Google Maps URL to Coordinates Actor

This Apify actor converts a Google Maps URL into geographic coordinates and a full formatted address.

It works without browser automation. The actor extracts latitude and longitude directly from the Google Maps link and then uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim to retrieve the address.

Features

• Extract latitude and longitude from Google Maps URLs
• Supports place links, search links, direction links, and short links
• Resolves shortened Google Maps URLs automatically
• Returns a full formatted address
• No API key required
• Fast and reliable

Input

The actor expects a single Google Maps URL.

Example input:

{
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eiffel+Tower/@48.8583701,2.2922926,17z"
}

Output

The actor returns coordinates and address data in JSON format.

Example output:

{
  "latitude": 48.8583701,
  "longitude": 2.2922926,
  "formattedAddress": "Eiffel Tower, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris, France",
  "addressDetails": {
    "road": "Avenue Anatole France",
    "city": "Paris",
    "postcode": "75007",
    "country": "France"
  },
  "source": "openstreetmap"
}
