Hey there!

Thank you very much for reaching out and choosing us for your Google Maps Scraper. I just checked your Run and saw that you haven't provided any locations. As the Logs Section mentions, "Search location must be provided when searching by keyword.". If you want to search a keyword on Google Maps, you also need to pass where it needs to be searched.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. We'll always be here for you. Best

Thank you for the insight. I input 'US' thinking, it'll look across the entire United States but I am only getting REQUESTS 21 of 22 handled on the West Coast. I used to get results across the entire US on previous versions. How do I go back to those kinds of results?

Hey again!

Unfortunately, the actor does not have the functionality to retrieve the results across all the United States. You can enter US as a search term but it won't retrieve the results for the whole country. This actor is an automated version of the website. It searches the results on a given specific area.

On the other hand, you can try Start URLs if you have the URL in place. You can copy and paste and retrieve the results via that direction. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. We'll always be here for you. Closing the issue for now for management purposes but feel free to reopen if needed. Even if you don't reopen, we can/will answer. Best

Thanks, I do know earlier versions allowed me to pull 5,000 results across the nation at once. This version seems messed up. City column lists out states. Perhaps its an Apify version or Google Maps changed something. But something is def different.

That's very sad to hear. If possible, can you send us an example Run (which was working properly back then) so that I can investigate further? I already passed this information to the Engineering Team and in the meantime, they will check what is going on there. Reopening the issue for the tracking purposes.

If you don't want to send the Run ID publicly, please send it over to devops@epctex.com. We'll take it from there. Will keep you posted. Best

Hey again,

We've deployed a new version with some bug fixes in place. I hope that will resolve the problem that you've been facing. In the meantime, if you send the Run ID, that would be splendid.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Closing the issue for tracking purposes. Best
