## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Maps Leads Scraper

Extract business leads from Google Maps at scale. Enrich each lead with emails,
phone numbers, and social media links crawled directly from the business website.

### Features

- Search Google Maps by any query ("restaurants in Brooklyn", "dentists Berlin")
- Extract name, category, address, phone, website, rating, reviews, place ID, coordinates
- Optional website crawl: emails, additional phones, Facebook / Instagram / LinkedIn / X / YouTube / TikTok
- Global — works for any country/language via the `language` input

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Google Maps queries, e.g. `["coffee shops in Brooklyn"]` |
| `maxPlacesPerSearch` | int | Cap per query (default 20, max 200) |
| `language` | string | Two-letter language code (default `en`) |
| `enrichWithWebsite` | bool | Crawl each business website for contact info (default `true`) |
| `maxPagesPerWebsite` | int | Pages per site when enrichment on (default 3) |

### Output

One dataset record per business with only the fields we could populate:
`title`, `categoryName`, `address`, `phone`, `website`, `totalScore`,
`reviewsCount`, `placeId`, `url`, `location`, `emails`, `websitePhones`,
`socialLinks`, `contactPageUrl`, `scrapedAt`.

### FAQ

**Q: Do I need a proxy?**
A: Not for most searches. The actor retries with Apify Residential automatically
if the first attempt fails.

**Q: Why are some fields missing?**
A: We omit fields we couldn't populate rather than emit `null`. Every field
in your record has real data.

**Q: Does enrichment slow things down?**
A: Website crawl adds ~1-3s per business. Disable `enrichWithWebsite` for a
Maps-only run.

# Actor input Schema

## `category` (type: `string`):

Predefined Google Maps business category (e.g., bakery, dentist, plumber, roofing, lawyer). Used when `keyword` is not provided.
## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Custom keyword search. If provided, this takes priority over `category` (e.g., 'boutique coffee', 'pet grooming').
## `state` (type: `string`):

US state filter (2-letter code) or 'All' for nationwide. Used to scope the geographic search.
## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of business leads to return (1–10,000).
## `extractEmails` (type: `boolean`):

If on, crawls each business's website to extract email addresses and social media links. Adds ~3–10s per lead but provides much richer contact data.
## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Optional array of free-text Google Maps queries. If provided, overrides the category/keyword+state combination.

```json
{
  "category": "dentist",
  "keyword": "pizza",
  "state": "CA",
  "max_results": 10,
  "extractEmails": true
}

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "category": "bakery",
    "state": "CA",
    "max_results": 10,
    "extractEmails": true
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/google-maps-leads").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
