Google Maps Scraper & API: Business Leads, Emails & Phones

Turn any Google Maps search into a clean list of businesses: name, category, full address, phone, website, rating, number of reviews, opening hours, GPS coordinates and Place ID, and optionally the e-mails and social profiles published on each business's website. Type what you would type in Google Maps (plumber in Austin, dentist 75011 Paris) and get up to 700 places per search.

It calls a commercial search data API instead of driving a browser: results in seconds, no proxies, no blocked runs, no Google account. You pay for places returned (see the Pricing tab for any other fee): searches with no result and places removed by your filters are free.

Typical uses

• Lead generation: local businesses by trade and city, with phone, website and (option contactDetails) e-mails and social profiles, ready for your CRM or outreach list.
• Web design and marketing agencies: find businesses without a website (website: "without") or with a low rating.
• Local SEO: see who ranks in the Google Maps pack for a query, with rating, review count and claimed status.
• Market research: count and map competitors, franchises or points of sale in an area.
• Automations and AI agents: feed n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets or an MCP client with structured JSON.

What you get for each place

Field	Description
name, category, additionalCategories, categoryIds	Business name and Google categories (categoryIds are language-independent, e.g. pizza_restaurant)
address, street, city, postalCode, region, countryCode	Address, also split into parts
latitude, longitude	GPS coordinates
phone	Business phone, international format
website, domain, bookingUrl	Website listed on Google Maps, its domain, Google booking link
websiteType	NONE (no link on Google Maps), PLATFORM_PAGE (only a Facebook, Instagram, Yelp or delivery page) or OWN_SITE
rating, reviewsCount, ratingDistribution	Average rating, number of ratings, count of 1 to 5 star ratings
priceLevel, isClaimed, photosCount, imageUrl	Price level, whether the owner claimed the listing, photos
openingHours	Hours per weekday, e.g. {"monday": ["09:00-17:30"]}; an empty list means closed
placeId, cid, googleMapsUrl	Google identifiers and a direct Google Maps link
rank	Position in the Google Maps results for your query (sponsored pins excluded)
searchQuery, observedAt	The query that found it and when (UTC)

With contactDetails: true, each place also gets what its own website publishes:

Field	Description
email, emails	First e-mail and all e-mails found (max 10), addresses on the business's own domain first
websitePhones	Phone numbers linked on the website
facebookUrl, instagramUrl, linkedinUrl, xUrl, youtubeUrl, tiktokUrl	Social profiles the website links to (share buttons, posts and personal Facebook / LinkedIn profile links ignored)
contactStatus	FOUND, NONE_FOUND, OPTED_OUT (the site objects to solicitation: nothing returned, not billed), LEGAL_NOTICE_UNREADABLE (its legal notice could not be read now: nothing returned, not billed), NO_WEBSITE, PLATFORM_PAGE (the website is a social page), or why the site could not be read (TIMEOUT, BLOCKED_BY_BOT_PROTECTION, ROBOTS_TXT_DISALLOWED...)
contactPagesChecked	Pages read: the homepage, plus up to 2 contact or legal pages when the homepage shows no e-mail (team and about pages are never read)
contactOptOut	true when a page read objects to solicitation: e-mails, phones and social profiles are then empty (see Personal data and GDPR)

The website is read like a normal visit (no browser, robots.txt respected): addresses shown only after JavaScript runs or hidden behind a contact form are not found. In our tests of 08.10.2026, an e-mail was found for 45 of 79 Chicago plumbers' websites, 86 of 95 Munich dentists' websites (German sites publish one in their Impressum) and 11 of 19 Austin coffee shops; about 5 websites read per second for each search (79 in 16 s in Chicago). These figures predate the exclusion of sites that object to solicitation, which is common in German Impressum pages: expect fewer e-mails there.

categoryIds and priceLevel are empty since October 13, 2026: the data source stopped returning them (checked on real runs on October 13 and 14); category and additionalCategories are unaffected. Missing values are always null (lists are empty), never guessed. Each place appears once per run: a place found by several of your searches is returned, and charged, only for the first one (placesInEarlierQueries in OUTPUT counts the others).

Pricing

Pay per place returned, no subscription, no proxy costs. See the Pricing tab for current prices: one event per place found, cheaper on higher Apify plans. Hours, phone, website and coordinates are included in that price (no "details" add-on).

Contact details (option contactDetails) are a second event, contact details found, charged only for websites that show at least one e-mail, phone link or social profile, once per website per run: the other places of a chain get the same details for free. Places without a website, sites that cannot be loaded, sites with nothing found and sites that object to solicitation are free.

Price change on November 6, 2026: a small Actor start fee of $0.003 per run (one event per GB of memory; the Actor uses at most 1 GB), as on our Google Maps Email Extractor. Place and contact prices do not change. Until then there is no fee per run.

Searches with no result, duplicates, places removed by your filters and input mistakes cost nothing. The run never spends more than the maximum cost you set.

Free Apify plan: each run returns up to 20 places for up to 2 queries, so you can check the output. A paid Apify plan removes these limits.

Use it from code, automations or AI agents

API (one call, results returned directly):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/plainrows~google-maps-businesses/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries": ["coffee shop in Austin, TX"], "maxPlacesPerQuery": 50}'

n8n, Make, Zapier: use the Apify integration, pick plainrows/google-maps-businesses, and map the dataset items to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Airtable or your database.

AI agents (MCP): add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=plainrows/google-maps-businesses to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. The agent gets a typed tool and pays per result.

What this is not

• No reviews text, no reviewer names. E-mails come only from the business's own website, with the contactDetails option: no guessed addresses, no personal profiles looked up elsewhere.
• Not a full Google Maps clone: popular times, menus and Q&A are not included.
• Not affiliated with Google.

Personal data and GDPR

With contactDetails, contact fields contain only what each business publishes on its own website: no guessed addresses, nothing bought or looked up elsewhere. Personal profile links (LinkedIn /in/ pages, Facebook profile.php and /people/ links) are dropped, e-mails hidden in the page code and people's details in structured data are ignored, and team or staff pages are never read. When a page read explicitly objects to solicitation (for example "Widerspruch gegen Werbe-E-Mails", "no unsolicited sales calls", "pas de démarchage"), no e-mail, phone or social profile is returned for that site, contactOptOut is true and nothing is billed. A published business e-mail can still name a person: you are responsible for using the data lawfully (GDPR, ePrivacy and anti-spam rules, for example a documented legitimate interest for B2B outreach and an easy way to object). To have a website excluded, open an issue in the Issues tab of this Actor on Apify Store.

Run summary

Each run stores a summary in the key-value store (OUTPUT): queries run, queries with no result, places billed, places removed by filters, duplicates and invalid queries, and anything skipped because of the free-plan or budget limit.

FAQ

How do I export businesses from Google Maps to Excel or Google Sheets? Enter searches such as plumber in Austin, TX, run, then download the results as CSV or Excel from the run page, or send them to Google Sheets with n8n, Make or Zapier.

Can I find businesses without a website? Yes: set website to without, and requirePhone to keep only places with a phone number. Places removed by these filters are not billed.

How many places can I get per search? 1 to 700 per search (maxPlacesPerQuery). To cover a large city, run several searches by neighbourhood, or search around coordinates with a closer zoom.

Do I need proxies, a browser or a Google account? No. The data comes from a commercial search data API, so runs are fast and you pay per place returned (see the Pricing tab).

Does it return e-mails? Yes, with contactDetails: true: the e-mails, phone links and business social profiles that each business publishes on its own website, billed only when something is found. Addresses are never guessed or bought from a database, and sites that object to solicitation are skipped. You are responsible for using them lawfully (see Personal data and GDPR).

Does it return reviews? No review texts and no reviewer names: only the rating, the number of reviews and the count per star.
