Google Maps Ev Data Scraper
Get EV connector-type and payment-network reference data — no competing actor covers this from Google Maps. Talks directly to Google Maps' internal mobile API, no login needed. Split from the mature, published google-maps-all-in-one-api for a focused, single-purpose workflow.
What does Google Maps EV Data Scraper do?
Google Maps EV Data Scraper dumps three static Google Maps reference catalogs in one run: EV connector types (J1772, CCS, etc.) with adapter compatibility, EV charging payment networks (ChargePoint, etc.), and the business/place category catalog (the "More Categories" browser on the app's Explore tab). No input required.
It talks directly to the same private gRPC API the official Google Maps Android app uses (mobilemaps-pa-gz.googleapis.com), reverse-engineered and proven working in Google Maps Unofficial API — this is the reference-data slice of that all-in-one Actor, split out as its own focused batch-run Actor (/ev/connector-types, /ev/payment-networks, /categories).
Why use Google Maps EV Data Scraper?
- Real protobuf/gRPC data, not scraped HTML
- No input needed — run with
{}for a full dump, or toggle individual sections off - Populate a picker/filter UI — connector types, payment networks, and category labels/query text ready to feed into other tools, including google-maps-search-scraper's
queryfield - No account, no API key needed
Input
No fields are required. Optional toggles let you skip a section:
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
includeConnectorTypes | boolean | true | EV connector-type catalog + adapter compatibility. |
includePaymentNetworks | boolean | true | EV charging payment-network catalog. |
includeCategories | boolean | true | Business/place category groups. |
Example: {} (fetches everything).
Output
- One row
{ "type": "evConnectorTypes", "connectors": [...], "compat": [...] } - One row
{ "type": "evPaymentNetworks", "networks": [...], "country": "..." } - One row per category group:
{ "type": "category", "label": "Food & Drink", "iconUrl": "...", "items": [{ "label": "Coffee", "queryText": "Coffee" }] }
Known limitations
/categoriesonly reliably replays the one specific captured request confirmed to return the category catalog — related content (weather/air-quality summary, "Trending on Maps" carousel) that the same underlying endpoint can also return was not reliably isolatable and is not exposed here.countryfor payment networks is inferred server-side from the request's origin — it may not match the country you're interested in.- Search, autocomplete, place detail, reviews, directions, and geocoding are separate spin-off Actors — this one is reference-data only. See google-maps-search-scraper.
Pricing
Pay per event, via the ev-reference event — charged once per reference row pushed to the dataset, starting at $0.003 (FREE tier). A small, fixed number of rows per run since this is a reference dump, not a large scrape. See the Actor's Pricing tab for current rates.
