Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Maps Business Scraper Extract business listings from Google Maps with a single search query. No API key required — works directly on the public Google Maps interface. ### What it extracts | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Business name | | `category` | Business category (e.g., "Plumber") | | `rating` | Star rating (1.0 – 5.0) | | `reviewCount` | Number of reviews | | `address` | Full address | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Business website URL | | `latitude` | GPS latitude | | `longitude` | GPS longitude | | `placeId` | Google Maps Place ID (ChIJ...) | | `googleMapsUrl` | Direct Google Maps link | | `searchQuery` | The query that returned this result | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of scrape | ### Example input ```json { "searchQueries": [ "nettoyage toiture Arles", "nettoyage façade Marseille", "couvreur Bouches-du-Rhône" ], "maxResultsPerQuery": 20, "language": "fr", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Example output ```json { "title": "Horizon Sud Nettoyage", "category": "Nettoyage de façades", "rating": 4.8, "reviewCount": 47, "address": "12 Rue de la République, 13200 Arles", "phone": "+33 4 90 12 34 56", "website": "https://horizon-sud.fr", "latitude": 43.6768, "longitude": 4.6278, "placeId": "ChIJrTLr-GyuVhMRKn5rXhJJ-MY", "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...", "searchQuery": "nettoyage toiture Arles", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-14T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### Usage tips - Use **Apify Residential Proxies** to avoid Google blocks on large runs - Keep `maxResultsPerQuery` under 60 for reliable results - Combine with location keywords for precise targeting: `"plumber Paris 15"`, `"restaurant Lyon Croix-Rousse"` - Results are exported as JSON, CSV, Excel directly from the Apify console ### Pricing model (Apify Store) Suggested: **$0.50 per 1 000 results** (usage-based)\ Or flat subscription: **$29/month for 5 000 results/month** ### Local development ```bash npm install npx playwright install chromium npm start ``` Set your input in `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` before running locally. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of search queries to run on Google Maps. Example: \['plumber Paris', 'cleaning company Marseille'] ## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to scrape per search query. ## `language` (type: `string`): Language for Google Maps results (affects display language of results). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Apify Residential Proxies recommended to avoid blocks. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "nettoyage toiture Arles", "nettoyage façade Bouches-du-Rhône" ], "maxResultsPerQuery": 20, "language": "fr", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQueries": [ "nettoyage toiture Arles", "nettoyage façade Bouches-du-Rhône" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("kilometric_spider/google-maps-business-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
