What is Google Maps Restaurant Scraper?

Google Maps Restaurant Scraper turns the target data into structured, reusable results on Apify. Use it when you need repeatable collection for analysts, developers, agencies, researchers, and AI-agent workflows without maintaining a custom scraper or one-off integration. Run it manually, schedule recurring jobs, call it through the Apify API, or connect it to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

The Actor stores results in an Apify dataset, where they can be previewed and exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS. Availability and completeness depend on the source, supplied inputs, public visibility, authentication requirements, and upstream rate limits.

Use cases for Google Maps Restaurant Scraper

• Build structured datasets for research, reporting, enrichment, or monitoring.
• Automate repetitive collection with schedules, webhooks, and API calls.
• Feed clean records into spreadsheets, databases, CRMs, BI tools, AI agents, or RAG pipelines.
• Track changes over time by running the same validated input on a schedule.
• Replace fragile manual copy-and-paste work with a reproducible Apify workflow.

How to use Google Maps Restaurant Scraper

1. Open the Actor input page and choose a focused, valid target.
2. Set a conservative result limit for the first run.
3. Start the Actor and inspect the dataset for coverage and field availability.
4. Export the results or connect the dataset to your downstream system.
5. Scale gradually and use scheduling, pagination, or proxies when supported.

Important input options

• searchQuery — What to search for on Google Maps. Example: 'Italian restaurants in Manhattan'. Use this when searching by keyword.
• location — Geographic area to search in. Examples: 'Manhattan, NY', 'Los Angeles, CA'.
• maxResults — Maximum number of restaurants to extract per search.
• scrapeReviews — When enabled, includes review counts and a warning that individual review text is not available from the direct search response.
• maxReviewsPerPlace — Retained for input compatibility; it does not change direct search results.
• scrapePhotos — When enabled, collects photo URLs from the restaurant gallery.
• language — Language code for results (e.g. 'en', 'es', 'fr').

Frequently asked questions

How many results can I scrape with Google Maps Restaurant Scraper?

The practical total depends on the source, input limits, pagination, available records, run timeout, and upstream restrictions. Start with a small run, verify the output, and increase the limit gradually.

Can I integrate Google Maps Restaurant Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Use Apify integrations, webhooks, schedules, dataset exports, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, cloud storage, or your own application.

Can I use Google Maps Restaurant Scraper with the Apify API?
