Google Maps Extractor

Google Maps Extractor scrapes structured place and business data from Google Maps. Enter a search query plus location, or paste Google Maps search/place URLs, and get one clean dataset row per place with name, category, address, phone, website, rating, review count, coordinates, Maps URL, and source query.

It is built for local SEO agencies, B2B sales teams, market researchers, data enrichment workflows, and AI agents that need a predictable Google Maps data tool. The actor is MCP optimized, perfect for SEO and AI agents, and priced with one clear event: $0.005 per place returned.

When To Use It

Use this actor when you need a structured list of businesses or places from Google Maps:

• Build local business datasets for sales research.
• Compare local competitors by rating, category, review count, and website.
• Feed a CRM, spreadsheet, or enrichment pipeline with Maps place data.
• Audit local SEO coverage for a city, niche, or service area.
• Let Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI agent gather place records from a simple query.

Do not use this actor for Google Maps reviews. Use a reviews-specific actor when you need full review text, reviewer names, owner replies, or review pagination. Do not use it as a deep email verifier. The optional website contact scan is lightweight and only returns public links found on listed business websites.

Actor start	$0.00005	Once per run, scaled by memory
Place scraped	$0.005	Once for each Google Maps place record returned

Typical cost examples:

• 10 places: about $0.050 plus the tiny start event.
• 100 places: about $0.500 plus the tiny start event.

Reliability Notes

Google Maps is a browser-rendered application and can behave differently by country, proxy, query, and layout version. This actor uses a real Chrome browser, Apify residential proxies, session persistence, consent cookies, retries, and a circuit breaker. It pushes records as soon as they are extracted, so partial output is preserved if Google Maps slows down or blocks a subset of requests.

The default input is intentionally small so Apify health checks and first-time users can get a fast successful run. For bulk coverage, split large jobs by city, postal code, neighborhood, or niche instead of asking one broad query to return everything.

API Usage

Run with the Apify API:

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~google-maps-extractor/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "searchQuery": "coffee shops",
    "location": "Austin, TX",
    "maxResults": 20
  }'

Results are available in the default dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, and HTML table exports. The OUTPUT key-value store record contains a machine-readable run summary for monitoring and AI agents.
