Google Maps Scraper

Scrape Google Maps places and reviews for lead generation, local SEO, and market research.

Extract business name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, categories, opening hours, and GPS coordinates. Optionally pull reviews (charged separately) and contact enrichment (emails + social profiles).

Compatible field names with popular Google Maps Actors so existing Make / Zapier / n8n workflows keep working.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Google API key?
No.

Why are reviews extra?
Each review is a separate scrape and is billed via the review-scraped event only when Include reviews is enabled.

How do I get only businesses?
Leave includeReviews off (default). Dataset view Places shows business rows only.

Are field names compatible with other Maps scrapers?
Yes. Core fields match common conventions: title, placeId, totalScore, reviewsCount, phone, website, openingHours, social arrays.

Country vs city?
Use gl for country. Use locationQuery (and optional ll) for city/area.
