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 Business Data Extractor Extract structured business data from Google Maps search results — names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, coordinates, and place IDs — without the Google Places API. ### Features - Search by any keyword and location (e.g. "plumber" + "Sydney") - Handles infinite scroll to load more results - Extracts full business details from individual place pages - Residential proxy support to avoid blocks - Automatic consent/cookie dialog handling - Fallback selectors for robustness against UI changes ### Extracted Fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `businessName` | string | Official business name | | `address` | string | Full street address | | `phone` | string | Phone number as listed | | `website` | string | Business website URL | | `rating` | number | Average star rating (1.0 – 5.0) | | `reviewCount` | integer | Total number of Google reviews | | `category` | string | Business category / type | | `coordinates` | object | `{ lat, lng }` decimal coordinates | | `placeId` | string | Google Maps internal place identifier | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `keyword` | string | `plumber` | Business type or service to search | | `location` | string | `Sydney` | City, suburb, or region | | `maxResults` | integer | `10` | Maximum businesses to return (1–200) | ### Example Input ```json { "keyword": "italian restaurant", "location": "Melbourne CBD", "maxResults": 25 } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "businessName": "Ace Plumbing Services", "address": "123 George St, Sydney NSW 2000", "phone": "+61 2 9000 0000", "website": "https://aceplumbing.com.au", "rating": 4.7, "reviewCount": 312, "category": "Plumber", "coordinates": { "lat": -33.8688, "lng": 151.2093 }, "placeId": "0x6b12ae665e892fdd:0x3133f3d6a854ae7b" } ``` ### Use Cases - **Lead generation** — Build targeted prospect lists for local service businesses - **Competitor research** — Analyse competitor ratings, locations, and contact details - **Market research** — Map business density and coverage across regions - **CRM enrichment** — Verify and enrich contact records with address and phone data - **Directory building** — Power local business directories with real-time Google Maps data - **SEO auditing** — Audit NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency across listings ### Pricing This actor uses **Residential proxies**, which consume proxy traffic. Approximate costs: | Results | Est. Compute | Est. Proxy Traffic | |---|---|---| | 10 | ~$0.01 | ~5 MB | | 50 | ~$0.04 | ~25 MB | | 100 | ~$0.08 | ~50 MB | *Actual costs vary by region and Google Maps response times.* ### Technical Notes - Uses Playwright with Chromium for full JavaScript rendering - Two-phase approach: collects place URLs via feed scroll, then visits each place page - Coordinates extracted from URL pattern `@lat,lng,zoom` - Place IDs extracted from the URL data segment where available - `maxResults` up to 200; Google Maps typically surfaces 60–120 results per search query # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Business type or service to search for (e.g. plumber, dentist, restaurant) ## `location` (type: `string`): City, suburb, or region to search in (e.g. Sydney, Melbourne CBD, New York) ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of businesses to extract ## Actor input object example ```json { "keyword": "plumber", "location": "Sydney", "maxResults": 10 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("rambunctious_fingerprint/google-maps-business-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
