❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Google API key? No. The actor scrapes Google Maps directly — no API key required.

Q: How many results can I get per query? Google Maps typically returns up to ~120 results per search. For broader coverage, run multiple searches with different sub-areas (e.g., "plumbers in Paris 1er", "plumbers in Paris 2e").

Q: What export formats? JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, RSS — all from the Apify console.

Q: How do I get better results? Be specific. "Italian restaurants in Manhattan, New York" gives better results than "restaurants". Set countryCode and language to match your target area.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Be specific — "Italian restaurants in Manhattan" > "restaurants"
• Use country codes — countryCode: "fr" focuses results on France
• Adjust zoom — lower (10-12) for wide area, higher (16-18) for a neighborhood
• Run multiple queries — split large areas into sub-searches for complete coverage

⚠️ Important: Residential Proxies Required

This actor targets platforms with strict anti-bot protection (Cloudflare, fingerprinting). To successfully scrape data, you must enable Apify Residential Proxies in the actor settings. Go to the Apify Console → Actor → Settings → Proxy configuration → select Residential proxy pool. Without residential proxies, the actor will return 0 results or errors. ✅ Pro tip: The actor is configured for pay-per-event pricing, so you only pay for successful results.
