It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README **Turn a Google Maps search into a lead list: business name, email, phone, website, social profiles, address, hours, rating and review count.** No Google account, no API key, no cookies. From **$0.40 per 1,000 places with emails included**, and the first 200 places every month are free. Type `dentist` and `Austin, TX`, press Start, and get a row per business in seconds. Your first run is close to free: the prefilled input uses 20 of your free places, so it costs only the $0.005 run start, which Apify's free monthly credit covers. Run it from the Console, or call it as an API from Python, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent. ```json { "name": "Storyville Coffee Pike Place", "category": "Coffee shop", "email": "info@storyville.com", "phone": "(206) 780-5777", "website": "https://storyville.com/pages/pike-place-market", "socialProfiles": { "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/StoryvilleCoffee", "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/storyville" }, "rating": 4.6, "reviewsCount": 3238, "address": "94 Pike St Top floor Suite 34, Seattle, WA 98101", "latitude": 47.6087916, "longitude": -122.3400457, "businessStatus": "OPEN", "placeId": "ChIJBR3G8LJqkFQRWD2Wzn0qG3c" } ``` ### What you can do with it - **Build lead lists:** every plumber, dentist or gym in a city, with email, phone, website and social links. Turn on **Only places with an email** and pay only for those. Filter for places with no website if you sell web design. - **Size a market:** count competitors by area, category and rating, and map them with exact coordinates. - **Find new businesses:** schedule a run with a monitor name and get only the places you haven't seen before. - **Audit local listings:** check phones, hours, ratings and review counts across all your locations. - **Feed an AI agent:** ask for "cafes near this address with a rating above 4.5" and get clean JSON back. ### How to use it 1. Enter one or more **search terms** and **locations**, or paste **place links or IDs**. 2. Set **Max places per search**. One search stops around 140 places, because that's where Google Maps stops. Need more? Turn on **Deep area scan**. 3. **Find emails and social profiles** is on in the prefilled input. Optional: turn on **Add place details**, or set filters. Filters are free. 4. Press **Start**, then export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or fetch the dataset through the API. Example inputs: ```json { "searchTerms": ["dentist", "orthodontist"], "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Dallas, TX"], "maxPlacesPerSearch": 100, "includeContacts": true } ``` ```json { "searchTerms": ["roofing contractor"], "locations": ["Dallas, TX"], "maxPlacesPerSearch": 50, "onlyWithEmail": true } ``` ```json { "searchTerms": ["restaurant"], "locations": ["Seattle, WA"], "deepScan": true, "maxPlacesPerSearch": 2000, "minRating": 4.5 } ``` ```json { "places": ["ChIJBR3G8LJqkFQRWD2Wzn0qG3c", "https://maps.app.goo.gl/your-short-link"], "includeDetails": true } ``` ### Pricing You pay per place delivered, and filtered places and duplicates are never charged. Emails and social profiles are included in the place price. There is a one-off $0.005 fee when a run starts. | Event | Free plan | Bronze | Silver | Gold and above | |---|---|---|---|---| | Place | $0.50 / 1K | **$0.40 / 1K** | $0.30 / 1K | $0.20 / 1K | | Place details add-on | $0.30 / 1K | $0.25 / 1K | $0.20 / 1K | $0.15 / 1K | **Free every month:** 200 places and 50 place details. Your run stops by itself at the spending limit you set, and it tells you it did. ### How it compares Prices are the Bronze rates shown on the Apify Store on 2026-11-07. | | This actor | compass/crawler-google-places | |---|---|---| | 1,000 places | $0.40 | $3.00 | | Each filter, per 1,000 places | Free | $1.00 | | Extra place details, per 1,000 | $0.25 | $2.00 | | Free monthly places | 200 | None listed | | Rating breakdown and review topics | Yes, details add-on | Yes | | Full review history | **No**, sample only | **Yes** | | Emails and social links from business websites, per 1,000 | **Included** | $2.00 | | Named employees with job titles, verified emails | **No** | Yes, paid add-ons | | Menus, hotel prices, Q\&A, competitor reports | **No** | Yes | **Choose this actor** for business lead lists at a low price. **Choose a review actor** if you need every review of a place: see the FAQ. ### Output Every row has these fields, and fields Google doesn't show are `null`. | Group | Fields | |---|---| | Business | `name`, `category`, `categories`, `description`, `businessStatus`, `attributes` | | Contact | `phone`, `phoneInternational`, `website`, `domain` | | Website contacts | `email`, `emails`, `socialProfiles`, `contactsStatus` (with **Find emails and social profiles**) | | Location | `address`, `street`, `neighborhood`, `city`, `state`, `postalCode`, `countryCode`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `timeZone` | | Reputation | `rating`, `reviewsCount`, `photosCount`, `imageUrl` | | Hours | `openingHours` (a list of day and hours) | | IDs and links | `placeId`, `featureId`, `cid`, `knowledgeGraphId`, `mapsUrl` | | Run | `searchTerm`, `location`, `inputPlace`, `scrapedAt` | With **Add place details** you also get: ```json { "ratingBreakdown": { "1": 87, "2": 69, "3": 128, "4": 391, "5": 2563 }, "reviewTopics": [ { "topic": "cinnamon roll", "mentions": 183 }, { "topic": "friendly staff", "mentions": 418 } ], "reviews": [ { "rating": 5, "text": "This coffee shop is truly full of wonderful surprises!…", "language": "en", "publishedAt": "2026-10-23T02:16:00Z", "relativeTime": "2 weeks ago", "aspectRatings": { "Food": 5, "Service": 5, "Atmosphere": 5 }, "ownerResponse": "We are absolutely thrilled…" } ], "plusCode": "84VVJM55+GX", "locatedIn": "Pike Place Market", "ownerDescription": "We are on the TOP FLOOR of the Corner Market building…", "detailsStatus": "OK" } ``` `detailsStatus` is `OK` when the place page was read. If it couldn't be read, the row says `UNAVAILABLE` and the details aren't charged. ### FAQ **Can it get all the reviews of a place?** No. Google Maps asks visitors to sign in to read a place's full review list, and this actor never signs in. You get what a signed-out visitor sees: usually 5 reviews per place, the exact count per star and the review topics with mention counts. If you need every review, use an actor built for that, such as Google Maps Reviews Scraper by Compass. **Why do I get about 140 places from one search?** Google Maps stops there. Turn on **Deep area scan**: it cuts the location into map tiles and searches each one. In our test, 1,500 Seattle restaurants took 3 minutes, and places found twice were charged once. **Do I need a Google account, cookies or an API key?** No, none of them. There is nothing to set up. **Does it find emails?** Yes, when the business publishes one. With **Find emails and social profiles** on, the actor reads the home page of the business's own website, plus up to two contact or about pages if the home page shows no email. In our test on 2026-11-07, 54 of 100 local businesses gave an email (dentists in Austin, plumbers in Berlin, roofers in Dallas, cafes in Seattle). Big chains rarely publish one: 2 of 30 Starbucks rows did. **Where do the emails come from, and how good are they?** Only from the business's own website. We don't guess addresses, buy lists, look people up or verify inboxes. `email` is the safest single pick: the business's own domain and shared addresses like `info@` come first, and `emails` has the rest, up to 10. Template and vendor addresses are removed. A site's only email can still be its web agency's, so check it against `domain` before a big send. **What does `contactsStatus` mean?** `OK` means the site was read, even if it shows no email. `NO_WEBSITE` means Maps lists none. `UNAVAILABLE` means the site refused or didn't answer within 12 seconds. `ROBOTS_DISALLOWED` means its robots.txt asks visitors like us to stay out, so we did. Emails a site hides on purpose stay hidden. **Why is there no reviewer name?** We leave out reviewer names, photos and profile links, because they are personal data and most uses don't need them. The review text, rating, date and owner response are kept. **Is `businessStatus` reliable in every language?** It's most reliable with `language` set to `en`. Maps marks closed places with a translated word, and we read Latin-script capitals, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. If you depend on it, run in English. **How do I schedule it to catch new businesses?** Set **Monitor name**, for example `seattle-dentists`, and schedule the run in the Console. Each run returns only places that this name hasn't returned before, so a quiet day costs just the run start fee. **What happens if a search finds nothing?** The run still ends as succeeded and says so in its status message, with no charge for places. A link that isn't a Google Maps place is skipped the same way. Only input with nothing to search (no term, no location, no link) fails, at once and with a clear message. `RUN_SUMMARY` in the key-value store shows the result of every search. **I'm used to another Maps actor's input. Do I have to rename my fields?** No. Common field names such as `searchStringsArray`, `locationQuery`, `startUrls`, `placeIds`, `maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch`, `maxResults` and `countryCode` are read as our fields. Language and country names such as `English` or `Germany` are turned into codes. A search typed only into Locations ("dentists in Austin") is searched as written. Every adjustment is logged and listed under `inputAdjusted` in `RUN_SUMMARY`. **What if a filter value is a little off, or my account has no proxy access?** The run adjusts and keeps going. A number written as text (`"4.5 stars"`) is read, an out-of-range value is clamped (`minRating: 7` becomes 5), and `website`/`phone` accept `yes`/`no`/`true`/`false`. A circle with only one coordinate is ignored and a normal search runs. If your account can't use Apify Proxy, the run continues without it. Targets that Google Maps doesn't answer are asked once more after a short pause; the run fails only if every target still gets no answer, and then nothing is charged. **What about popular times, price level and menus?** Google doesn't send popular times or price levels to signed-out visitors in our tests, so we don't return them. `hasPopularTimes` shows if that changes for a place. **Is scraping Google Maps legal?** This actor reads public business listings as a signed-out visitor. It has no affiliation with Google. You're responsible for how you use the data, including your local privacy and marketing rules such as GDPR and CAN-SPAM, for example before you email or phone a list of businesses. A published email can still be personal data. ### Use it from AI agents (MCP) This actor fits tasks like "find Google Maps businesses with emails and phone numbers" or "get local business leads for a city". Load it as a named tool in Claude, Cursor or any MCP client: ```text https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,k-data-lab/google-maps-scraper ``` Then ask things like "find 20 vegan restaurants in Berlin rated above 4.5 with their emails and websites". A typical call: ```json { "searchTerms": ["vegan restaurant"], "locations": ["Berlin, Germany"], "maxPlacesPerSearch": 20, "minRating": 4.5, "includeContacts": true } ``` Agents don't need the exact field names: `searchStringsArray`, `locationQuery`, `startUrls` or `maxResults` work too, and language or country names (`English`, `Germany`) become codes. Rows come back as clean JSON. `RUN_SUMMARY` in the key-value store tells the agent what happened to each search, and the free 200 places a month make test calls cheap. ### More from K-Data Lab Google and web data: - [Google Ads Transparency & Ad Library Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/google-ad-library-scraper): competitors' Google ads - [Google Play Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/google-play-scraper): apps and reviews - [YouTube Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/youtube-scraper): videos, channels and search - [TikTok Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/tiktok-scraper): public videos and profiles - [Telegram Channel Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/telegram-channel-scraper): public channel messages Travel and food: - [Agoda Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/agoda-scraper): hotel prices, rooms and reviews - [Airline Award Seat Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/airline-award-seat-scraper): mileage seat availability - [Uber Eats & Deliveroo Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/uber-eats-deliveroo-scraper): restaurants, menus and prices Amazon: - [Amazon ASIN Rating Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/amazon-asin-rating-scraper): ratings by ASIN - [Amazon Seller Central Review Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/amazon-seller-central-review-scraper): your own seller reviews Korea: - [Korean Music Chart Scraper](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/korean-music-chart-scraper): all platforms in one - [Melon](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/melon-scraper), [Genie](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/genie-scraper), [Bugs](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/bugs-scraper), [FLO](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/flo-scraper) and [VIBE](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/vibe-scraper) charts - [KB Land](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/kbland-scraper) and [R114](https://apify.com/k-data-lab/r114-scraper): Korean real estate Something wrong or missing?

Each term runs once for every location. Use this field for any task like "find dentists in Austin with their email and phone": put the business type here and the city in Locations. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Where to look: a city, region or postal code, one per line, for example "Seattle, WA". Leave empty if the search term already names the place. ## `places` (type: `array`): Look up places you already know. Accepts Google Maps place links, maps.app.goo.gl short links, search links, place IDs (ChIJ…), feature IDs (0x…:0x…) and CID numbers. Each costs one place. ## `maxPlacesPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Limit for each search term and location pair. One normal search returns up to about 140 places, which is where Google Maps stops. For more, turn on Deep area scan. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Also reads each place page: rating breakdown by star, review topics with mention counts, the reviews Maps shows signed out (usually 5), plus code and full attributes. Charged per place as place-details. ## `includeContacts` (type: `boolean`): Also opens each business's own website (home page, plus up to two contact or about pages) and adds the emails and Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and TikTok links it publishes. Included in the place price, no extra event. Adds a few seconds per 20 places. Respects robots.txt; contactsStatus says what happened on each site. ## `deepScan` (type: `boolean`): Cuts each location into map tiles and searches every tile, so you get far past the ~140 limit of one search. Takes longer, costs the same per place. Set a higher Max places per search to use it. ## `centerLatitude` (type: `number`): Search around a point instead of a named location. Fill in latitude, longitude and radius together. Example: 30.2672 ## `centerLongitude` (type: `number`): Example: -97.7431 ## `radiusKm` (type: `number`): Radius around the center, from 0.1 to 500 km. Example: 5 ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Keep places rated at least this high, for example 4.5. ## `minReviews` (type: `integer`): Keep places with at least this many reviews. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): Keep places with at most this many reviews. Handy for finding small businesses. ## `website` (type: `string`): Keep only places with a website, or only those without one. ## `phone` (type: `string`): Keep only places with a phone number, or only those without one. ## `categoryContains` (type: `array`): Keep places whose Google Maps categories contain one of these words, for example "dentist" keeps "Cosmetic dentist". Use the language you set below. ## `onlyWithEmail` (type: `boolean`): Keep only places whose website publishes an email, so you pay only for those. Turns on Find emails and social profiles by itself. Max places per search still counts delivered places, so a run may read more websites to reach it. ## `skipClosed` (type: `boolean`): Leave out places marked temporarily or permanently closed. ## `monitorName` (type: `string`): Give a run a name and schedule it: each run with this name returns only places it hasn't returned before, so you see new businesses and pay only for those. Example: seattle-dentists ## `language` (type: `string`): Language of names, categories and hours: en, de, fr, ko, pt-BR and so on. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code that Google Maps treats as the visitor's country: us, de, kr and so on. It affects ranking, not coverage. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "dentist", "orthodontist" ], "locations": [ "Austin, TX", "Berlin, Germany" ], "places": [ "ChIJBR3G8LJqkFQRWD2Wzn0qG3c" ], "maxPlacesPerSearch": 20, "includeDetails": true, "includeContacts": true, "deepScan": false, "centerLatitude": 30.2672, "centerLongitude": -97.7431, "radiusKm": 5, "minRating": 4.5, "minReviews": 50, "maxReviews": 20, "website": "any", "phone": "any", "categoryContains": [ "dentist" ], "onlyWithEmail": false, "skipClosed": false, "monitorName": "seattle-dentists", "language": "en", "country": "us" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `leads` (type: `string`): No description ## `all` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
