This Google Maps scraper searches Google Maps for any business type and location and returns every place in one table: name, category, rating, review count, phone, website, full address, city, postal code, coordinates, opening status and place ID. It is made for lead generation, local SEO, market research and sales teams. Use it to extract Google Maps data to Excel or CSV, or as a Google Maps business list extractor for any city, with no browser and no login.

What does Google Maps Scraper do?

The robot runs the same list search that Google Maps runs when you type a query, reads the results 20 places at a time, and turns each place into one row. It does not open a browser.

You tell it what to look for with:

• Search terms, written the way you would type them in Google Maps: dentist, coffee shop, real estate agency or plumber in Miami.
• Location, a city, region or neighborhood added to every search term. With the term dentist and the location Austin, TX, the robot searches for dentist in Austin, TX. When the language starts with pt, it uses the Portuguese word instead: academia em Florianópolis. Leave the location empty if your terms already include the place.
• Language and country, which Google uses for the search and for the text of categories and opening status, for example en and us, or pt-BR and br.

For each search the robot keeps reading result pages until it reaches your Max places per search or Google has no more places. By default, a place found by more than one search term is returned only once.

What comes out is a table with one row per place: name and categories, rating and number of reviews, local and international phone, website, the full address plus street, neighborhood, city, state, postal code and country code, latitude and longitude, the opening status at the time of the run, a short description when Google has one, time zone, place ID, CID, a Google Maps link and a thumbnail image.

How to use Google Maps Scraper

1. Open the robot in Apify Console and go to the Input tab.
2. Add one or more Search terms, one per line, for example dentist, pizza or gym.
3. Type a Location such as Austin, TX, Lisbon or Curitiba, or leave it empty if each term already says where.
4. Set Max places per search. Google Maps shows about 120 places per search.
5. Set Language and Country, for example pt-BR and br for Brazil.
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Open the Output tab to see the Places table, then export the data as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
searchTerms	array of strings (required)	["dentist"]	What you would type in Google Maps. One search per entry; repeated terms are removed.
location	string	empty (the form shows Austin, TX as an example)	City, region or neighborhood added to every search term. Leave it empty if the place is already in the terms.
maxPlacesPerSearch	integer	40	Places per search, from 1 to 500. Google shows about 120 per search.
language	string	en	Language of the search, categories and opening status, e.g. en, pt-BR, es, de, fr.
country	string	us	Two-letter country code Google uses for the search, e.g. us, br, gb, de.
skipDuplicates	boolean	true	Return each place only once across all search terms.
proxy	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Apify Proxy settings. The default works for most runs.

Example input:

{
  "searchTerms": ["dentist", "orthodontist"],
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxPlacesPerSearch": 100,
  "language": "en",
  "country": "us",
  "skipDuplicates": true,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true }

}

When a search returns nothing, you get an error row such as {"searchTerm": "dentist in Austin, TX", "error": "No places found"}.

How much does it cost?

The robot uses pay per event pricing: you pay $2.00 per 1,000 places ($0.002 per place returned) on the Free plan. Platform usage is included in the price, so there is no separate charge for compute or proxy.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 places
Free	$2.00
Bronze (10% off)	$1.80
Silver (20% off)	$1.60
Gold and higher (30% off)	$1.40

Worked examples on the Free plan:

• One search with the default 40 places: $0.08.
• One business type in 20 neighborhoods, about 120 places each: about 2,400 places = about $4.80, less if duplicates are skipped.
• 10,000 places: $20.00 (or $14.00 on Gold).

What is not charged: error rows (No places found and Google Maps did not respond, try again later) and places skipped as duplicates.

Use cases

• B2B lead lists: collect local businesses with phone and website for cold calling or outreach.
• Local SEO and competitor research: compare ratings and review counts of businesses in an area.
• Market sizing: count how many gyms, clinics or restaurants exist in each city or neighborhood.
• Directories and store locators: build listings with addresses, coordinates and Google Maps links.
• Sales territory planning: plot places on a map with latitude and longitude.
• CRM updates: schedule the same searches every month to catch new businesses and changed phone numbers or websites.
• Expansion research: see where competitors are present before opening a new location.

Tips and limits

• About 120 places per search. This is how many places Google Maps shows for one query. For a whole city, run one search per neighborhood or ZIP code; with skipDuplicates on, places found twice are returned once.
• Up to 500 per search. The robot reads result pages of 20 places, up to 500 per search, and stops early when Google returns a page with fewer than 20 places.
• Location is optional. From the API, location stays empty unless you send it, so a term like plumber in Miami is searched exactly as typed. In the Console form it comes pre-filled with Austin, TX as an example; clear it if your terms already say where.
• Joining word. Term and location are joined with in (or em for Portuguese). For other languages you may prefer to write the whole query in each search term and leave the location empty.
• No emails, no reviews. The robot returns the rating and the number of reviews, not review texts, and it does not visit websites. For emails, use the Google Maps Email Extractor.
• Opening status is a snapshot. openingStatus is the text Google shows at the time of the run, not the full weekly schedule.
• Retries: each result page is tried up to 4 times with fresh proxy connections. If Google does not answer the first page of a search, you get the error row Google Maps did not respond, try again later.

Use it from the API, Python or JavaScript

JavaScript (Node.js) with the official apify-client package:

const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const input = { searchTerms: ['coffee shop'], location: 'Lisbon', maxPlacesPerSearch: 60, language: 'en', country: 'pt' };
const run = await client.actor('juliob.rangel/google-maps-places-scraper-fast').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python with the official apify-client package:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
input = {'searchTerms': ['plumber in Miami'], 'location': '', 'maxPlacesPerSearch': 120}
run = client.actor('juliob.rangel/google-maps-places-scraper-fast').call(run_input=input)
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)

You can also connect the robot to Make, Zapier or n8n, export results to Google Sheets, send them to a webhook when a run finishes, or let AI agents call it through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need a Google account, cookies or a Google Maps API key? No. The robot reads public Google Maps search results. You only need an Apify account.

Can I export the places to Excel or CSV? Yes. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the Output tab, or read it through the API.

How many places can I get? About 120 per search, because that is what Google Maps shows. Add more search terms or split the area into neighborhoods or ZIP codes to get more.

Does it get emails? No. It returns the website of each place. The Google Maps Email Extractor visits those websites and adds emails and social profiles.

Does it scrape reviews? No. You get rating and reviewsCount, but not the text of reviews.

Why did I get an error row? No places found means Google returned nothing for that query. Google Maps did not respond, try again later means the first result page could not be loaded after several tries. Error rows are free.

Is scraping Google Maps legal? The robot only collects publicly available business data. You are responsible for complying with Google's terms and with privacy laws such as GDPR and LGPD. Some places are run by individuals (for example a freelancer listed under their own name), and personal data needs a legitimate reason to be processed.
