## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## Google Maps Leads Scraper — Local Business Data, No API Key

Turn a Google Maps search into a **clean list of local business leads** — no API
key, no setup. Enter a search like `restaurants in Berlin` or `dentists, Austin TX`
and get structured JSON for every business: name, category, star rating, review
count, address, opening hours, coordinates, and the Maps URL.

> **Part of the Godberry Reviews & Local-Data Suite** — pair it with the
> [Google Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/godberry/google-reviews-scraper),
> [Yelp Scraper](https://apify.com/godberry/yelp-scraper), and
> [Google Play Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/godberry/google-play-reviews-scraper).

### What you can do with it

- **Lead generation** — build targeted prospect lists of local businesses by
  category + city for outreach.
- **Local market research** — map every competitor in an area with ratings and
  review counts.
- **Territory / franchise planning** — pull all businesses of a type across cities.
- **Data enrichment** — anchor your CRM records to canonical Maps listings + coords.

### What you get (per business)

`name`, `category`, `rating`, `reviewCount`, `address`, `hours`, `latitude`,
`longitude`, `placeUrl` (the canonical Google Maps link), and the `searchQuery`
that found it. Flat JSON — export to CSV / Excel / Google Sheets in one click.

### Why this scraper

- **No API key, no quota.** Google's Places API needs a billing-enabled key and
  meters every call. This reads public Maps results directly — no key, no setup.
- **Reliable by design.** Built on the same hardened Google-Maps engine as our
  Google Reviews Scraper — real Chrome (Google fingerprints headless shells),
  pre-set consent cookies, anti-bot detection with fresh-session retries, and a
  residential proxy by default.
- **Transparent flat pricing.** One simple per-result price — no maze of separate
  "place / details / contact / lead" charges. You pay only for businesses returned.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `searchQueries` (required) | Maps searches (`restaurants in Berlin`) or `/maps/search` URLs — one per line |
| `maxResultsPerSearch` | Cap per query (1–120; Google caps a search at ~120) |
| `language` | UI language, default `en` |
| `countryCode` | Geo-bias country, default `us` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Defaults to Apify Residential (Maps blocks datacenter IPs); match the proxy country to the target area for best results |

### Output (one business)

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "restaurants in Berlin",
  "name": "Restaurant Facil",
  "category": "Fine dining restaurant",
  "rating": 4.8,
  "reviewCount": 1234,
  "address": "Potsdamer Str. 3",
  "latitude": 52.5096,
  "longitude": 13.3737,
  "hours": "Closed · Opens 12 PM",
  "placeUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/..."
}
````

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: a flat price per business returned — you pay only for results
actually delivered. No subscription, no per-run base fee, no add-on event maze.

> **Coming next:** an optional contact-enrichment add-on (phone, website, email)
> that opens each business for full contact details.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

One per line. Use natural Google Maps searches — "restaurants in Berlin", "dentists, Austin TX", "plumbers near Manchester" — or paste a Google Maps /search URL. Each query returns up to ~120 businesses (Google's search cap).

## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Cap businesses returned per query (1–120). Google caps a single Maps search at ~120 results — narrow by city/neighborhood for fuller coverage of dense categories.

## `language` (type: `string`):

UI language code (e.g. 'en', 'de', 'fr').

## `countryCode` (type: `string`):

Two-letter geo-bias country code (e.g. 'us', 'de', 'gb').

## `scrapeContactDetails` (type: `boolean`):

⏳ In final pricing setup — launches ~2026-07-08. Opens each business + its website to extract phone, website, email addresses (incl. EU Impressum pages), and social profiles. Turns leads into outreach-ready contacts. Slower + adds a per-business 'enriched' charge. Off by default.

## `websiteFilter` (type: `string`):

Keep only businesses with a website, or without one (great for web-design/SEO agencies prospecting businesses that need a site). 'Any' keeps all. Applied during contact enrichment.

## `maxEmailsPerBusiness` (type: `integer`):

Cap email addresses kept per business (1–10). Business addresses (info@, contact@) are preferred.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Google Maps blocks datacenter IPs, so this defaults to Apify Residential. Tip: set the proxy country to match the area you're scraping for the most reliable runs. You can also supply your own residential proxyUrls.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "dentists, Austin TX",
    "coffee shops in Lisbon",
    "law firms in Toronto"
