The final price shown in Apify depends on the user account plan and any custom agreement.

Event	What is charged	Price
start	One-time fee charged when a run starts. Covers fixed startup cost (init, proxy warmup, first HTTP setup).	$0.005

Data quality notes

Apple Maps may return different fields for different place types. Restaurants often include ratings and hours, while parks, landmarks, or regions may have fewer business fields.

Limits

The actor saves up to maxResults places. Apple Maps search availability, field availability, and result ordering can vary by country, query, and location.

FAQ

Why did I get fewer places than requested?

Apple Maps may have fewer public matches for the exact query/location. Try a broader query, nearby coordinates, or a different city.

Why are some phone numbers or websites missing?

The actor only returns public fields Apple Maps exposes for each place. Some places do not publish phone or website data.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly available Apple Maps place information. Make sure your use complies with applicable laws, privacy rules, and Apple Maps terms. Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, or prohibited profiling.
