Google Maps Scraper

Type what you want to search for as you would write it into the Google Maps search bar, e.g. restaurant or pet shelter.
Putting location directly into search terms, e.g. restaurant Pittsburgh, is not recommended because you will only get max 120 results per search (Google's scrolling limit on a single search) but it can be done for speed. You can also use direct place IDs here in the format place_id:ChIJ8_JBApXMDUcRDzXcYUPTGUY

Free text location definition. If you use Zip codes, you must use them with country name (not city name!). Use OpenStreeMap webapp for visual validation of the exact covered area. You can always fallback to Geolocation section where you can select country, state, county, city and postalCode. Keep in mind that Locatiion has always preference of these.

This is the maximum number of results you will obtain for each search term or URL.
A higher number will take longer to scrape. If you want to scrape all places available, set this value to 9999999.

Results details will show in this language.

Maximum number of images per place. If you fill in '0' or leave the field empty, no images will be scraped. To extract all images, type 99999 into the field. The higher the number, the slower the search.

The results will only show data from the search page, but no other details. This speeds up the scrape significantly. For each place it extracts isAdvertisement, title, placeId, location, address, neighborhood, street, city, postalCode, state, countryCode, categories, url

Extract the bottom "Web results" section of place data. It slightly increases compute and proxy usage.

This is the maximum number of reviews per place. If you fill in '0' or leave the field empty, no reviews will be scraped. To extract all reviews, type '99999' into the field. Each output place item can contain maximum 5000 reviews so in case more reviews are extracted, a duplicate place is stored with the next 5000 reviews and so on. Enabling this feature might slow the search down.

If checked, the scraper will produce one row of results for each review. The other information about the place is copied into each row. Choose this if you need CSV-friendly results.

Format should be YYYY-MM-DD, e.g., 2022-02-20

Define the order in which reviews should be sorted.

If you fill in a keyword(s), only reviews containing the keyword(s) will be scraped. If you leave the field empty, all reviews will be scraped.

If checked, the scraper will extract the reviewer's name - please, keep in mind the above personal data warning.

You don't need to set this parameter. A good value is chosen automatically based on the chosen location, see readme for more info. Changing the zoom manually may cause the cost to vary significantly.

Set the country where the search should be carried out, e.g., United States. Warning: if used without city or other geolocation parameters, the scraper will scan the whole country!
Currently, the scraper doesn't work well for full-country searching of sparsely populated countries like the United States or Russia. For these, search city by city or focus on populated states.

Enter the city where the search should be carried out, e.g., Pittsburgh. Warning: just add a single city and don't add state or country here.

Set a state where the search should be carried out, e.g. Massachusetts (mainly for US addresses).

Set the US county where the search should be carried out, e.g., Madison.

Set the postal code of the area where the search should be carried out, e.g., 10001. Select a country as well to ensure the correct postal code is used.
Warning: you can only input one postal code at a time.

Use this field to define the exact search area if other search area parameters don't work for you. See readme or our guide for details.

Restrict what places are scraped based on matching their title with provided search term

Copy a Google Maps URL and paste it here. Leave empty if you have already filled the Search term field. The only valid format for URLs contains either /maps/search or /maps/place, e.g., https://www.google.com/maps/search/falafel+new+york/..

Will scrape all places seen on the map. This depends on a lot of the zoom so for more places, increase the zoom. Doesn't work together with URLs
