✨ What you get

For every place found, the scraper returns:

• Identity — name, category, subcategories, Google place_id
• Location — full address, city, postal code, region, latitude & longitude
• Contact — phone (local & international format), website
• Status — permanently/temporarily closed flags, price level
• Opening hours — per-day schedule
• Ratings — average score and total review count
• Photos — cover photo and photo count
• Maps URL — direct link to the place

Enable the Ratings, popular times & reviews add-on to also get:

• Review histogram — star-by-star distribution (1★–5★)
• Popular times — busy hours by day
• Exact review count and a sample of individual reviews (author, rating, text, language)

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Google Maps legal? This Actor extracts publicly available business information. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with applicable laws (including GDPR for any personal data).

Why is it cheaper than other scrapers? It runs over plain HTTP (no headless browser), so it uses far less compute, and we pass those savings on to you.

How do I get more places? Increase Number of places or add more search terms. For full-area coverage set it to 0 (no limit).

Can I schedule it or call it via API? Yes — like any Apify Actor, you can schedule runs, use the API, and integrate with Make, Zapier and others.
