Google Maps Scraper - Places, Leads, Emails & Contacts

Google Maps scraper and Google Places data extractor for lead generation, with no API key required. Turn any Google Maps search into clean local business leads: names, categories, addresses, phone numbers, websites, public emails, social profiles, ratings, opening hours, coordinates, plus codes and Google place IDs. A more complete, HTTP based alternative to the official Google Maps and Places API for bulk business listings data.

Here is one real result from a live run, with the fields the actor returns:

The most complete HTTP Google Maps scraper for lead generation. It returns the business fields Google Maps exposes (name, category, editorial description, phone, website, address, coordinates, plus code, price level, place IDs, hours, service options, order and reservation links, claimed status, open-now), and it can visit each business website to pull public emails and social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord) that the base place feed never contains. It gives you more than a dozen input filters so you collect exactly the businesses you want and pay only for the ones that pass.

What it does

Give the actor one or more business types (dentist, coffee shop, law firm) and a location, or paste Google Maps search URLs. It collects the matching places from Google Maps and writes one clean record per business to the dataset. Each record carries the business name, primary category and full category list, editorial description, rating, price level, phone in local and E.164 format, website and domain, a parsed address (street, neighborhood, city, state, postal code, country), coordinates, plus code, Google identifiers (placeId, featureId/fid, cid, kgmid), timezone, claimed status, owner name, business status (operational, temporarily closed, permanently closed), open-now, opening hours, service options (dine-in, takeout, delivery), order and reservation links, and photo URLs.

Turn on the contacts add-on and the actor fetches each business website and extracts public emails plus social profile links (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord). Two optional AI add-ons write a short business profile and score each business as an outreach lead.

More than a dozen input filters narrow the run before you are billed: minimum rating, category words, only places with a website, phone or email, open now, skip closed, plus multi query search and place deduplication.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 coffee shops in Austin rated 4.0 or higher, with public emails and social links scraped from each website.

{
  "searchQueries": ["coffee shop"],
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxPlaces": 10,
  "minRating": 4,
  "onlyWithWebsite": true,
  "scrapeContacts": true,
  "language": "en",
  "region": "us"
}

Run several searches in one job by adding more terms to searchQueries, or paste Google Maps search URLs into searchUrls. Google returns roughly 100 to 120 results per search.

Example output record

See the real record at the top of this page. Fields Google does not expose for a given business are returned as null, never invented. reviewsCount, reviewsLink, priceLevel, description, additionalInfo, serviceOptions, reserveTableUrl and orderLinks appear when Google includes them in the list feed and are null or empty otherwise. plusCode is derived from the coordinates, so it is present for every place that has a location.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~google-maps-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["plumber"],"location":"Miami, FL","maxPlaces":50}'

Start a run asynchronously with the contacts add-on:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~google-maps-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["law firm"],"location":"Austin, TX","scrapeContacts":true,"maxPlaces":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/google-maps-scraper \
  --input '{"searchUrls":["https://www.google.com/maps/search/coffee+shop+in+Seattle+WA"],"maxPlaces":25}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per business returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Website contacts. When scrapeContacts is on and a business website yields emails or social links, that place is billed one extra details event. No contact data found means no details charge.
• AI add-ons (ai_profile_summary, ai_lead_score) are billed as separate events only when they produce output. Off by default.
• No charge on failure. If a page cannot be retrieved, the actor writes a record with a populated error field and does not charge. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run. Once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further results and add-ons.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run and cannot use the paid contact or AI add-ons. Upgrade for higher maxPlaces.

How we compare

Objective comparison against the leading Google Maps actors on the Apify Store. Where a competitor is stronger on an axis, that is stated plainly.

Capability	This actor	compass/crawler-google-places (flagship)	compass/google-maps-extractor	lukaskrivka/google-maps-with-contact-details	compass/google-maps-reviews-scraper
Core place fields (name, category, phone, website, address, coordinates)	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Place context only
Google IDs: placeId, cid, fid, kgmid	All four	All four	placeId	placeId, cid	placeId
Input filters (rating, category, has website/phone/email, open now, skip closed)	14+ filters incl. contact-presence filters	Many, plus polygon geolocation and zoom	Many, plus polygon geolocation	Many, plus polygon geolocation	Reviews filters only
Emails and socials from the business website	Yes, 8 networks incl. Pinterest and Discord, in the same run	Paid add-on	Paid add-on	Yes, its core feature	No
Open now, business status, closed flags	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Closed flags
Editorial description, price level, service options	Yes, when Google exposes them	Yes	Yes	Partial	No
Plus code (Open Location Code)	Yes, for every place (from coordinates)	Sometimes	Sometimes	Sometimes	No
Order and reservation links	Yes	Yes	Yes	Partial	No
Reviews count and distribution	When Google exposes it in the list feed, else null	Yes, from the place detail page	Yes, with detail scraping	Yes	Yes
Full reviews array (text, author, rating, date, owner reply)	No	Yes	No	No	Yes, deepest
Popular times and Q and A	No	Yes	Yes, with detail scraping	Yes	No
Multi query search in one run	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Per place
Speed (list run)	Roughly 4 to 5 seconds for 15 places, plus website time when contacts are on	High volume, detail scraping slows it	Fast	Adds a website crawl per place	Optimized for review volume
Adoption	New listing	Millions of runs, the market leader	Large	Large	Large
Price	Per result, not the cheapest	From about 1.50 USD per 1,000 places on the top tier	About 2.10 to 5 USD per 1,000	From about 2.10 USD per 1,000	About 0.30 USD per 1,000 reviews

Where competitors win, honestly: the flagship has millions of runs, the widest adoption and a lower headline price on its top tier, and it returns the full reviews array, popular times and Q and A from the place detail page. The dedicated reviews scraper is the deepest source for review text and is cheaper per review. All of the compass actors support polygon and zoom geolocation, which this actor does not.

Where this actor wins: it unifies place data and website contact enrichment (emails plus eight social networks, including Pinterest and Discord) in a single run, adds contact-presence input filters (only with email, phone or website) that the others do not combine, returns the complete Google ID set (placeId, cid, fid, kgmid) that many cheaper clones drop, runs fast by default because it only visits websites when you ask for contacts, and never charges for a place that fails or gets filtered out. For deep review mining, pair it with a dedicated reviews scraper.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Why is reviewsCount null for some places? Google serves this scraper's list feed in two variants. When Google includes the review count in the response it is returned, otherwise it is null. It is never invented. For guaranteed review counts and full review text, use a dedicated Google Maps reviews scraper.

How do I get contact emails and socials? Turn on scrapeContacts (paid plans). For each place with a website, the actor fetches the site and extracts public emails and social profile links into emails, facebook, instagram and the other social fields.

How do I get only businesses with an email? Set scrapeContacts and onlyWithEmail both true. The actor keeps only places where a public email was found.

A run returned fewer results than maxPlaces. Why? Google returns roughly 100 to 120 organic results per search, and your filters remove non matching places before billing. Add more terms to searchQueries or pass multiple searchUrls to widen coverage.

Do I need a Google Maps or Places API key? No. This actor needs no Google API key, no billing account and no per request quota. It returns Google Maps business listings data directly, so it works as a drop-in alternative to the official Google Maps and Places API for bulk lead generation and business listings extraction.

What is plusCode? It is the Google Plus Code (Open Location Code) for the place, computed from its coordinates. Because it is derived from latitude and longitude, it is present for every place that has coordinates.

Why are phone or website null? The listing did not publish that field. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Which regions and languages are supported? Twelve regions (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Spain, France, Germany) and seven interface languages. Set region and language.

Is this an official Google tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Google. It reads only data that is publicly visible on Google Maps. Use it in accordance with the Google terms of service.
