Google Maps Shared List Scraper (export Google Maps lists and saved places)

Export every place of a shared Google Maps list to a spreadsheet: give the list's share link (maps.app.goo.gl/…), its link (google.com/maps/placelists/list/…) or its id, and get one row per place in the list's own order with the place name, address, coordinates, the note the list's owner wrote, the date it was added, its CID, place id and Google Maps link, plus the list's name, owner and description. Turn on details (on by default) and each place also gets its rating, reviews count, categories, phone, website, opening hours and whether Google marks it closed, read from its own Google Maps page.

No login, no browser, no Google API key. Export the Google Maps list to CSV, Excel or JSON, or read it through the API.

What you can do with an exported Google Maps list

• Move saved places out of Google Maps: a travel list, a "want to go" list a friend shared, a list of shops for a trip, into a spreadsheet, a CRM or another map app, with coordinates and notes kept.
• Turn curated lists into leads: a list of restaurants, coffee shops or suppliers someone put together becomes a table with phone, website, rating and opening hours for each place.
• Track a list over time: run it on a schedule and compare addedAt and the place count to see what was added.
• Read Google's own lists: Google Maps publishes curated lists such as "Fan-Favorite Dining: New York" (the form's example); every place comes with Google's note on why it was picked.

Input

field	what it does
listUrls	One per line: a share link (https://maps.app.goo.gl/…), a list link (https://www.google.com/maps/placelists/list/…), or a list id. Up to 100 lists.
maxPlacesPerList	The first N places of each list, in the list's order; 0 for every place (up to 5,000 a list).
includeDetails	On (default): each place's rating, reviews count, categories, phone, website, opening hours and closed mark, from its Google Maps page. Off: only what the list shows, much faster and cheaper.
language, country	Language of categories and opening hours, and the country Google answers for (default en, us).

Place fields

field	meaning
rowType	place_with_details, place (details off, or not available for that place), or list for a free row (see below)
listId, listName, listDescription, listOwner, listPlaceCount, listUrl	The list: its name, description, the owner's name as the list page shows it, and how many places it holds
positionInList	The place's position in the list (1 = first)
name	The place's name
address	As the list shows it; Google's own lists show none, so with details it comes from the place's page
lat, lng	Coordinates
note	The note the list's owner wrote for the place
addedAt	When it was added to the list (ISO, UTC)
cid, placeId, featureId, kgmid	Google's ids for the place: the customer id used in ?cid= links, the place id (ChIJ…) of Google's Places API, the feature id 0x…:0x…, and the knowledge graph id when the list carries it
mapsUrl	The place's page on Google Maps
rating, reviewCount	Star rating and number of reviews (null and 0 for a place nobody rated, such as a town)
categories, primaryCategory	Google's categories, primary first
phone, phoneInternational	As shown, and in international format
website	The website on the place's profile
openingHours	One line per day, Monday first; empty when the place shows no hours
closed	Google Maps marks the place closed
detailsStatus	On a place row: not_asked (details off), place_not_found (Google Maps no longer has the place's page) or blocked (Google refused it)
input, inputIndex	The list as you gave it, and its position among the lists given
scrapedAt	When the run read it (ISO, UTC)

Free rows

A list that delivers no place gets one free list row with a status and a reason:

status	when
list_not_found	Google Maps has no public list with that id (deleted, made private, never existed), or the share link does not exist
empty	The list holds no places, or only entries that are not a Google Maps place (dropped pins)
invalid	Not a list: another site's link, or a share link that opens a single place
blocked	Google refused every IP the run could ask from before the list was read
spending_limit	The run's spending limit was reached before this list

SUMMARY in the run's key-value store holds the run's counts.

Pricing

• US$0.001 per place with details (US$1 per 1,000 places): the list row plus rating, reviews, categories, phone, website and opening hours.
• US$0.0005 per place without details (US$0.50 per 1,000 places), and for a place whose Google Maps page could not be read in a run that asked for details.
• Free rows (not found, empty, invalid, blocked, spending limit) are never charged. The run stops at your spending limit before reading a place it cannot pay for.

How it reads Google Maps, and when Google asks for verification

It asks Google Maps the same questions its own web page asks when you open a shared list: up to 500 places per request, so most lists take one, and with details one more request per place, at a person's pace, over HTTP. If Google asks an IP for verification — its "unusual traffic" page, a CAPTCHA, a JavaScript check, or any answer that is not Google Maps' normal data — that IP is done for the run: nothing more is sent from it, and the run goes on from another IP of Apify's datacenter proxy. It never solves, bypasses or replays a challenge. Plain overloads (HTTP 429 or 5xx without a challenge) take the same way. When every IP the run can use has been refused, the places already read are delivered, the lists left get a free blocked row, and the run ends successfully with a message to try again later.

Limits

• Only lists shared by their owner (public, or "anyone with the link") can be read; a private list answers as not found. Your own "Starred" or "Saved" places are read only once you share them as a list.
• Up to 100 lists per run and 5,000 places per list.
• Google Maps does not show a place's price level ("$$") to a signed-out visitor in the answers this Actor reads, so it is not in the output.
• A place in a list that is not a business (a town, a park) has no rating, phone or hours.
• An entry that is not a Google Maps place (a dropped pin) has no place id to read and is left out; the run log counts them.

Is it legal?

It reads lists their owners shared for anyone with the link to see, and the public Google Maps page of each place, without logging in, at a pace a person browsing the map could produce. A list's name, notes and owner name are what its owner chose to publish; the owner's photo and Google account id are left out. Use the data in line with Google's terms and the laws that apply to you, including privacy laws when a list was made by a person.
