:

🏩 External places (hotels)

Google sometimes shows these places when searching in certain locations, mainly for hotels. They are however not regular places with pins on the map and offer only some of the regular output fields. These places are marked with 3 extra output fields:

{
  "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Al Eairy Furnished Apartments Al Madinah 9/@24.4857006,39.6083984,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!3m8!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d24.4857006!4d39.6083984!16s%2Fg%2F11pkhzvq1s!17BQ0FF",
  "isExternalServicePlace": true,
  "externalServiceProvider": "SuperTravel",
  "externalId": "/g/11pkhzvq1s"
}

Visualizing scraped results

Google Maps Scraper provides a visual map page that renders the scraped places. You can zoom in and out to for different granulatity. The map is shown in the "Live View" tab on the actor run page and also stored in the Key-Value Store as results-map.html record.

🧑‍🏫 How do I use Google Maps Scraper?

To understand how to set up and run the scraper, you can follow our step-by-step guide or watch this short video tutorial ▷ on YouTube:

📍📡 Location vs. Geolocation

Location, country, state, county, city, and postal code

Using free text in 📍 Location field should normally be enough. But you can instead turn to 📡 Geolocation parameters field and use a combination of country, state, county, city, and postalCode in if 📍 Location isn’t specific enough for your search.

This scraper uses Open Street Map for geolocation API. You can easily check the location matching your geolocation input on the official Open Street Map page.

📡 Geolocation parameters section

This section will teach you to customize geolocation features, overcome the 120 results limit or skip large areas such as lakes or forests.

You can also follow this video guide or this step-by-step explanation.

🔎 Automatic zooming to overcome the Google Maps limit

If you look at Google Maps website, you’ll notice that when zooming out, you can see less of Google places pins. You'll also notice that zooming in on smaller areas (making zoom higher) can uncover many of those hidden pins. The advantage of higher zoom is that it can find - and scrape - more places (shown as pins). However, locations with higher zoom also take significantly longer to scrape and are more computationally expensive. Generally, there are diminishing returns for increasing zoom.

By default, you don’t have to set up this parameter. The scraper automatically zooms on the location on Google Maps to ensure the most efficient scraping based on the size of the scraped area. But of course, you can override the default zoom. zoom can be any number between 1 (a whole globe) and 21 (a few houses). Currently, example zoom values for various locations are (maximum for automatic is 17):

• United States - 10 zoom (10,371,139 km2)
• Germany - 12 zoom (380,878 km2)
• London - 15 zoom (1,595 km2)
• Manhattan - 16 zoom (87.5 km2)
• Soho - 17 zoom (0.35 km2)

If you need guidance on how to run the Google Maps Scraper with zoom, follow our step-by-step tutorial 🔗 or video guide ▷ on YouTube.

🛰 Custom search area

If your location can’t be found on Google Maps or you want to customize it for a specific area, you can use the Custom search area function. You’ll have to provide coordinate pairs for an area and the scraper will create start URLs out of them. As an example, see the geojson field in Nominatim Api (example of Cambridge in Great Britain).

There are several types of search area geometry that you can use in Google Maps Scraper: Polygon, MultiPolygon and Point (Circle). All of them follow the official Geo Json RFC and all types are supported. We’ve found the polygons and circle to be the most useful ones when it comes to scraping.

Note that the order of longitude and latitude is reversed in GeoJson 🔄 compared to the Google Maps website. The first field must be longitude ↕️, the second field must be latitude ↔️.

We recommend using Geojson.io to create customGeolocation of any type/shape in correct format. You can watch this video on how to use it together with our scraper.

💠 Polygon

The most common type is a polygon, which is a set of points that define the scraped area. Note that the first and last pair of coordinates must be identical (to close the polygon). This example covers most of the city of London, UK:

{
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [
        [
            [
                // Must be the same as last one
                -0.322813, // Longitude
                51.597165 // Latitude
            ],
            [
                -0.314990,
                51.388023
            ],
            [
                0.060493,
                51.389199
            ],
            [
                0.051936,
                51.600360
            ],
            [
                // Must be the same as the first one
                -0.322813,
                51.597165
            ]
        // ...
        ]
    ]
}

💠💠 MultiPolygon

MultiPolygon can combine more polygons that are not continuous together (can be an island + part of mainland). Same as with the polygon, make sure the first and the last pair of coordinates in each polygon are identical.

{
    "type": "MultiPolygon",
    "coordinates": [
        [ // first polygon
            [
                [
                    12.0905752, // Longitude
                    50.2524063  // Latitude
                ],
                [
                    12.1269337,
                    50.2324336
                ],
                // ...
            ]
        ],
        [
            // second polygon
            // ...
        ]
    ]
}

🔘 Circle

For a circle, we can use the Point type with our custom parameter radiusKm. Don't forget to change the radius to fit your needs. This example covers the city of Basel in Switzerland:

{
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": ["7.5503", "47.5590"],
    "radiusKm": 8
}

✨ How to choose the best tool to scrape Google Maps?

📍 Google Maps Scraper was Apify's original solution for scraping Google Maps. Developed in 2016, this web scraper can extract all data from Google places but it was built with pay-per-platform-usage pricing model. Despite its great capabilities, due to its legacy Google Maps Scraper might get too slow for some use cases and be less predictable price-wise (hence, the paragraph above ⬆️).

To address this concern, in 2024 we developed two new Google Maps scrapers that use a much faster scraping method and a more predictable price-per-result pricing model: 🏎 Google Maps Extractor and 💼 Google Maps Business Scraper. The speed of these new scrapers can get up to 50 times faster than that of the original Google Maps Scraper. All three scrapers are being continuously improved, but they cover slightly different use cases. We encourage you to explore them and pick the right Google Maps scraper for you:

❓FAQ

How does Google Maps Scraper work?

It works exactly as if you were searching through Google Maps and copying information from each page you find. It opens the Google Maps website, goes to a specified location, then writes your search query into the search bar. Then it scrolls down until it reaches the end of the scroll bar or maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch. It enqueues all the places as separate pages and then copypastes all visible data into an organized document. This process is repeated for many map pages inside the input location. To understand the process fully, just try it out in your browser - the scraper does exactly the same thing, only much faster.

What are the disadvantages of the Google Maps API?

With the Google Maps API, you get $200 worth of credit usage every month free of charge. That means 28,500 map loads per month. However, the Google Maps API caps your search results to 60, regardless of the radius you specify. So, if you want to scrape data for bars in New York, for example, you'll get results for only 60 of the thousands of bars in the area.

Google Maps Scraper imposes no rate limits or quotas and provides more cost-effective, comprehensive results, and also scrapes histograms for popular times, which aren't available in the official API.

Can I scrape places from multiple locations?

While Google Maps Scraper supports only single location query, you can use Google Maps Scraper Orchestrator to scrape multiple locations with a single list. It will automatically run the Google Maps Scraper for each location in the list and merge the results. It also fully uses your Apify account memory for maximum speed. If you want to use only Google Maps Scraper, you can add multiple locations using customGeolocation with multiple polygons.

How can I increase the speed of the scraper?

You can increase the run memory up to 32 GB per run. To speed up the scraping even more, you can run several runs at once to fully utilize all your account memory. To make this simpler, you can use the Google Maps Scraper Orchestrator to split locations or search terms over multiple runs, deduplicate the results and collect them to a single dataset.

What Google Maps data can I scrape?

With this Google Maps scraper, what you see is what you get. You can use this tool to get the following data from Google Maps:

🔗 Title/name	📝 Subtitle, category, place ID, and URL
📍 Address	🌍 Location, plus code and exact coordinates
☎️ Phone	🌐 Website, if available
🏷 Menu	💲 Price bracket
🔒 Temporarily or permanently closed status	⛽️ Gas prices
⭐️ Average rating (totalScore)	📊 Review count and review distribution
➕ List of detailed characteristics (additionalInfo)	📸 List of images
🧑‍🍳 Opening hours	⌚️ Popular times - histogram & live occupancy
🏨 Hotel booking URL and price + nearby hotels	🔍 People also search
🙋 Updates from customers & Questions and answers	🌐 Web results

Can I use the Google Maps scraper to extract Google reviews?

Yes. This Google Maps scraper also supports the extraction of detailed information about reviews on Google Maps. Note that Personal data extraction about reviewers is also possible but has to be explicitly enabled in input (see the Legality of scraping Google Maps section).

📝 Review text	📅 Published date
🌟 Stars	🆔 Review ID & URL
✅ Response from the owner - text	📷 List of review images
💬 Review context	📊 Detailed rating per service
🧛 Reviewer’s name	✍️ Reviewer’s number of reviews
🖼 Reviewer’s ID, URL & photo	👋 IsLocalGuide

How can I get one review per row in the output?

If you need to view reviews in a table with each review in a separate row, you can click on the Reviews (if any) Export dataset view.

To use this view via API, you need to add &view=reviews to the dataset export URL. E.g. https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?clean=true&format=json&view=reviews

If you don't use the Reviews (if any) view, each output place item will contain a maximum of 5,000 reviews (in table format, it means a lot of columns). So if there are more reviews for that place, a duplicate place will be stored with the next 5,000 reviews, and so on. For instance, in a case of 50,000 reviews, the resulting dataset will have 10 items for the same place. We have this limitation due to the size limit of a single item in the Apify dataset.
