Google Maps Reviews Scraper - Ratings, Text, Replies

Google Maps Reviews Scraper: Google reviews with ratings, text and owner replies

Scrape Google Maps reviews of any place worldwide with no login or API key: rating, full text, translation, date, owner reply and food, service and price scores. US$ 0.09 per 1,000 reviews, more than 2,000 reviews per place in our tests.

What does this Google Maps Reviews Scraper do?

• Reads the reviews of restaurants, hotels, shops, clinics and attractions from a place link, a Share link, a Place ID, a feature ID or a CID.
• Sorts them like Google Maps does (newest, most relevant, highest, lowest) and stops at a date you choose.
• Returns the original text plus Google's translation into your language, the owner reply, the photo count and the guided scores restaurants get.
• Delivers only reviews you have not received before when onlyNew is on, so a daily schedule pays only for new reviews.
• Leaves reviewers out: no names, profile links or avatars.

Who uses it

• Multi-location brands and agencies: a daily feed of new reviews for every branch, and for the competitors next door.
• Restaurant and hotel groups: food, service, atmosphere and price-per-person scores to benchmark places side by side.
• Data and AI teams: review text, ready for sentiment analysis or an LLM summary of complaints.
• Support teams: every new 1 or 2 star review posted to Slack or a Google Sheet minutes after the run.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Maps reviews?

What	Price
Review delivered	US$ 0.09 per 1,000 reviews (US$ 0.00009 each) on the Free plan, lower on paid plans
Run start	US$ 0.005 per run

• 5,000 reviews = about US$ 0.46 on the Free plan.
• The place details (name, address, rating, total) are included; there is no extra event for them.
• Error rows, duplicates and reviews already delivered in earlier runs (onlyNew) are never charged. maxReviews is a hard cap per place, and a spending limit set on the run stops it cleanly with everything delivered so far.

How to scrape Google Maps reviews

1. Open the place on Google Maps and copy the address bar link, or its Share link.
2. Paste it into Place links (or a Place ID into Place IDs) and set Max reviews per place.
3. Click Start. Reviews appear in the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

The same run as JSON input:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/Katz's+Delicatessen/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c2598f7ff4aa09:0x313547e757cb8cea"],
  "maxReviews": 50,
  "sort": "newest"
}

Several places, only reviews from the last 30 days, with labels and translations in English:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://maps.app.goo.gl/your-share-link",
    "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dishoom+Covent+Garden/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x487604b7c7d895c5:0x9c3887a3670e0076"
  ],
  "placeIds": ["ChIJCar0f49ZwokR6ozLV-dHNTE"],
  "maxReviews": 0,
  "sort": "newest",
  "reviewsNewerThan": "30 days",
  "language": "en"
}

Daily monitoring: schedule the run once a day with "onlyNew": true and only reviews you have not received before come back (and are charged).

Google Maps reviews scraper FAQ

Do I need a Google account or an API key? No. The reviews come from the same public data Google Maps shows to any visitor, without login.

How do I get the place link? Open the place on Google Maps and copy the address bar, or use Share and copy the link. A plain search link (/maps/search/...) or a link with only a name and no ID is not enough: open the place first.

Can I use a Google Place ID? Yes, put it in placeIds (ChIJ...). Feature IDs (0x...:0x...) and numeric CIDs work too.

In which language does the text come? Always in the language the reviewer wrote it, plus textTranslated in your language when they differ. language also changes relativeDate and the questionnaire labels.

How many reviews can I get per place? As many as Google lists for the place: thousands for popular places (we collected more than 2,000 per place in tests and the list kept going). Use maxReviews: 0 for all of them.

How does onlyNew work? The Actor keeps the IDs of the reviews it delivered for each place in your account. With the newest sort it stops as soon as it reaches a review it delivered before, so a daily run of a busy place costs only a few requests.

Why is there no reviewer name? Reviewers are private individuals. This Actor deliberately leaves out names, profile links, avatars and reviewers' photos; the reviewer is only described by an anonymous review count.

Is it legal? The Actor reads public reviews and leaves personal data of reviewers out by design. You are responsible for how you use the data under the laws that apply to you.

Something broke or a field is missing? Open an issue on the Actor page; issues are answered within a day.

Limitations

• Google Maps does not offer text search inside reviews here; filter the dataset after the run.
• Likes on reviews are not included, because their value could not be confirmed as reliable.
• questionnaire exists mainly for restaurants and some hotels and stores; for other places it is an empty object.
• The owner reply has a relative date only (Google does not send the exact date for it).
• Reviews are listed as Google serves them; very old places may stop at the oldest review Google keeps in the list.
