Tips for best results

• Start small - Run with 10-20 places first to check the output format
• Use residential proxy - The default proxy setting works best for Google Maps
• Enable AI for trip planning - The recommendations help you decide what's worth visiting
• Check the CSV - Download from Key-Value Store for a clean spreadsheet

Limitations

• Lists with 500+ items may take longer to process
• Some places may have limited public data (no phone or website)
• AI enrichment requires an OpenRouter API key
• Private or deleted lists will not work

Troubleshooting

Getting no results? Check that your list URL is a public shared link. Private lists can't be scraped.

Missing phone or website? Not all Google Maps listings have complete contact info. Enable AI enrichment to search for missing data.

Run taking too long? Lower the maxPlacesPerList setting or disable AI enrichment for faster runs.

AI recommendations empty? Make sure you entered your OpenRouter API key and enabled AI enrichment.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? The scraper pulls live data from Google Maps when you run it. Nothing is cached.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Use the Schedule tab to run daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule.

What list URL formats work? Both short URLs (maps.app.goo.gl/xxx) and full Google Maps URLs work.

What does AI enrichment add? It adds a 1-10 "worth visiting" score, travel recommendations, what each place is known for, who it's best for, and price range. It also searches for missing websites and phone numbers.

Is this legal? This scraper collects publicly available data from Google Maps. You are responsible for following the laws in your area.

Do I need my own proxies? No. Apify residential proxies are included and work best for Google Maps.
