## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

# README

## Google Maps Scraper — Business Leads, Phones & Websites

Turn any Google Maps search into a clean, exportable list of businesses. Just type **what** you want and **where** — like `restaurants in Chicago`, `dentists in London`, or `plumbers in Austin TX` — and get back every matching business with its **name, phone, website, full address, rating, review count, category and coordinates**.

Perfect for **local lead generation**, sales prospecting, market research, competitor mapping and building B2B contact lists.

### What you get for every place

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `name` | Business name |
| `category` / `categories` | Primary category + all listed categories |
| `phone` | Contact phone number |
| `website` | Official website URL |
| `address` | Full formatted address |
| `street`, `cityRegion`, `country` | Address parts |
| `rating` | Average star rating |
| `latitude`, `longitude` | GPS coordinates |
| `googleMapsUrl` | Direct Google Maps link (by CID) |
| `googlePlaceId`, `featureId`, `cid` | Stable Google identifiers |
| `searchQuery` | The search this result came from |
| `scrapedAt` | Timestamp |

### How to use it

1. In **What & where to search**, add one or more searches the way you'd type them into Google Maps:
   - `coffee shops in Seattle`
   - `real estate agents in Dubai`
   - `hotels in Barcelona`
2. Optionally pick a **results language** and **country**, and set a **max results** limit.
3. Run it. Export the results as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or pull them from the API.

Leave the search empty and the actor returns a **mixed sample** of popular business types across major cities, so you can try it instantly.

### Great for

- **Local lead generation** — build targeted lists of businesses with phone and website in any city or niche.
- **Sales prospecting** — find and qualify prospects by category and location.
- **Market & competitor research** — map every competitor in an area with ratings and review counts.
- **Data enrichment** — add ratings, categories and contact details to an existing company list by searching each name + city.

### Tips

- **Be specific with location** — `pizza in Brooklyn NY` returns tighter results than just `pizza`.
- **Split big areas** — run one search per city or district to go beyond a single area's result ceiling.
- **Use a proxy** — a proxy is recommended (and enabled by default) for reliable results at scale.

### Output example

```json
{
  "name": "Blue Bottle Coffee",
  "category": "Coffee shop",
  "phone": "(510) 653-3394",
  "website": "https://bluebottlecoffee.com/",
  "address": "300 Webster St, Oakland, CA 94607, United States",
  "cityRegion": "Oakland, CA 94607",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "latitude": 37.8071,
  "longitude": -122.2760,
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps?cid=1234567890",
  "searchQuery": "coffee shops in Oakland"
}
````

### FAQ

**Do I need coordinates or IDs?** No. Just type the location in plain words inside your search.

**How many results per search?** Google Maps shows up to a few hundred per area; the actor paginates through them automatically. For full coverage of a large city, split it into districts or nearby towns.

**Can I limit the volume?** Yes — use **Max results (total)** and **Max results per search**.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Type what you want and where, exactly like the Google Maps search box — for example "restaurants in Chicago", "dentists in London", "plumbers in Austin TX". Add as many searches as you like. Leave empty to get a mixed sample of popular business types across major cities.

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

Language of the returned business info (Google Maps interface language).

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

Which country's Google to search from. Affects local ranking and formats. Tip: also name the location inside your search (e.g. "cafes in Paris").

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after collecting this many places in total across all searches. Set 0 for no limit.

## `maxItemsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Optional cap on the number of places returned for each individual search. Set 0 for no per-search limit.

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

Recommended. A proxy is needed to collect results reliably at scale. Datacenter proxies work well; use residential for very large jobs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "dentists in London",
    "coffee shops in Los Angeles",
    "real estate agents in Dubai"
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "countryCode": "us",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Open to view, filter and export all scraped Google Maps places (JSON, CSV, Excel).
