📍 Enrich Google Maps Dataset with Contacts

Turn plain Google Maps search queries into a ready-to-use lead list. This Actor discovers businesses on Google Maps and then crawls each one's website to harvest emails, phone numbers and social-media profiles — all in a single run, with no Google API key required.

Search restaurants in New York, NY → get back every place plus its emails, phones, Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok and Pinterest links.

🤔 Why Choose This Actor?

• Places + contacts in one pass — no need to chain two separate scrapers.
• No API key, no quota — talks to Google Maps' own internal endpoint.
• Smart anti-blocking — starts direct and only escalates to datacenter, then residential proxies when needed, then sticks there. You never overpay for proxies you don't need.
• Clean, strict extraction — CDN junk, asset hashes and tracking domains are filtered out of emails; social links are validated against per-network rules.
• Live results — every place is saved the moment it is enriched, organised into five tidy table views.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Google API key? No. The Actor uses Google Maps' own internal endpoint, so there are no API keys or quotas to manage.

Why are some emails empty? Many businesses publish only social links or a contact form. We never invent data — empty means none was found on the site.

Will I get blocked? The Actor starts without a proxy and only escalates to datacenter then residential proxies if Google or a website pushes back, then stays on residential for the rest of the run.
