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 Scraper — Places, Reviews & Contact Data Extract business data from Google Maps with no API key. Get names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews, coordinates, opening hours, and more. --- ### What You Get | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Business name | | `category` | Business type (e.g. "Coffee shop") | | `address` | Full street address | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Business website URL | | `review_rating` | Average rating (1.0–5.0) | | `review_count` | Total number of reviews | | `status` | Open / Closed / Temporarily closed | | `description` | Business description | | `price_range` | Price indicator ($, $$, $$$) | | `open_hours` | Hours per day of week | | `latitude` | GPS latitude | | `longitude` | GPS longitude | | `plus_code` | Google Plus Code | | `images` | Up to 5 photo URLs | | `reviews` | Top 10 reviews (optional) | | `link` | Direct Google Maps URL | --- ### Example Inputs #### Find restaurants in a city ```json { "query": "restaurants in New York", "maxResults": 50 } ```` #### Lead gen — local businesses ```json { "query": "plumbers in Austin Texas", "maxResults": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` #### Scrape reviews too ```json { "query": "coffee shops in London", "maxResults": 20, "scrapeReviews": true } ``` *** ### Use Cases - **Lead generation** — build lists of local businesses with contact info - **Competitor research** — track competitor ratings, reviews, locations - **Market analysis** — map business density in any area - **Real estate** — find nearby amenities for property listings - **Travel & hospitality** — aggregate restaurants, hotels, attractions - **Review monitoring** — track what customers say about businesses *** ### Pricing Pay per result scraped. You only pay for what you get. | Volume | Cost per place | |--------|---------------| | 1–100 | $0.005 | | 100–1000 | $0.003 | | 1000+ | $0.002 | *** ### Proxy Recommendation Google Maps has aggressive bot detection. **Residential proxies are strongly recommended** for scraping at scale. Configure in the `proxyConfiguration` input field using Apify Residential proxies. *** ### Output Example ```json { "title": "Joe's Coffee", "category": "Coffee shop", "address": "123 Main St, New York, NY 10001", "phone": "+1 (212) 555-0100", "website": "https://joescoffee.com", "review_rating": 4.5, "review_count": 843, "status": "Open", "description": "Cozy neighborhood cafe serving specialty espresso drinks.", "price_range": "$$", "open_hours": { "monday": "7:00 AM – 8:00 PM", "tuesday": "7:00 AM – 8:00 PM" }, "latitude": 40.7128, "longitude": -74.006, "plus_code": "87G8+Q2 New York", "images": ["https://..."], "search_query": "coffee shops in New York", "scraped_at": "2026-04-08T12:00:00Z" } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): **What to search on Google Maps** Examples: • `restaurants in New York` • `dentists in London` • `coffee shops near Times Square` • `plumbers in Austin Texas` • `hotels in Paris France` ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): **Maximum number of places to scrape** 🟢 Quick test: 5–20 🟡 Normal: 20–100 🔴 Large: 100–500 ⚠️ Google Maps shows ~120 results per search query. Use a specific location for more focused results. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): **Number of places to scrape in parallel** ⚡ Higher = faster. Default 5 works well with residential proxies. 🔴 Warning: above 10 may trigger rate limiting. ## `scrapeReviews` (type: `boolean`): **Extract top 10 reviews for each place** ✅ Enabled: Get reviewer name, rating, date, and review text ❌ Disabled: Skip reviews (faster, cheaper) ⚠️ Adds ~3s per place ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): **Proxy settings for reliable scraping** 📌 Recommended: Apify Residential proxies • Best success rate against Google's anti-bot • 💰 ~$8/GB 💡 Tip: Use country-specific sessions to get localized results ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "restaurants in New York", "maxResults": 20, "concurrency": 5, "scrapeReviews": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
