Google Maps Scraper

From $0.25 per 1,000 Google Maps results. Detail enrichment costs $0.25 per 1,000 places, and full reviews cost $0.25 per 1,000 reviews returned.

Pull structured business data from Google Maps at a fraction of what other actors charge. Every Google Maps run is fast, lightweight, and billed only for Google Maps results you actually receive — each Google Maps business listing lands as its own row in the dataset.

Compass charges $4.00 per 1,000 places without a pricing discount and $1.50 at its highest discount tier. This actor costs $0.50 and $0.25 at the corresponding tiers — 6–8× cheaper, with rich Google Maps data and straightforward result-based pricing.

  "geoStrictMatch": true,
  "customGeolocation": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [[
      [-79.50, 43.60],
      [-79.20, 43.60],
      [-79.20, 43.80],

Add-on pricing

Detail enrichment and full review records are optional paid add-ons. Add-on rates are fixed across every Apify plan.

Apify pricing tier	Base results	Detail enrichment	Base + Detail enrichment
No discount	$0.50 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.75 / 1,000
Bronze	$0.45 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.70 / 1,000
Silver	$0.40 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.65 / 1,000
Gold	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.50 / 1,000

Detail enrichment is charged once for each returned place when Place Details, Images, or image attribution is enabled. Place Details includes Google's payload-driven place tags and all available attribute groups rather than a hardcoded category list. Popular Times-only requests are charged only for places where Google returns Popular Times data. Enabling Popular Times together with another detail option does not multiply the charge. Google does not publish every field for every business, so some enriched values may be null.

Full reviews are charged separately at $0.25 per 1,000 review records actually returned. Billing uses the number of reviews received, not maxReviews, so unavailable reviews are never charged. Base result, Detail enrichment, and review charges are additive when enabled together.

total cost = base result charge + optional Detail enrichment + actual review records × $0.00025

Notes

• Multiple Google Maps queries run in one actor invocation — no need to start separate Google Maps runs per city or keyword.
• Set gl to match the country you're targeting for the most accurate local Google Maps results (gl=ca for Canada, gl=gb for UK, gl=de for Germany).
• Use fields to trim Google Maps output to only the columns you need — useful for large Google Maps runs where you want a lean dataset.
• When popularTimes is enabled, its output fields are included even when fields contains a custom field list.
• When place details or images are enabled, their output fields are included even when fields contains a custom field list.
• Popular Times is not available for every Google Maps place. Check popularTimesStatus for available or unavailable.
• Popular Times is returned as a compact day -> hour -> occupancy percent map.
• Direct Google Maps URLs and Place IDs can be used without a text query.
• Radius, bounding-box, and polygon inputs are processed incrementally and returned places are filtered to the requested area.
• Duplicate places from overlapping centers, continuation requests, or multiple inputs are returned and charged once per run. The query field identifies the first input that emitted the place.
• Results are written incrementally. The CHECKPOINT key-value-store record can resume an interrupted run without retaining full result rows in Actor memory.
• A restarted execution can paste a prior run's CHECKPOINT record into resumeState. The input fingerprint must match, and the new run continues at the saved query and map-center offset.
• The 500-place area limit applies per query, not per Actor run. A list of 100 queries continues through all 100 and can therefore emit up to 50,000 rows before run-wide deduplication.
• Review output is limited by maxReviews; fewer reviews may be returned when Google has fewer available.
• Failed or empty sources are logged and saved in the run's ERRORS key-value-store record; they are not written to the result dataset or billed as results.
• Rich details can include image galleries, contributor attribution, review links, descriptions, accessibility, amenities, menus, order links, and related places.
