Google Maps Scraper

What is Google Maps Scraper?

Google Maps Scraper extracts business listings from any Google Maps search URL — no proxy required. Paste a search URL, and the scraper visits each business page to collect names, phone numbers, addresses, ratings, categories, and websites.

No proxy. No API key. No login. Just paste a URL and get business data.

Why no proxy needed?

Most Google Maps scrapers require expensive residential proxies. This scraper uses a headless browser to access publicly available Google Maps pages directly, just like a normal user would. This means:

• Zero proxy cost — No residential or datacenter proxy fees
• Works on Free plan — No proxy add-ons required
• Simple setup — Just paste a URL, no configuration needed

What data can you extract?

For each business listing, the scraper extracts:

• Business name
• Phone number — extracted from multiple sources (tel: links, aria-labels, page source)
• Full address
• Rating (e.g. 4.5)
• Category (e.g. Hotel, Restaurant, Dentist)
• Website URL
• Google Maps URL — direct link to the business on Maps

How to use

1. Go to Google Maps in your browser
2. Search for businesses (e.g. "Hotels in Berlin", "Dentists near me", "Restaurants Istanbul")
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
4. Paste the URL into the Google Maps Search URLs input field
5. Click Start

You can add multiple search URLs to scrape different areas or categories in a single run.

Tips for best results

Use specific search terms

"Dentists in Manhattan, New York" works better than just "Dentists". The more specific your search, the more relevant the results.

Zoom level matters

Google Maps shows different results based on zoom level. Zoom into a specific neighborhood for local businesses, or zoom out for a broader search.

Multiple URLs for large areas

If you need businesses across a large region, create separate URLs for different neighborhoods or cities and add them all to a single run.

Language setting

Set the language to match the region you're scraping. This ensures category names and addresses are in the expected language.
