FAQ

Does it need cookies or an API key? No. The scraper is fully self-contained.

Will it work on the Apify free plan? Yes - no proxy or paid feature is required.

How many results can I get? Up to ~120 per query (Google's own limit on a single search feed).

Will the highlights match for every place? No. Google only shows amenity pills on certain card types (notably hotels). Restaurants, cafés, and attractions usually have a short description instead.

Does it support non-English Maps interfaces? Yes - pick a language from the dropdown.
