📍 Google Maps Shared List Scraper

The Google Maps Shared List Scraper resolves shared maps.app.goo.gl URLs, parses the underlying list payload, and enriches every place with full Google Maps detail data. You get names, categories, addresses, coordinates, phone numbers, websites, ratings, photos, weekly hours, accessibility attributes, and on paid plans, emails scraped from the place website plus the top 10 reviews.

Shared Google Maps lists are the way people bookmark restaurants, hotels, cafes, and travel spots. They are trivial to build and share, but Google offers no export button, no public API, and no bulk lookup. This Actor closes that gap. Paste one URL or one hundred, get a clean CSV or JSON, and move on.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Travel planners, food bloggers, sales teams, market researchers, real-estate analysts, agencies, relocation consultants	Trip itineraries, lead lists from curated city guides, competitor mapping, venue outreach campaigns, dataset building, content syndication

📋 What the Google Maps Shared List Scraper does

One compact workflow turns a shared list link into a structured dataset:

• 🔗 Short link resolver. Expands maps.app.goo.gl/... and long google.com/maps/@.../data=... URLs.
• 📌 List parser. Reads place IDs, CIDs, coordinates, and list metadata directly from the shared payload.
• 🔍 Place enricher. Fetches the full Google Maps detail record for every place in parallel.
• 🧹 Deduplicator. Merges the same place across multiple lists and preserves every source list reference.
• 📧 Email extraction. Visits the place website and pulls publicly listed contact emails (paid plan).
• ⭐ Review collector. Captures the top 10 visible reviews with author, rating, text, and date (paid plan).
• 📷 Photo gallery. Full photo set per place including the owner-submitted hero image (paid plan).
• 🕒 Weekly hours. Seven-day opening schedule plus current open/closed status (paid plan).

Each output row carries an imageUrl, a Google Maps URL, latitude, longitude, plus code, timezone, category hierarchy, accessibility flags, and source list tracking so you always know where a place came from.

💡 Why it matters: a curated Google Maps list is the closest thing to a vetted recommendation. Turning that recommendation into a workable spreadsheet or CRM import used to mean copy-paste or custom scraping. This Actor makes the whole list downloadable in one click.

maxPlacesPerList	integer	100	Cap on places extracted from each list. Free plan capped at 10, paid plan up to 500.
enableAIEnrichment	boolean	false	Adds travel-recommendation scores, best-for tags, and fills missing websites when enabled.
openRouterApiKey	string	null	Required only when enableAIEnrichment is on. Stored as a secret.

Example: a single Tokyo food list.

{
    "listUrls": ["https://maps.app.goo.gl/MMjvFNWpUTjiupHc9"],
    "maxPlacesPerList": 100,
    "outputFormat": "csv"
}

Example: merge three city guides into one deduplicated dataset.

{
    "listUrls": [
        "https://maps.app.goo.gl/MMjvFNWpUTjiupHc9",
        "https://maps.app.goo.gl/abc123xyz",
        "https://maps.app.goo.gl/def456uvw"
    ],
    "maxPlacesPerList": 200,
    "maxConcurrency": 8,
    "outputFormat": "json"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: the list itself must be shared publicly. Private lists and lists shared only with a specific Google account cannot be read. Emails, full hours, photo galleries, and reviews are paid-plan fields. Free runs return the core 20 fields for up to 10 places per list.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Paste one or more shared list URLs. The Actor expands any maps.app.goo.gl/... short link, reads the underlying list payload (place IDs and coordinates), and fetches the full Google Maps detail record for every place in parallel. Results are deduplicated across lists and returned as a structured dataset.

🔗 Which URL formats are supported?

Short links in the form https://maps.app.goo.gl/... and full list URLs in the form https://www.google.com/maps/@.../data=.... Anything you can share from the Google Maps app or website should resolve.

🔒 Does the list have to be public?

Yes. Only lists shared publicly (anyone with the link) can be read. Lists shared privately with specific Google accounts are not accessible.

📧 How does email extraction work?

On paid plans, the Actor visits the place website and pulls any publicly listed contact email from the homepage and common contact pages. Only publicly exposed addresses are captured.

⭐ Can I get reviews?

Yes, on paid plans. The Actor returns the top 10 visible reviews per place with author name, star rating, text, and published date.

🕒 Do I get weekly business hours?

Yes, on paid plans. The full 7-day schedule is returned in the businessHours array. Free plans still see the currentStatus field (for example, Closed · Opens 10 AM).

🔁 What if the same place appears in multiple lists?

The Actor deduplicates automatically. The merged record keeps every originating list in the sourceLists and sourceListNames arrays so you know which lists contributed.

🌐 Do I need a Google API key?

No. The Actor works entirely off public list data and public Google Maps pages. No Google Cloud project, no OAuth, no billing setup.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to re-run this Actor on any cron interval (hourly, daily, weekly) and keep a downstream CRM or spreadsheet in sync with the source list.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan?

No. The free plan is enough for testing (10 places per list). A paid plan adds emails, reviews, full hours, full photo galleries, and lifts the per-list cap to 500 places.

🔁 What happens if a run fails?

Apify retries transient errors automatically. If a run still fails, inspect the log in the Runs tab, adjust the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved.
