Google Maps Business Listings Scraper

Search Google Maps for businesses by category, service, and location, then receive one structured dataset item per listing. This actor is useful for local market research, prospecting, location analysis, and building business directories from publicly visible listing information.

Features

• Search by a natural-language query such as cafes in New York.
• Collect a configurable number of listings from the results.
• Return business names, addresses, websites, phone numbers, categories, hours, ratings, and review counts when displayed.
• Preserve Google Maps service indicators for shopping, pickup, and delivery.
• Export predictable JSON dataset records through the standard Apify dataset.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQuery	String	Yes	turkish restaurants in Toronto, Canada	Google Maps search phrase, including a location when useful.
totalResults	Integer	Yes	1	Maximum number of listings to open and collect; allowed range is 1–100.
appendResults	Boolean	No	false	Pass append mode to the scraper's temporary CSV output. The run's dataset records are always appended by Apify.

Example input

{
  "searchQuery": "coffee shops in Seattle, Washington",
  "totalResults": 5,
  "appendResults": false
}

Output

The actor pushes one dataset item per successfully opened listing. Fields can be empty when a business does not publish them or Google Maps changes the page layout.

How to run

1. Enter a Google Maps search phrase.
2. Set the maximum number of results.
3. Start the actor and open the default dataset when the run completes.
4. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or another supported format.

Limitations

• Results depend on the listings and fields publicly shown for the query at run time.
• Google Maps can personalize, reorder, or limit search results, so repeated runs may differ.
• Some fields may be blank, and the actor does not invent missing business information.
• Page structure and anti-automation behavior can change; a run may return fewer records than requested.
• Use collected data in accordance with Google Maps terms, applicable law, and your organization's data-use policies.
