Google Maps Shared List Scraper

🗺️ Export places from a Google Maps shared list

Google Maps Shared List Scraper helps travelers, researchers, and sales teams turn public Google Maps shared lists into structured place data. Add one or more public list links and get rows with source-list details, addresses, ratings, phone numbers, websites, hours, photos, reviews, and more when Google Maps shows them.

Use cases

• Export a saved restaurant shortlist with Google Maps Restaurant List Export.
• Move saved trip ideas into a dataset with Google Maps Travel List Export.
• Prepare list rows for a spreadsheet with Google Maps Shared List to Spreadsheet.
• Collect saved venues for research with Google Maps Venue List Scraper.
• Build a local lead list with Google Maps Local Lead List.
• Compare ratings and review counts with Google Maps Place Rating Comparison.
• Preserve creator notes and list order with Google Maps List Notes Export.

📦 Google Maps place and list data

Each saved dataset row represents the first eligible match for one place from a public shared list. The row keeps list position and source-list context with public place details. Google Maps may not expose every field for every place, so unavailable fields can be absent.

🚀 Run the shared-list export

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more public links under Shared list URLs.
3. Set Places per list and, if needed, Total places.
4. Start the run and open the dataset.

Public list rules

Short maps.app.goo.gl links and full google.com/maps shared-list links are accepted when they lead to a public list. Private or login-protected lists are not supported.

⚙️ Input

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
listUrls	array of string	Required public Google Maps shared-list links, one per line. Short links and full shared-list links work.
maxPlacesPerList	integer	Optional positive cap for each list. Leave it empty to return all available places until the source is exhausted.
maxResults	integer	Optional positive cap across the run. Leave it empty to return all available places until the source is exhausted.
includeWebsiteEmails	boolean	When on, visit discovered business websites and add public contact emails when found. This can make the run take longer.

Example place row

This shortened row is copied from a successful current-beta run with Website emails enabled and a public email found. It keeps useful place, list, and contact fields. The photos and reviews arrays use the string "..." as an omission marker, so this is not a complete row.

You can export dataset rows in the formats offered by Apify or read them through the dataset API.

💳 Pricing

Saved-place charges

Pay-per-event pricing charges one event for each place saved to the dataset. Your total depends on the number of places saved and the current event price shown by Apify.

🔌 Integrations

Workflow options

Use the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, or available Apify integrations to send saved rows to your workflow. This video shows how to connect an Actor with other tools:

❓ FAQ

Can I use a short Google Maps link?

Yes. Add a public maps.app.goo.gl shared-list link or a full Google Maps shared-list link.

Can I submit more than one shared list?

Yes. Add one or more public list links. The saved row keeps the source-list context for its first eligible match.

Can I scrape a private Google Maps list?

No. The list must open without a Google login.

Can I run the Actor through the Apify API?

Yes. Start the Actor with the same public input and read the default dataset after the run.

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

No. Add the public shared-list URL to the Actor input.

Why are some place fields empty?

Google Maps may not show every field for every place. The Actor keeps the public fields available for that place.

Does businessHours always contain the full week?

No. It contains the opening hours Google Maps exposes for that place, which may be only part of the week.

What happens when a place appears more than once?

The first eligible match is saved. A later match for the same place is ignored, so the saved row keeps only the first list context.
