Google Maps Scraper - Places, Phones, Websites and Ratings

Scrape Google Maps for any business type in any location. Each result is one place with its name, main category and all categories, full address split into street, city, postal code, state and country code, coordinates, phone number, website, Google rating, review count, weekly opening hours, closure status, photo, Google place ID and CID, and a Google Maps link.

Give one or more searchTerms (dentist, coffee shop, roofing contractor) and a location (Austin, TX), or paste Google Maps search URLs. The Actor reads the same data the Google Maps web app loads, without a browser, so runs are fast and cheap.

What you can use it for

• Lead lists of local businesses with phone and website (dentists in Austin, plumbers in Denver, restaurants in Paris).
• Local market studies: how many competitors, their ratings and review counts, opening hours, closed locations.
• Store locator and POI data with coordinates, place IDs and normalized addresses.
• Data for AI agents: flat JSON, one item per place, explicit field names.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchTerms	array of strings	-	What to search, one search per term: dentist, pizza, Starbucks.
location	string	-	Area added to every term: Austin, TX, Paris, France, 90210. Recommended: without it Google picks the area from the proxy IP.
searchUrls	array of strings	-	Google Maps search URLs, e.g. https://www.google.com/maps/search/pizza/@41.9028,12.4964,14z. The map position in the URL is used.
maxItems	integer	20	Maximum places per search term or URL (1-500).
language	string	en	Result language (hl): en, fr, de, es, pt-BR...
country	string	us	Google country (gl): us, gb, de, fr...
minRating	string	any	Keep only places rated at least 3, 3.5, 4 or 4.5 stars.
includeDetails	boolean	false	One extra request per place to add description and reviewsDistribution (reviews per star).

Either searchTerms or searchUrls is needed. Example:

{
  "searchTerms": ["dentist", "orthodontist"],
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "minRating": "4"
}

Output

One item per place, deduplicated by placeId across all searches of the run. Real example (dentist in Austin, TX, image URL shortened):

With includeDetails, two fields are added:

{
  "description": "Iconic Chicago Steakhouse",
  "reviewsDistribution": {"oneStar": 117, "twoStars": 42, "threeStars": 111, "fourStars": 333, "fiveStars": 3620}
}

Field notes:

• placeId works with the Google Places API and Maps URLs; cid is the listing id used in https://maps.google.com/?cid=... links.
• rank is the position of the place in the Google Maps results of its search.
• phone is formatted as Google shows it; phoneUnformatted has no formatting (E.164 with country code in most countries).
• openingHours day names are always in English; the hours text follows language.
• Service-area businesses (plumbers, cleaners...) often have no street address: address fields are null.

Limitations

• Google Maps lists about 120 places per search (sometimes up to ~240). For more places, split the search: several terms, neighborhoods or ZIP codes as locations.
• Results follow Google's ranking for the query and location; places may move between runs.
• priceLevel is only filled when Google includes it in the search data, which is rare: it was null for all 890 places of our test runs (restaurants included).
• temporarilyClosed is detected on a best-effort basis; permanentlyClosed comes from Google's closure flag.
• Reviews text is not extracted by this Actor.
• Place URLs (/maps/place/...) are not accepted as input; use search terms or search URLs.
