Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Company Contact Scraper - Apify Actor Scrapes one company/place profile from Google Maps and outputs one dataset item with contact details, address data, ratings, review star distribution, photos, web results, and Google Maps identifiers. ### What It Extracts - Company/place name - Category and category list - Website and phone number - Full address plus parsed street, city, state, postal code, and country - Latitude/longitude - Google Maps URL, CID, feature ID, KG/MID, and optional Place ID - Rating, review count, and star distribution histogram - Opening hours - Photos and image URLs - Web results shown in the Google Maps panel - About/attribute data when available The actor does not return individual review text. It returns only the aggregate star distribution. ### How It Works 1. Resolves the target company using a strategy: `url`, `cid`, `placeId`, or `search`. 2. For search runs, optionally verifies the matched result by website domain. 3. Opens the Google Maps profile in Puppeteer. 4. Uses Google Maps `preview/place` data when available. 5. Enriches missing contact, rating, review distribution, photos, web results, and about fields from the live Maps page when `apiOnly` is `false`. 6. Pushes one item to the default Apify dataset. 7. Writes `OUTPUT_METADATA` to the default key-value store. ### Input At least one of `url`, `cid`, `placeId`, or `searchQuery` is required. If `strategy` is `auto` and multiple target fields are provided, the priority is: 1. `url` 2. `cid` 3. `placeId` 4. `searchQuery` | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---:|---|---| | `strategy` | string | No | `auto` | Target resolution method. Allowed values: `auto`, `url`, `cid`, `placeId`, `search`. | | `url` | string | Conditional | `null` | Full Google Maps place URL. | | `cid` | string | Conditional | `null` | Google Maps CID. Accepts decimal CID, Maps URL with `cid`/`ludocid`, `cid:123`, `ludocid=123`, or a URL with a hex CID pair. Keep large CIDs as strings. | | `placeId` | string | Conditional | `null` | Google Place ID. | | `searchQuery` | string | Conditional | `null` | Company name to search on Google Maps. | | `website` | string | No | `null` | Company website used to verify the correct search result. Strongly recommended with `searchQuery`. | | `proxyConfig` | object | No | Apify residential proxy | Apify proxy configuration. Residential proxies are recommended for cloud runs. | | `blockAssets` | boolean | No | `true` | Blocks image/font/media requests during the main scrape to reduce bandwidth. | | `apiOnly` | boolean | No | `false` | Uses only the Maps preview API and disables DOM fallback/enrichment. Leave `false` for best completeness. | | `language` | string | No | `en` | Google Maps UI language code, for example `en`, `es`, `fr`, `de`. | | `headless` | boolean | No | `true` | Puppeteer headless mode. Keep `true` on Apify Cloud. | ### Input Examples #### Search by Company Name and Website ```json { "strategy": "search", "searchQuery": "VAS Global | Virtual Assistant Services for Businesses", "website": "https://virtualassistantsolutions.com/", "language": "en", "blockAssets": true, "apiOnly": false, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` #### Direct Google Maps URL ```json { "strategy": "url", "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eiffel+Tower/@48.8583701,2.2922926,17z", "language": "en", "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` #### Google Maps CID ```json { "strategy": "cid", "cid": "15430805186958748717", "language": "en" } ``` #### Google Place ID ```json { "strategy": "placeId", "placeId": "ChIJZQi5xUUPyokRKnfZHK7gBnc", "language": "en" } ``` ### Output The actor writes one object to the default dataset.

Navigates directly and avoids any text-search ambiguity. ## `cid` (type: `string`): Google Maps Customer ID (CID). Navigates directly to the place without search. Accepts a decimal CID string, a maps URL with ?cid= or ludocid=, cid:12345 / ludocid=12345 text, or a place URL containing a hex CID pair (0x...:0x...).
