What you get per business

• 🏢 Name, category & extra categories — the business and everything it's tagged as.
• 🏷️ Machine-readable category IDs — coffee_shop, meal_takeaway — filter and join without string matching.
• 📍 Full address, parsed — street, borough, city, region/state, ZIP, country code, plus latitude/longitude.
• 📞 Phone number — direct dialing data for outreach.
• 🌐 Website & booking link — domain, full URL, and an online-booking URL when listed.
• ⭐ Rating, review count & hotel rating — social proof and popularity signals.
• 📊 Full star breakdown — the exact count of 1★, 2★, 3★, 4★ and 5★ reviews, not just the average.
• 🎯 Why it ranked — Google's own local justifications, the review snippets it used to match the business to your search.
• ✅ Claimed status — whether the owner has claimed the listing.
• 🕒 Opening hours & current status — full weekly timetable plus open/closed.
• 🖼️ Main image & total photo count — visual + popularity signal.
• 🆔 Place ID, CID & feature ID — stable Google identifiers for dedup and joins.
• 💲 Price level — qualify leads at a glance.
• 💬 Reviews (optional) — flip on Include reviews to also pull each place's individual reviews: rating, text, author, date, and the owner's reply.

Fields most Maps scrapers don't return

Field	What it is	Why it matters
rating_distribution	{"1": 75, "2": 59, "3": 128, "4": 381, "5": 1341}	A 4.4 built on 75 one-star reviews is a very different lead from a clean 4.4. Most scrapers return only the average — this one returns the whole curve.
is_claimed	true / false	Unclaimed listings are the single easiest local-SEO pitch there is. Filter for false and you have a call list.
local_justifications	Review snippets Google used to match the place	Shows why a competitor ranks for your keyword — the exact language Google is rewarding.
category_ids	["coffee_shop", "cafe"]	Stable machine IDs, so your pipeline isn't matching on translated display names.

Filters

• Minimum rating — keep only places rated at or above N stars.
• Category filter words — keep only places whose category contains your keyword(s).
• Skip closed places — drop permanently/temporarily closed listings.

Grid search — get past Google's result cap

Google returns at most ~180–250 results for any single Maps search, no matter how high you set Results per query. That's Google's limit, not the scraper's — and it's why "scrape every dentist in Chicago" normally can't be done in one search.

Turn on Grid search and the actor splits your area into a grid of map tiles, searches each tile separately, and merges everything into one list — de-duplicated by place ID, so you're never billed twice for the same business.

• Grid size — 2×2 up to 5×5 tiles (a 3×3 grid = 9 tiles).
• Grid radius (km) — how far out the grid reaches. ~5 km for a city centre, 25–50 km for a whole metro.

Each tile is a separate search, so a bigger grid costs proportionally more — but it reaches businesses a single search physically cannot return. The run summary reports cells_searched and duplicates_removed so you can see exactly what the grid bought you.

{
  "queries": ["coffee shop austin tx"],
  "gridSearch": true,
  "gridSize": 3,
  "gridRadiusKm": 5

FAQ

Do I need proxies, API keys, or to handle captchas? No — no API keys required and no proxies to configure. Just enter searches.

Why do I only get ~200 results even at max depth? That's Google's own cap on a single Maps search. Turn on Grid search to tile the area and merge de-duplicated results past that ceiling.

Which countries are supported? 190+ countries and all major languages.

Can I get emails too? This actor returns phone + website. For email enrichment, pair it with our Google Maps B2B Lead Finder.

Great for AI agents? Yes — clean structured JSON, ideal for MCP servers, n8n, Make, and LLM agents.
