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.

The default configuration uses Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy group. Google Maps will block requests from datacenter IPs. ### Cost Pricing: $0.005 per result (Pay Per Event). A typical run of 100 businesses costs ~$0.50. Memory recommendation: 4096 MB for optimal performance with Playwright browser. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Google Maps search queries (e.g., 'plumbers in Denver, CO', 'restaurants near Times Square'). Each query produces a separate set of results. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to scrape per search query. Google Maps typically shows up to ~400 results. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `scrapeEmails` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, crawls each business website to find email addresses. Adds ~1-2 seconds per business but provides valuable lead data. ## `scrapeReviews` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, extracts review text for each business. Makes scraping slower. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of reviews to extract per business (only used if Scrape Reviews is enabled). ## `language` (type: `string`): Google Maps interface language. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): REQUIRED: Google Maps blocks datacenter IPs. Use residential proxies for reliable scraping. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "plumbers in Denver, CO" ], "maxResults": 5, "scrapeEmails": true, "scrapeReviews": false, "maxReviews": 5, "language": "en", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # 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": [ "plumbers in Denver, CO" ], "maxResults": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/google-maps-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 📖?
