## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## Google Maps Contact Details Scraper

Find businesses on Google Maps and get their **email addresses, phone numbers and social media profiles** — pulled directly from each business's own website.

This Actor is fully standalone: it scrapes Google Maps and business websites using its own code, with no dependency on any other Actor.

### What you get

For every business, one row containing:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `title` | Business name |
| `emails` | Email addresses found on the website |
| `phone` | Phone number from Google Maps |
| `phonesFromWebsite` | Phone numbers found on the website |
| `website`, `domain` | Business website |
| `address` | Address as shown on Google Maps |
| `linkedIns`, `facebooks`, `instagrams`, `twitters`, `youtubes`, `tiktoks` | Social profiles found on the website |
| `url` | Link back to the Google Maps listing |

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or pull it through the API.

### How to use it

1. Enter one or more **search terms** (e.g. `dentist`, `plumber`).
2. Enter a **location** (e.g. `Chandigarh, India`).
3. Set **max places per search term**. Start small (5-10) while testing.
4. Click **Start**.

Tick **Only keep results that have an email** for a clean outreach list.

### How it works

1. Opens Google Maps in a real browser and searches your term + location.
2. Opens each business listing and reads its name, address, phone and website.
3. Visits each business website directly and scans a few pages for emails, phones and social links.
4. Merges everything into one row per business.

### A note on run time

This Actor uses real browser automation for the Google Maps step, which is slower than a lightweight scraper but more reliable long-term since it's not dependent on any other service. Expect a few minutes for small runs and proportionally longer for larger ones, since it visits every business website individually.

### Is this legal?

This Actor only collects information businesses publish publicly on their own websites and on Google Maps. How you *use* that data is your responsibility — email outreach rules differ by country (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, etc). Check what applies to you before running a campaign.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchStringsArray` (type: `array`):

What to search for, e.g. 'dentist'. One term per line.

## `locationQuery` (type: `string`):

Where to search, e.g. 'Chandigarh, India'.

## `maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

How many businesses to collect for each search term. Start small while testing.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Language of the Google Maps results.

## `maxPagesPerWebsite` (type: `integer`):

How many pages of each business website to scan for contact details. Higher finds more but takes longer.

## `skipPlacesWithoutWebsite` (type: `boolean`):

Businesses with no website can never have an email, so they are usually not worth keeping.

## `onlyPlacesWithEmail` (type: `boolean`):

Turn on for a clean lead list. Turn off to keep every business.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchStringsArray": [
    "dentist"

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchStringsArray": [
        "dentist"
    ],
    "locationQuery": "Chandigarh, India"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("leadforge_labs/google-maps-niches-city-scraper5911").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "searchStringsArray": ["dentist"],
    "locationQuery": "Chandigarh, India",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("leadforge_labs/google-maps-niches-city-scraper5911").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,leadforge_labs/google-maps-niches-city-scraper5911"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
