⚙️ Input Configuration & Parameters

The Actor interface provides intuitive fields for customizing your crawl:

1. searchTerms (Array of Strings - Required)

• Examples: ["Plumber"], ["Real Estate Agency"], ["Coworking Space"].

2. locations (Array of Strings - Required)

Specify target cities, counties, states, countries, or postal codes. You can provide multiple locations in a single run.

• Examples: ["New York, NY"], ["Los Angeles, CA"], ["Toronto, Canada"], ["London, UK"].

3. maxPlacesPerLocation (Integer - Optional)

The maximum number of places to extract per search query and location combination.

• Leave empty or set to 0 to scrape all available businesses in the target area.

4. extractEmails (Boolean - Optional, Default: true)

5. maxReviewsPerPlace (Integer - Optional, Default: 0)

Specify how many customer reviews to extract per business.

• Set to 0 to skip reviews for maximum speed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is this different from the official Google Places API?

The official Google Places API charges heavily per request, enforces strict query quotas, caps search results to a maximum of 60 places per area, and does not provide contact email addresses or social media profiles. This Google Maps Scraper extracts comprehensive business listings without 60-place restrictions and enriches profiles with verified email addresses and social links.

Does this scraper hit the 120-result limit on Google Maps?

No. Standard browser searches on Google Maps stop displaying results after scrolling through 120 places. This Actor uses an intelligent geographic tiling system that automatically subdivides target regions into micro-sectors, capturing up to 100% of businesses across the entire city or state.

Can I extract business email addresses for cold outreach?

Yes. When extractEmails is checked, the scraper visits each business's official website in the background, extracts verified contact emails from the homepage and contact pages, eliminates font/theme spam, and includes them directly in your spreadsheet.

Do I need to provide proxies or pay extra for proxy pools?

No. The Actor connects directly and handles request management automatically. You do not need to configure external proxy subscriptions or provide residential proxy credentials.

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps data?

Yes. Web scraping is legal when extracting publicly available commercial information (business names, public phone numbers, addresses, and listed website URLs). Ensure compliance with local regulations (such as GDPR or CAN-SPAM) when conducting cold outreach.
