## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Maps Scraper - Business Leads with Phone & Website

Extract business listings from Google Maps: name, category, star rating, review count, phone number, website, full address and coordinates.

**You pay per place delivered.** Places filtered out by your own settings are never charged, and a query that returns nothing costs nothing.

### What you get

Every place is one row:

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `name` | Parker & Sons |
| `category` | HVAC contractor |
| `rating` | 4.7 |
| `reviews` | 683 |
| `phone` | +1 602-424-9619 |
| `website` | https://www.parkerandsons.com/ |
| `address` | 3636 E Anne St A, Phoenix, AZ 85040 |
| `city_state` | Phoenix, AZ 85040 |
| `lat` / `lng` | 33.4139155 / -112.0022947 |
| `placeId` | 0x872b0faad068d687:0xcb13480c28213ccd |
| `mapsUrl` | https://www.google.com/maps?cid=14633118831306947789 |
| `searchQuery` | hvac contractor Phoenix, AZ |

Export as CSV, JSON, Excel or feed it straight into your CRM through the Apify API.

### Input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": ["hvac contractor", "plumber"],
  "locations": ["Phoenix, AZ", "Dallas, TX"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 40,
  "minReviews": 20,
  "requireWebsite": true
}
```

Every search term is combined with every location, so the example above runs four searches. Leave `locations` empty if your terms already name a place.

#### Filters that save you money

- **`minReviews`** - skip businesses below a review threshold. Useful for screening out inactive or barely-established listings.
- **`requireWebsite`** - skip businesses with no website, which is usually what you want if the next step is finding an email address.

Both filters run before charging, so you are not billed for rows you asked to exclude.

### Notes

- Results are deduplicated across all your queries by phone number, falling back to name and address. Overlapping searches will not bill you twice for the same business.
- `maxResultsPerQuery` is a ceiling, not a guarantee. Google returns what it has for that query, and thin niches in small towns return fewer.
- Set `country` to change both the search region and the proxy exit country. Set `language` for the language of result text.
- If Google changes its response format, the run fails loudly and delivers nothing rather than silently returning partial data. You are never charged for a failed run.

### Related

Need verified email addresses rather than just websites? [Google Maps Leads with Verified Emails](https://apify.com/leadproof/google-maps-verified-leads) runs this sourcing step, crawls each website for a contact address, verifies deliverability over SMTP, and charges only for leads with a confirmed-deliverable email.

### Legal

This Actor collects information that businesses publish publicly on Google Maps. It does not collect personal data, log in to anything, or bypass access controls. You are responsible for using the output lawfully, including under GDPR, CCPA and any marketing or anti-spam rules that apply where you operate.

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).
