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 Scraper -- Fast Business Data Get basic business data from Google Maps -- names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, GPS coordinates, opening hours, and more. 50M+ businesses across 38 countries. No delays, no rate limits. You get data in seconds. This actor returns core business information without email enrichment or social profiles. If you need emails and social media links, use the [Google Maps Business Database](https://apify.com/iblead/google-maps-business-database) actor instead. ### What data do you get? | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `name` | Business name | | `address` | Full street address | | `city` | City name | | `postal_code` | ZIP / postal code | | `country_code` | ISO country code | | `phone` | Phone number from Google Maps listing | | `website_url` | Business website URL | | `google_maps_url` | Direct Google Maps link | | `place_id` | Google Place ID | | `cid` | Google CID | | `category` | Primary Google Maps category | | `categories` | All categories (array) | | `business_description` | Business description | | `rating` | Google rating (1.0 - 5.0) | | `review_count` | Number of Google reviews | | `latitude` | GPS latitude | | `longitude` | GPS longitude | | `business_status` | Open, temporarily closed, permanently closed | | `claimed` | Whether the owner claimed the listing | | `photo_url` | Main photo URL | | `hours` | Opening hours (structured) | | `timezone` | Business timezone | | `first_seen_at` | When the business was first indexed | | `last_seen_at` | Last data refresh timestamp | **Not included in this actor**: emails, phones from website, social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.).

Less data processing per result means a lower price. **Can I get emails later for specific businesses?** Yes. Export the `place_id` values from this actor, then feed them into the [Google Maps Email Finder](https://apify.com/iblead/google-maps-email-finder) actor to get emails for just the businesses you care about. **How is this different from a live Google Maps scraper?** This actor returns results in seconds instead of waiting minutes or hours, and you are not affected by Google's anti-bot measures. **What countries are available?** 38 countries, primarily in North America, Europe, and Oceania. The largest is the United States with 18M businesses.
