Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Maps Local Business Scraper — EN / FR / ES Scrape Google Maps for business listings at scale. Extract highly accurate names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews, coordinates, and categories from any location worldwide. Built for speed and cost-efficiency, this scraper features native multilingual support for English, French, and Spanish queries. No Google API key required. ### What does this scraper do? This Apify actor extracts rich structured data directly from Google Maps search results. Give it a list of search keywords (e.g., "coffee shops in London"), and it will return detailed information about every matching business in a clean, exportable format. ### Why use this scraper? - **Lead Generation:** Build highly targeted lists of local businesses complete with phone numbers and websites. - **Market Research:** Analyze competitor density, ratings, and reviews in any specific city or neighbourhood. - **Local SEO:** Monitor your clients' business listings and track their rating performance over time. - **Data Enrichment:** Seamlessly enrich your CRM with pristine location data. ### Pricing 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 ```json { "searchQueries": ["coffee shops in Paris"], "language": "en", "maxResults": 20, "includeOpeningHours": false } ```` ### Output Data The scraper stores results in your Apify dataset. Each place is stored as a separate item with the following key fields: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `name` | string | Business or place name | | `category` | string | Business category (e.g., "Coffee shop") | | `address` | string | Short street address | | `fullAddress` | string | Complete postal address (if available) | | `phone` | string | Phone number | | `website` | string | Website URL | | `rating` | number | Average rating (1.0 - 5.0) | | `reviewCount` | integer | Total number of reviews | | `latitude` | number | Latitude coordinate | | `longitude` | number | Longitude coordinate | | `googleMapsUrl` | string | Direct link to the Google Maps listing | #### Output Example ```json { "name": "Café de Flore", "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"`). # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of search terms. Examples: 'restaurants Paris', 'dentiste Lyon', 'abogados Madrid' ## `language` (type: `string`): Language for Google Maps UI — affects result labels and address formats ## `city` (type: `string`): Optional city or location to automatically combine with your search queries (e.g., 'London', 'New York'). ## `countryCode` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code to bias results geographically ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of business listings to extract per search query. Google Maps serves a maximum of ~120 results per search query regardless of this setting. For larger extractions, split your search into multiple geo-specific queries (e.g. 'restaurants Soho', 'restaurants Mayfair', etc.). ## `includeOpeningHours` (type: `boolean`): Visit each listing's detail page to get website, phone, full address, and opening hours. Slower but more complete data. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Leave default for Apify datacenter proxies (included free). ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "restaurants near Eiffel Tower", "dentiste Lyon", "abogados Madrid centro" ], "language": "en", "city": "", "countryCode": "", "maxResults": 20, "includeOpeningHours": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "SHADER" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
