We believe in 100% transparent pricing. You only pay for what you extract.

• $0.0015 per result extracted.
• A search returning 100 businesses costs exactly $0.15.

Supported Languages

Unlike basic scrapers, this actor is natively optimized to handle international search intent:

Language	Example query
English	plumbers London
French	plombiers Lyon / restaurants Casablanca
Spanish	fontaneros Madrid / restaurantes Buenos Aires

Input Options

Field	Type	Description
searchQueries	array	Search terms to look for. Each keyword is searched independently.
language	string	Output Language. Controls the language of the extracted data (e.g., category names like "Coffee shop" vs "Café", and address formatting).
city	string	(Optional) A city name automatically appended to all queries to focus the search area (e.g., London).
countryCode	string	(Optional) Country code to bias results geographically (e.g., US, FR).
maxResults	integer	Maximum unique places to collect per query.
includeOpeningHours	boolean	Enrich Data Toggle. Set to true to visit each business's detail page. This is required to extract the website, phone, fullAddress, openingHours, and accurate reviewCount.

Input Example

{
  "searchQueries": ["coffee shops in Paris"],
  "language": "en",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "includeOpeningHours": false
}

address	string	Short street address
fullAddress	string	Complete postal address (if available)

Output Example

{

  "category": "Coffee shop",
  "address": "172 Bd Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris",
  "fullAddress": "172 Bd Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris, France",
  "phone": "+33 1 45 48 55 26",
  "website": "https://cafedeflore.fr",
  "rating": 4.3,
  "reviewCount": 12847,
  "latitude": 48.8539,
  "longitude": 2.3328,
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...",
  "openingHours": { "Monday": "8:00–18:00", "Tuesday": "8:00–18:00" },
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T20:31:03.588Z"
}

Note: fullAddress, phone, website, and openingHours are only populated when the Enrich Data toggle (includeOpeningHours) is set to true. Without enrichment, these fields will be null.

Proxy Configuration Strategy

To maximize success rates and avoid Google's anti-bot captchas, we strongly recommend following this dual-proxy strategy based on your Enrich Data toggle:

• Enrich Data OFF (Fast List Scraping): Use standard Datacenter Proxies. The scraper will use a special cookie bypass to extract list-level data extremely quickly without getting blocked.
• Enrich Data ON (Deep Extraction): Use Residential Proxies. When visiting individual business detail pages to extract websites, phone numbers, and hours, Google is highly defensive against bots. Residential Proxies use real household IP addresses, allowing the scraper to naturally bypass deep-navigation captchas.

Tips for Best Results

• Be specific: "plumbers in Manhattan, NY" works much better than just "plumbers".
• Use local languages: If searching in Spain, use "restaurantes Madrid" instead of "restaurants Madrid" for maximum coverage.
• Control your costs: Keep the Enrich Data toggle (includeOpeningHours) set to false unless you absolutely need websites or phone numbers, as visiting individual detail pages significantly increases compute usage and requires Residential Proxies.

Integrations

This scraper connects with almost any cloud service or web app via integrations on the Apify platform. You can seamlessly route your scraped data to:

• Make & Zapier — Automate workflows and connect to 5,000+ apps.
• Google Sheets — Export results directly to a live spreadsheet.
• Slack — Get notifications when scraping completes.
• Webhooks — Send results to any custom HTTP endpoint or CRM.

Notes & Limitations

• Results come from Google Maps public search — no account required.
• Respect Google's Terms of Service and applicable scraping laws in your jurisdiction.
• Google Maps returns a maximum of approximately 120 results per search query regardless of your maxResults setting. For large-scale extractions, split your search into multiple targeted queries by neighbourhood, district, or zip code (e.g. "coffee shops Soho", "coffee shops Mayfair", "coffee shops Camden").
