Google Maps Shared List Scraper

Turn any public Google Maps shared list into a structured dataset. Paste a maps.app.goo.gl link and get one row per saved place — name, creator note, full address, coordinates, categories, phone, website, rating, review count, opening hours, and photos — with optional Google reviews and website contact emails per place. JSON or CSV out, priced per place, not per compute unit.

Why Use This Scraper?

• ✅ Works with short maps.app.goo.gl links, full list links, and direct place links — all auto-classified
• ✅ One row per saved place, with the creator's note and list order preserved
• ✅ Rich place details: phone, website, rating, review count, hours, plus code, categories, photos
• ✅ Optional newest Google reviews attached to each place (translated to English when needed)
• ✅ Optional website email harvest — turn a saved list into a lead list
• ✅ No Google API key, no browser, no login — pure HTTP, a 63-place list exports in seconds
• ✅ Deduplicates places across lists automatically

Overview

The Google Maps Shared List Scraper is built for travelers, researchers, and sales teams who need the places saved in a public Google Maps list as structured data.

The output is place-shaped rows. Whether you start from a shared-list link or a direct place link, the dataset is a stream of place rows — one per unique place. List context (list ID, title, the creator's note, position in the list, saved-by name, saved-at date) rides along on each row when the place came from a list.

Private lists (ones that require a Google login to open) are not supported — only lists shared with a public link.

Bare CID	decimal number	214453715609291850

Copy-pasteable input

{
  "listUrls": [
    "https://maps.app.goo.gl/MMjvFNWpUTjiupHc9",
    "https://maps.google.com/?cid=214453715609291850"
  ]
}

Unsupported inputs

• ❌ Google Maps search-results URLs (/maps/search/...) — this actor is list- and place-focused
• ❌ goo.gl links that don't point at Google Maps

Use Cases

Audience	Use case
Travelers & creators	Export a trip shortlist to a spreadsheet, keep notes and list order
Sales & lead-gen teams	Turn a curated list of businesses into phones, websites, and emails
Researchers	Bulk-collect place metadata (categories, ratings, hours) for local-market analysis
Food & travel media	Compare saved venues by rating and review count, pull recent review quotes
Agencies	Deliver client-ready location datasets without writing scrapers

How It Works

1. Input — paste one or more public shared-list links and/or direct place links
2. Resolve — short links are followed to the underlying list; every input is auto-classified
3. Collect — one JSON call per list returns every saved place (up to Google's 500-place list cap)
4. Enrich — place details are fetched in parallel; reviews and website emails are added when enabled
5. Output — one row per unique place, exported as JSON, CSV, or via the dataset API

Common scenarios

1. Export a whole list

{
  "listUrls": ["https://maps.app.goo.gl/MMjvFNWpUTjiupHc9"]
}

2. Lead list with reviews and emails

{
  "listUrls": ["https://maps.app.goo.gl/MMjvFNWpUTjiupHc9"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviewsPerPlace": 5,
  "includeWebsiteEmails": true,
  "maxEmailsPerPlace": 3
}

3. Specific places only (no list)

{
  "listUrls": [
    "https://maps.google.com/?cid=214453715609291850",
    "https://www.google.com/maps/place/SAVOY/@35.6548695,139.7364827,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x60188b9e21c65eb1:0x6e98556d60ee756e!8m2!3d35.6548695!4d139.7364827"
  ]
}

Output Overview

Each dataset item is one place row containing:

• Identity — name, localName, placeId (feature id), placeIdChIJ, cid, knowledgeId, googleMapsUrl
• Location — address, streetAddress, city, state, postalCode, countryCode, latitude, longitude, plusCode, timezone
• Business info — categories, rating, phone, website, websiteDomain, currentStatus, businessHours, photos, thumbnail
• List context — note (the creator's note), listId, listTitle, sourceListUrl, sourceIndex, savedByName, savedAt
• Optional enrichment — reviews[] (when includeReviews), emails[] (when includeWebsiteEmails)

Fields Google doesn't publish for a given place come back null — e.g. a place without a phone listing has phone: null. businessHours carries the upcoming day(s) Google exposes publicly, not always the full week. If the same place appears in more than one submitted list, the first eligible match is kept and later matches are skipped.

FAQ

Can I use a short Google Maps link?

Yes. Short maps.app.goo.gl links and full google.com/maps list links both work — short links are resolved automatically.

Can I scrape a private Google Maps list?

No. The list must open without a Google login. Only public shared lists are supported.

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

No. The actor reads the same public endpoints the Google Maps website uses — no API key, no browser.

Why are some place fields empty?

Google Maps doesn't publish the same details for every place. A place without a listed phone number has phone: null; a place without a website has website: null. The actor keeps whatever public fields exist.

Does businessHours contain the full week?

Not always. Google's public place payload carries the upcoming day or two; the row also includes currentStatus (e.g. "Closed · Opens 11 AM"). If you need full weekly hours for every place, tell me via the Issues tab and I'll look at adding a deeper fetch.

What happens when a place is in two lists?

The first eligible match is saved; later matches for the same place are skipped, so the saved row keeps the first list's context (note, index, savedAt).

How reliable is the email lookup?

Best-effort. The actor visits the place's own website (homepage plus contact/about pages) and harvests publicly displayed emails. Places whose "website" is an Instagram or delivery-platform link usually yield no email — that's a property of the data.

What about rate limits?

Lists are fetched with a single call each and place details in parallel. For runs of hundreds of places, keep the default residential proxy enabled; Google may throttle heavy anonymous traffic from datacenter IPs.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/google-maps-list-scraper).

Purpose: exports every place saved in a public Google Maps shared list (or given as a direct place link) as one structured row — including the list creator's notes, plus optional reviews and website emails.

Minimal input:

{ "listUrls": ["https://maps.app.goo.gl/MMjvFNWpUTjiupHc9"], "maxResults": 10 }

Output: one dataset row per place — name, note, address, streetAddress, city, state, postalCode, countryCode, latitude, longitude, plusCode, timezone, categories[], rating, phone, website, websiteDomain, currentStatus, businessHours [{day, hours}], photos [{url, caption}], googleMapsUrl, placeId, placeIdChIJ, cid, listId, listTitle, sourceListUrl, sourceIndex, savedByName, savedAt, plus reviews[] when includeReviews and emails[] when includeWebsiteEmails.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• Always set maxResults — a list can hold up to 500 places, and multiple lists multiply that.
• listUrls accepts short links, full list links, direct place links, ?cid= URLs, and bare CIDs — mixed freely.
• Duplicate places across lists are deduplicated; the first match wins.
• Billing is per place row saved to the dataset. Unresolvable links and empty lists produce no charge.
• includeWebsiteEmails bills separately, as Contact email found, and only when an email is actually discovered — a place whose website yields nothing is never charged for the attempt. Leave the option off and you never see the event at all.
• Private (login-gated) lists fail with a logged warning — only public lists work. Fields Google doesn't publish are null.
