Google Maps Business Scraper

🧭 What is Google Maps Business Scraper?

Google Maps Business Scraper is a data extraction tool that enables you to scrape Google Maps place details quickly. It is essentially a faster version of the original 📍 Google Maps Scraper. Just enter a list of Google Maps URLs or place IDs and scrape various data like place names, contact info, geolocation, category, placeid, and more at great speed and predictable price 🏎💨.

📍 What data can this Google Places Scraper extract?

This Google Maps Business Scraper is capable of extracting data such as:

Data this Google Places Scraper can not extract

This web scraper does not extract the following data from Google places:

• Reviews ⭐️
• Web results 🌐
• Images 🌆
• Order by (Place an order) 🥟

To scrape reviews, try ⭐️ Google Maps Reviews Scraper which can extract review text and reviewer's info for each place. If you prefer other input options such as geolocation, search queries, and categories, try our fast 🏎 Google Maps Extractor. And to scrape all details from Google places, try the original 📍 Google Maps Scraper. This one is slower, but it extracts all available data.

💸 How much does it cost to scrape Google business data?

This scraper uses the Pay-per-result pricing model, so your costs can be easily calculated: it will cost you $4 to scrape 1,000 search results, so $0.004 per item. It is possible to limit the number of output items in input configuration, under the last Options section.

Apify provides you with $5 free usage credits every month on the Apify Free plan, so you can get over 1,250 results worth of Google business data for free for those credits.

But if you need more data or to extract data regularly, you should get an Apify subscription. We recommend our $49/month Starter plan — you could get up to 12,500 Google places results every month.
