❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to configure proxies or a Google account?

No. Residential proxy rotation and anti-blocking are included automatically. No Google login or cookies are required for place search extraction.

How do I get the best phone and website coverage?

Keep enrich set to true. The Actor opens place panels to harvest phone and website when those fields are missing from the search feed.

Can I target a specific city or country?

Yes. Include the city in each query, set the optional location suffix, and use countryCode / language (plus optional lat / lng / radiusMeters) for geo bias.

Is scraping Google Maps legal?

This Actor extracts publicly visible business listing fields for research and lead-generation workflows. For general context on web scraping compliance, read Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping.
