Google Maps Scraper: Places, Phones, Hours & Websites

What does Google Maps Scraper do?

Google Maps Scraper turns any Google Maps search into a list of businesses: name, category, address, phone in international format, website, rating, number of reviews, opening hours, coordinates and Google's own one-line description - one row per place, from any search term and city, in any language Google Maps speaks.

It reads Google Maps itself, so it is cheap: $1 per 1,000 places on the Free and Starter plans, where the most used Google Maps scraper charges $4 and $3. Permanently closed places are returned free. No API key, no Google account.

Run it from the Apify Console, through the API, on a schedule, or from an AI agent through Apify's MCP server.

Why use it?

• Lead lists of local businesses: every dentist, plumber or coffee shop in a city, with a phone to call and a website to visit.
• Market research: how many businesses of a kind a city has, how they are rated, when they open.
• Data for maps and apps: coordinates, opening hours, categories and Google place IDs.
• Cheap at scale: 10,000 places cost $10, with nothing billed on top.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab and type what you would search on Google Maps: "dentist", "coffee shop", "Steuerberater" - one term per line.
2. Type the location: a city and country work best ("Austin, TX, USA").
3. Set Places per search term, and click Start.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the Output tab.

How complete is it?

Measured on October 10, 2026: 11 searches in seven countries (restaurants in London, dentists in New York, garages in Berlin, hotels in Madrid, bakeries in Mexico City...), 1,926 places in 4 minutes, not one request refused.

Field	Places with it
Coordinates	1,926 (100%)
Rating	1,833 (95%)
Postcode	1,823 (95%)
Phone, in E.164	1,816 (94%)
Website	1,676 (87%)
Number of reviews	1,629 (85%)
Opening hours	1,629 (85%), the full week for 1,467 (76%)

Google answers some pages with today's hours only and no review counts; such a page is asked again up to twice, which brought the full week from 49% to 76% of places and review counts from 56% to 85%. One search for "restaurant" in London gave 1,000 places, all in Greater London, in 3 minutes.

On the 15 searches of an earlier test in six countries (300 places, October 9), 285 places were in the country searched; the most used Google Maps contact scraper, on the same searches, put 213 of its 300 there.

What it does not return: review texts, photos, popular times, and emails. For each business's email from its own website, use Google Maps Email Extractor.

How much does it cost?

$1 per 1,000 places on the Free and Starter plans, $0.90 on Scale, $0.80 from Business up, plus Apify's start fee of $0.00005 a run. Permanently closed places cost nothing. A search Google refuses costs nothing, and the run says so.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps? It reads public business listings, as a visitor would. You are responsible for how you use the data under the GDPR and local law, and for Google's Terms of Service.

Why fewer places than I asked for? Google lists up to about 200 places for one search; the Actor then asks the city in pieces, its suburbs included, up to about 1,000. Small towns simply have fewer businesses of a kind.

Why the wrong Berlin? A name several places share is read by Google: "car repair in Berlin" gives a few garages in Berlin, Maryland too. Give the country in the location: "Berlin, Germany".

Why no review count or only today's hours for some places? Google's search results leave them out for some places, and the Actor asks a page again when Google answered it in its short form - up to twice. Languages other than English get the short form more often.
