Google Maps Scraper — Emails, Reviews, Leads & Photos 🗺️

🎉 The only all-in-one Google Maps scraper — listings with emails, social links, reviews, photos AND owner posts in one run

For lead-gen teams, agencies and local-SEO marketers who are tired of stitching three scrapers together

---

📋 Overview

Scrape Google Maps the complete way — pull business listings already enriched with emails, phone numbers and a full social graph, then drill into reviews, photos, owner posts and AI review keywords from the same actor.

Why thousands of professionals choose us:

• ✅ All-in-one, 12 operations: search, search-in-area, nearby, details, reviews, photos, posts, review/photo details, reverse-geocoding and autocomplete — one actor, one dataset.
• ⚡ Emails & contacts inline: every search row can carry emails, phoneNumbers and 11 social links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, GitHub, Yelp) — no second email-extractor needed.
• 🎯 Up to 500 businesses per search with clean camelCase JSON — addresses, coordinates, hours, ratings, price level, verified status and more.
• 💰 Pay-per-result pricing: only charged for rows you actually receive, with a generous FREE tier and bulk per-row pricing that undercuts the market.
• 💎 AI review keywords (exclusive): Business Details Plus returns keywordsMentionedInReviews — the sentiment topics surfaced across a business's reviews. No competitor ships this column.
• ✨ Owner posts: the "From the owner" section most Maps scrapers drop entirely.

🐛 Troubleshooting

Search returns no emails

• Make sure Extract emails & contacts is enabled.
• Some businesses have no website, so no contacts can be parsed.

An enrich operation returns a "paid plan required" notice

• Business details, reviews, photos and posts are paid features — upgrade to unlock them.

A Business ID is "not found"

• IDs change if a listing is removed or merged. Re-run Search to get a fresh ID.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as personal email addresses, gender, or location of individuals. They only extract what businesses and users have chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
