    "personal injury lawyers in austin"
  ],
  "num": 200,
  "gl": "us",
  "hl": "en"
}

Example: international Google Maps search

{
  "query": ["coffee shops in london"],
  "num": 100,
  "gl": "gb",
  "hl": "en"
}

Example: include Popular Times

{
  "query": ["restaurants in toronto"],
  "num": 200,
  "gl": "ca",
  "hl": "en",
  "popularTimes": true
}

Example: include reviews

{
  "query": ["restaurants in toronto"],
  "num": 100,
  "gl": "ca",
  "reviews": true,
  "maxReviews": 20,
  "reviewsSort": "newest"
}

Add-on pricing

Popular Times and full review records are optional paid add-ons. Both add-on rates are fixed across every Apify plan.

Plan	Base results	Popular Times add-on	Base + Popular Times
Free / Starter	$0.50 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.75 / 1,000
Scale	$0.45 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.70 / 1,000
Business	$0.40 / 1,000	$0.25 / 1,000	$0.65 / 1,000

The add-on is charged for each returned place whenever popularTimes is enabled. Google does not publish Popular Times for every business, so some rows may have popularTimesStatus: "unavailable" and null Popular Times fields even though the enrichment was performed.

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, Popular Times, and review charges are additive when enabled together.

total cost = base result charge + optional Popular Times charge + 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.
• 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 support targeted geographic searches, with duplicate places removed from the output.
• 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 images, review distribution, descriptions, amenities, menus, order links, and related places. Questions and answers are not currently populated.
