## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## 📍 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.

### ✨ Key Features

| Feature | Detail |
|---------|--------|
| 🔎 Multi-query search | Bulk Google Maps queries, paginated automatically |
| ✨ Contact enrichment | Homepage + contact/about/imprint pages crawled |
| 📧 Emails | Strict pattern, junk-domain & asset filtering |
| 📞 Phones | Confirmed (`tel:`) and best-effort detected numbers |
| 📱 Socials | Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest |
| 🗺️ Geo data | Address parsing, plus codes, lat/lng |
| 🛡️ Proxy ladder | direct → datacenter → residential (sticky) |

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchStrings` | array | — | **Required.** Google Maps queries (include the location). |
| `maxPlaces` | integer | `40` | Max places per query. |
| `enrichContacts` | boolean | `true` | Crawl websites for contacts. |
| `maxPagesPerWebsite` | integer | `5` | Homepage + up to N-1 sub-pages. |
| `language` | string | `en` | Google UI language (`hl`). |
| `countryCode` | string | `us` | Country (`gl`) + residential geo-target. |
| `concurrency` | integer | `8` | Parallel website crawls. |
| `requestDelay` | number | `1.2` | Seconds between result pages. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy | Proxy settings / fallback source. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchStrings": ["restaurants in New York, NY", "coffee shops in Austin, TX"],
  "maxPlaces": 40,
  "enrichContacts": true,
  "maxPagesPerWebsite": 5,
  "language": "en",
  "countryCode": "us",
  "concurrency": 8,
  "requestDelay": 1.2,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
````

### 📤 Output

Each dataset item is one place. Example (trimmed):

```json
{
  "title": "Manhatta",
  "categoryName": "New American restaurant",
  "address": "28 Liberty St 60th floor, New York, NY 10005",
  "city": "New York",
  "state": "New York",
  "postalCode": "10005",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "plusCode": "PX5R+5C New York",
  "website": "https://www.manhattarestaurant.com/restaurant-menu/",
  "phone": "(212) 230-5788",
  "totalScore": 4.7,
  "location": { "lat": 40.707997, "lng": -74.008882 },
  "placeId": "ChIJoTXWl8dbwokRpKA2BJFVsGA",
  "cid": "0x89c25bc797d635a1:0x60b055910436a0a4",

    "twitters": ["https://twitter.com/manhatta_nyc"],
    "linkedIns": [], "youtubes": [], "tiktoks": [], "pinterests": []
  }
}
```

**✉️ Contacts**, **📱 Social media**, and **🖼️ Media & IDs**.

### 🚀 How to Use (Apify Console)

1. Log in at <https://console.apify.com> → **Actors**.
2. Open **Enrich Google Maps Dataset with Contacts**.
3. Enter one or more **Search queries** (include the location).
4. Optionally tune max places, enrichment and proxy.
5. Click **Start** and watch results stream into the log in real time.
6. Open the **Output** tab and export to JSON / CSV / XLSX.

### 🤖 Use via API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/<ACTOR_ID>/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"searchStrings":["restaurants in New York, NY"],"maxPlaces":20}'
```

### 💡 Best Use Cases

- Building local-business **lead lists** for outreach.
- **Market research** on a category in a city.
- Enriching an existing place list with **contact + social** data.

### 💳 Pricing

Pay-per-event: you are billed per **enriched place** delivered to the dataset,
plus the standard Actor start. Disable `enrichContacts` for lighter,
places-only runs.

### ❓ 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.

### ⚖️ Legal

Only publicly available data is collected. You are responsible for complying
with GDPR/CCPA, anti-spam laws and target-site terms when using the results.

One or more Google Maps search queries. Always include the location in the text, e.g. "restaurants in New York, NY" or "dentists in Austin, TX".

## `maxPlaces` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of places to collect for each search query.

## `maxPagesPerWebsite` (type: `integer`):

Homepage + up to N-1 contact / about / imprint pages crawled per business website.

## `language` (type: `string`):
