Google Maps Scraper

Google Maps Scraper collects business listings from Google Maps and turns them into structured data for lead generation, prospecting, and CRM enrichment. Provide a search query with optional country, state, and city filters, then export names, ratings, phone numbers, addresses, websites, and categories — with optional extended details such as hours, images, and coordinates — to JSON, CSV, or Excel. Use it to build targeted lead lists, enrich contact records, and analyze local competitors. Pricing is $2.50 per 1,000 results.

How to use Google Maps Scraper

1. Open the Google Maps Scraper on Apify.
2. Enter a query such as "Car Washes" or "Pizza in Chicago".
3. Optionally narrow results with country, state, and city, and choose a lang.
4. Set max to cap the number of results, and enable fullDetails for extended fields.
5. Run the Actor and export the dataset to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect it to your workflow.

{
    "query": "Car Washes",
    "max": 50,
    "fullDetails": false,
    "lang": "en",
    "country": "United States",
    "state": "Texas",
    "city": "Houston",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

Example workflow

Build a monthly list of local service businesses

1. Run one query per service and city (for example "plumbers" in Dallas and Austin).
2. Keep businesses that match your required rating and reviews thresholds.
3. Re-run top candidates with fullDetails enabled to capture hours, website, and owner data.
4. Deduplicate using the stable place_id, then push new contacts to your CRM.

Automate and integrate your results

• Schedules — set a monthly or quarterly schedule per query and region to keep lead lists fresh.
• Webhooks — trigger a webhook on run completion to push new businesses into your CRM or Google Sheets.
• Exports and API — download JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Console, or call the Actor from the API. One cURL example:

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scraptivo/google-maps-scraper/runs?token=YOUR-APIFY-TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "Car Washes",
    "max": 50,
    "country": "United States",
    "city": "Houston",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
  }'

• Deduplication — use the stable place_id as the key when merging results across runs.
