Google Places Place Reviews Scraper

Get user reviews for a place by place_id. Each review includes the rating, full review text, author info (with photo URL, total review count, and Local Guide level), timestamps, attached photos, and any owner response (owner_response is null when the owner has not replied, otherwise an object with text, datetime_utc, timestamp, time and language). Sort by most relevant, newest, highest ranking, or lowest ranking. Set translate_reviews=true to translate all returned reviews into the requested language, and get_sentiment=true to add AI emotion analysis to each review. Each page returns up to 10 reviews, up to 10 pages per call.

Features

• Real-time Google Places data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Pricing

This Actor is billed per page of results — $0.01 per page.

• Results come in pages. Use the pages input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–10); more pages means more results.
• You pay $0.01 for each page you fetch, so pages: 3 costs $0.03 and pages: 1 costs $0.01.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds, or when it fails because what you asked for was looked up and doesn’t exist, is private, or isn’t valid: that costs one page ($0.01). Other failed runs are free.
