- Taken from the title of the page
- πͺͺ ID
- This will be the ID passed in, or a hash of the URL if no ID was supplied
- π Social Handles
- The username or handle for each social network

Here's an example of social network usernames for A24 Films, from their website:
1[ 2 { 3 "title": "A24", 4 "instagram": "a24", 5 "facebook": "a24", 6 "twitter": "a24", 7 "youtube": "a24films" 8 } 9]
π Input format
You can supply a URL or a place ID to scrape the details for that place.
NOTE: if you supply both a URL and a place ID for a single place, it may be scraped twice and both results will appear in the dataset. You should try to supply either a URL or a place ID for each place, but not both for the same place.
