How many results can you scrape with Google Maps Places Scraper?

Google Maps Places Scraper can extract hundreds or thousands of unique local businesses across multiple search queries and locations. However, you have to keep in mind that scraping google.com/maps has several variables that may cause results to vary case by case:

• Google Maps typically returns up to ~120 results per single search query and viewport before exhausting the local feed
• splitting broad city searches into neighborhood or ZIP-code queries (e.g., "dentist 78701", "dentist 78702", "dentist 78704") multiplies total place coverage across a metro area
• Free plan runs are capped at 40 places per run to prevent accidental credit exhaustion (paid plans have no per-run cap)

Therefore, to harvest thousands of leads across a major city or state, pass an array of neighborhood-level or ZIP-level search strings in queries.

Frequently asked questions about Google Maps Places Scraper

🛡️ Do I need a Google account or custom proxies to scrape Google Maps?
No — everything works out of the box with zero setup. Regional routing, session management, and anti-blocking are handled automatically so you do not need to configure custom proxy settings.

📞 How do I get the highest phone number and website coverage?
Keep enrich (scrapePlaceDetails) set to true (the default) so the scraper opens each place panel to capture phone numbers and website URLs. To also extract email addresses and Instagram/Facebook links from the business's own website, set scrapeContacts: true.

💰 Am I charged for website add-ons if a business has no website?
No. Optional add-on events (website-contacts, tech-stack, rag-markdown) are only charged when the place has a valid website and the enrichment succeeds.

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps business data?

Our local business scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract publicly listed business contact and location details published on Google Maps and public company websites. However, you should always comply with applicable laws and terms when using extracted data for outreach.

If you're unsure about your specific use case, you can read the Apify blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.
