Google Maps Place Scraper - Reviews Experimental
Pricing
from $0.20 / 1,000 place scrapeds
Find Google Maps places by keyword and return place details. Review extraction is experimental: recent smoke tests returned place cards but no review rows, and tiny runs are costly. Use only for diagnostics until fixed.
You can access the Google Maps Place Scraper - Reviews Experimental programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
