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 Places Scraper — with Emails & Socials 📍 Search **Google Maps** and get every place as structured JSON — **name, address, phone, website, rating, category, lat/lng** — plus **emails and social profiles** scraped from each business's website. **No Google API key, no quota, no login.** > 💵 **$0.70 per 1,000 places** — vs **$2.10–$4.00** for the big Google Maps scrapers, which also **charge extra** for emails/socials. Here they're **included free**. Pay only for places you get. ### ✨ Why this one - **Just a query in → places out.** `"coffee shops in Austin TX"`, `"dentists in Miami"`, `"plumbers near Chicago"`. - **Emails & social links included** — we visit each place's website and pull `info@…` emails + Facebook/Instagram/X/LinkedIn/YouTube/TikTok/Pinterest links. Competitors bill this as a paid add-on. - **Full place data** — name, full address, phone, website, rating, category, price level, plus code, latitude/longitude, a stable Google Maps URL. - **Pagination** — up to 500 places per query. - **Cheap & key-free** — hits Google's own Maps data endpoint with a real Chrome fingerprint on cheap datacenter proxies; no $200/mo Places API, no daily quota. ### 📥 Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `searchQueries` | array (required) | Map searches, ideally with a location: `"coffee shops in Austin TX"` | | `maxPlacesPerQuery` | integer | Places per query (default `60`, up to `500`) | | `scrapeContacts` | boolean | Visit each website for emails + socials (default `true`, no extra charge) | | `latitude` / `longitude` | string | Optional viewport center for precise/"near me" searches | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy (Datacenter default = cheapest) | ```json { "searchQueries": ["coffee shops in Austin TX", "dentists in Miami"], "maxPlacesPerQuery": 100, "scrapeContacts": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### 📤 Output ```json { "name": "Jo's Coffee – South Congress", "category": "Coffee shop", "address": "1300 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78704", "phone": "+15128522300", "website": "https://www.joscoffee.com/south-congress-jos", "rating": 4.4, "reviewsCount": null, "priceLevel": "$$", "latitude": 30.2497, "longitude": -97.7506, "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps?cid=...", "emails": ["info@joscoffee.com"], "socials": { "facebook": "https://facebook.com/joscoffee", "instagram": "https://instagram.com/joscoffee" }, "searchQuery": "coffee shops in Austin TX" } ``` Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the Apify API — ready for lead-gen / outreach. ### ⚠️ Notes - **`reviewsCount` is best-effort** (the lightweight Maps endpoint returns rating, not always the count) — coming in a later version. All other fields are populated. - Emails/socials depend on the business having a reachable website. ### ⚖️ Legal Scrapes only **publicly available** business data. Use the output in line with Google's Terms and applicable laws (e.g. GDPR/CCPA) — for legitimate B2B outreach, not spam. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Map searches, ideally with a location, e.g. 'coffee shops in Austin TX', 'dentists in Miami', 'plumbers near Chicago'. ## `maxPlacesPerQuery` (type: `integer`): How many places to return per query (paginated, 20/page). ## `scrapeContacts` (type: `boolean`): Visit each place's website and extract email addresses + social profile links. Adds a bit of time, but it's included at no extra charge (most competitors charge extra). ## `latitude` (type: `string`): Optional viewport center latitude for precise/near-me searches. Usually unnecessary if the query names a location. ## `longitude` (type: `string`): Optional viewport center longitude. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy is required. Datacenter (default) works and is cheapest. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "coffee shops in Austin TX" ], "maxPlacesPerQuery": 60, "scrapeContacts": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # 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 = { "searchQueries": [ "coffee shops in Austin TX" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gurify/google-maps-places-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 📖?
