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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Maps Scraper Extract detailed business information from Google Maps — no API key required. ### What you get For each business the Actor returns: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `name` | Business name | | `category` | Type of business (restaurant, hotel, etc.) | | `rating` | Average star rating (1–5) | | `reviewCount` | Total number of reviews | | `address` | Full street address | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Website URL | | `openingHours` | Opening hours for each day | | `coordinates` | Latitude & longitude | | `priceLevel` | Price range ($ to $$$$) | | `googleMapsUrl` | Direct link to Google Maps listing | | `reviews` | Customer reviews (optional) | ### Example output ```json { "name": "Café Louvre", "category": "Café", "rating": 4.3, "reviewCount": 2847, "address": "Národní 22, 110 00 Praha 1", "phone": "+420 224 930 949", "website": "https://cafelouvre.cz", "openingHours": [ { "day": "Monday", "hours": "8:00 AM – 11:00 PM" }, { "day": "Tuesday", "hours": "8:00 AM – 11:00 PM" } ], "coordinates": { "lat": 50.0818, "lng": 14.4162 }, "priceLevel": "$$", "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-16T12:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use cases - **Lead generation** — find businesses in your target market with contact details - **Market research** — analyze competitors, ratings, and reviews in any city - **Local SEO** — monitor Google Maps rankings and reviews - **Real estate** — find nearby amenities for property listings - **Travel & hospitality** — build local guides and directories ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | `restaurants in Prague` | What to search for | | `maxResults` | number | `20` | Max businesses to scrape (up to 500) | | `language` | string | `en` | Language for results | | `includeReviews` | boolean | `false` | Also scrape customer reviews | | `maxReviews` | number | `5` | Reviews per business (if enabled) | ### Example searches - `pizza restaurants in Berlin` - `dentists Manhattan New York` - `luxury hotels Paris France` - `gyms near Times Square` - `coworking spaces London` ### Cost & performance - \~20 results: **~2 minutes**, ~0.5 compute units - \~100 results: **~8 minutes**, ~2 compute units - \~500 results: **~35 minutes**, ~8 compute units ### Notes - Results depend on Google Maps availability in the target region - Opening hours reflect current settings and may vary on holidays - Reviews are sorted by "Most relevant" (Google's default) # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): What to search for on Google Maps. Examples: 'pizza restaurants in Berlin', 'dentists New York', 'hotels near Eiffel Tower' ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to scrape. ## `language` (type: `string`): Language of Google Maps results (ISO 639-1 code). ## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, the Actor will also scrape customer reviews for each business. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): How many reviews to scrape per business (only used if 'Include reviews' is enabled). ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "coffee shops in Amsterdam", "maxResults": 20, "language": "en", "includeReviews": false, "maxReviews": 5 } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dizzying_teeth/google-maps-scraper").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) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
