FAQ and Disclaimer

Is this legal? Web scraping public data is generally permitted, but always review Google's Terms of Service and your local regulations before large-scale use. This Actor scrapes publicly visible information only.

Will it get blocked? For reasonable request volumes, the Actor works well without a proxy. For high-volume scraping, consider using Apify Proxy (configure via input).

Missing fields? Some fields (phone, website, hours) may not appear in search results for all places — Google sometimes requires opening the place detail page directly.

Need reviews? Use Google Maps Place Detail Scraper to scrape reviews from specific place URLs.
