## Pricing

from $0.68 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Maps Scraper: Unclaimed Listings & No-Website Leads

**Google Maps Scraper** - Type a search and a city, get every place with phone, hours and rating, and see right away which ones have no website or an unclaimed Google listing.

### What does Google Maps Scraper do?

Every row has leadSignals (no website, unclaimed listing, under 10 reviews, rating under 4.0, no opening hours) plus free filters for no-website and unclaimed-only places, which the leading Google Maps scrapers charge extra for or do not offer.

- Free filters: only places without a website, only unclaimed listings, minimum rating, minimum reviews, skip closed
- leadSignals on every row: no website, unclaimed listing, under 10 reviews, rating under 4.0, no opening hours
- Business phone (as shown on the listing), website, address split into street/city/postal code/state, coordinates
- Rating, review count, opening hours per day, open status, attributes like accessibility
- Up to 120 places per search, several searches per run, export to CSV/Excel/JSON

### Who uses Google Maps Scraper, and for what

- Web designers - find local businesses that still have no website
- Local SEO agencies - list businesses whose Google profile is unclaimed
- Sales teams - build call lists of plumbers, roofers or cafes in a city
- Market research - count and rate competitors in an area

### Why this Google Maps Scraper?

Low tools fail because they break when Google changes its page, return half-empty rows, or charge for basics without showing anything the leaders lack. This Google Maps Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### Data you get from Google Maps Scraper

One flat row per result.

### How much does Google Maps Scraper cost?

You pay only per result (pay per event) - no monthly fee, no minimum, and the price per result is lower on Apify's Bronze, Silver and Gold plans. The exact price is on the **Pricing** tab. Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it on real input.

| You want | What you pay for |
|---|---|
| A quick test with the example | a few results |
| A daily scheduled run | only the rows that run returns |
| A big one-off export | the results delivered - set a maximum in the input |

### FAQ

**Does Google Maps Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run Google Maps Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**Where do the contacts come from?** Only from what the business or group published about itself on its public page - never guessed, never looked up elsewhere. `contactSource` says which: `business_field` (the platform's own contact field) or `bio_text` (written in the description; only when you switch on includeBioContacts). You decide whether and how you may contact them under GDPR, CCPA and anti-spam law.

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

**Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - Google Maps Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

### Troubleshooting

- **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
- **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Google Maps Scraper never logs in.
- **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.

What you would type into Google Maps, e.g. handyman or coffee shop. One search per line.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City or area added to every search, e.g. Tulsa, OK. Leave empty if your search terms already say where.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

How many places to return for each search (1-120; Google Maps lists at most about 120).

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

Keep every place, only places with a website, or only places with NO website (good leads for web designers).

## `onlyUnclaimed` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only places whose Google listing still shows 'Claim this business' (nobody manages the profile).

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchStrings": [
        "handyman"

// 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();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchStrings": [
    "handyman"
  ],
  "location": "Tulsa, OK",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "useApifyProxy": true

apify call h1018y/anvil-google-maps-places --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,h1018y/anvil-google-maps-places"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
