• 12-field author profiles - Local Guide level number, contribution counts, badge labels, guide profile flag. Others return a boolean at best.
• Human-readable language names - returns "Vietnamese" and "English" alongside "vi" and "en".
• Generic survey parser - automatically extracts structured ratings and free-text tips for any place type (restaurants, hotels, attractions, parks).

Quick start

Paste a Google Maps place URL:

{
  "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/Starbucks+Reserve+Roastery"]
}

Default: 20 reviews, sorted by newest.

Get more reviews

{
  "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/Starbucks+Reserve+Roastery"],
  "maxReviews": 500
}

All reviews for a place

Set maxReviews to 0 for no limit:

{
  "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/Empire+State+Building"],
  "maxReviews": 0
}

Multiple places

Up to 3 places scraped in parallel, each on its own proxy session:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Starbucks+Reserve+Roastery",
    "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Empire+State+Building",
    "https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Ritz+London"
  ],
  "maxReviews": 200
}

Filter by keyword

{
  "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Capital+Grille"],
  "searchQuery": "steak",
  "sort": "relevant"
}

Filter by date range

Use sort: "newest" for early stopping - scraping stops once reviews fall outside the date range instead of paginating through everything:

{
  "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ueno+Woo+Hotel"],
  "reviewsNewerThan": "2025-01-01",
  "reviewsOlderThan": "2025-12-31",
  "sort": "newest",
  "maxReviews": 0
}

Performance

• ~2,000 reviews per minute
• 256 MB memory default - lightweight HTTP-only, no browser
• Reviews streamed to dataset per page - constant memory regardless of total review count

Output

• Default dataset - one row per review with place context (name, placeId, address, googleMapsUri)
• Key-value store - one entry per place (place-{placeId}) with all 66 fields plus rating breakdown

FAQ

How many reviews can I scrape?

No hard limit. Set maxReviews to 0 for unlimited. Reviews stream to the dataset per page, so memory stays constant.

Where is the full place data?

In the key-value store under place-{placeId}. Each review row has a slim place object (4 fields) for identification. Access the full 66 fields via the Apify dashboard or API.

Does it work for non-English reviews?

Yes. Reviews are returned in their original language. When Google provides translations, you get both the original and translated text with language names. Set language and region to control which translations Google returns (e.g. language: "ja", region: "JP" for Japanese).

Troubleshooting

• 0 reviews returned - proxy IP blocked by Google. Use residential proxies instead of datacenter.
• Fewer reviews than expected - Google may not serve all reviews. Date-filtered scrapes skip reviews without timestamps. Try without filters to verify.

Limitations

• maxReviews is per place, not total across all URLs
• Results may vary by proxy region
