Google Maps Reviews Scraper

Extract reviews from any Google Maps place — one at a time or in bulk. Perfect for reputation monitoring, competitive analysis, and sentiment analysis.

What it does

Given a business name or a Google Maps URL, this Actor collects:

• Author name — who left the review
• Rating — 1 to 5 stars
• Review text — full review content
• Date — when it was posted
• Place info — name and URL of the place

Input examples

Single place by name:

{
    "queries": ["Eiffel Tower"],
    "max_reviews": 50
}

Multiple places at once:

{
    "queries": ["Starbucks Times Square", "Blue Bottle Coffee"],
    "max_reviews": 100,
    "pause_between_places_sec": 5
}

Direct URL:

{
    "place_urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/..."],
    "max_reviews": 200
}

Each review is saved to the dataset as a JSON object:

    "author": "John Doe",
