❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes the photo quality "High Resolution"?

By default, Google thumbnails are downscaled for mobile screens. This scraper retrieves the original camera-resolution image file uploaded by the contributor, giving you crisp, uncompressed photos suitable for high-definition displays and design work.

What if a contributor has their profile set to private?

If a user's Google account privacy settings hide their photos, the scraper will cleanly report their profile status as "PRIVATE" without failing, allowing your batch run to continue uninterrupted.

Can I just check a contributor's total views without downloading photos?

Yes! Turn off the Extract Photos List toggle. The scraper will instantly fetch the contributor's name, Local Guide level, and total view count in less than a second.

Can I export the data to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes! As soon as your run completes, click the Export button on Apify and choose CSV, Excel, or JSON. You can also connect it directly to Google Sheets or webhooks.
