| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **π What to scrape** | | |
| `searchQueries` | List | What to look for, e.g. `dentists`, `coffee shop`, `EV charging station`. A term can carry its own place (`dentists austin tx`). API callers may also pass `{"query": "β¦", "location": "β¦", "maxResults": 30}` objects. |
| `location` / `locations` | Text / List | City, neighborhood, postcode, address, state or country, e.g. `Austin, TX`, `Shibuya, Tokyo`, `78701`. |
| `latitude`, `longitude`, `radiusKm` | Number | Search around an exact point; radius default 5 km. |
| `boundingBox` | JSON | An exact area: `{"northLat": 30.37, "eastLng": -97.64, "southLat": 30.17, "westLng": -97.84}`. |
| `startUrls`, `placeUrls`, `searchUrls`, `guideUrls` | List | Apple Maps place links (`?place-id=Iβ¦`, `?auid=β¦`), bare place ids, search links (`/search?query=β¦¢er=β¦&span=β¦`), guide links (`/guides?curated=β¦`), address links and `maps.apple` short links. |
| **π― Filters** (applied by Apple Maps) | | |
| `countryCode` | Text | Country Apple ranks for. Default `US`. |
| `language` | Text | Names, categories and addresses in this language. Default `en-US`. |
| `sortBy` | Select | `relevance` (default), `distance` or `rating`. |
| `openNow` | Boolean | Only places open at run time, in their own time zone. |
| `toggles` | List | Apple's own filter bar, e.g. `ACCEPTS_APPLE_PAY`, `WHEELCHAIR_ACCESSIBLE`. |
| **βοΈ Refine results** | | |
| `minRating` | Select | 3, 3.5, 4 or 4.5 stars (Apple's 0-100 scores are converted). |
| `hasPhone`, `hasWebsite`, `hasEmail` | Boolean | Keep only places with a phone, a website or an email. |
| `skipClosedPlaces`, `categoryFilterWords`, `openAt` | Boolean / List / Text | Leave out closed places, keep only some categories, keep places open at a given time. |
| **β Extra data** | | |
| `includeNearbyPlaces` | Boolean | Also collect the matching places Apple shows as dots around each search. |
| `includeGuides` | Boolean | Also return the Apple Maps guides each search shows β **guide** event. |
| `maxPhotos` | Integer | Photos per place. Default 5. |
| `enrichContacts`, `maxWebsitePages` | Boolean / Integer | Read each place's website for emails and social profiles β **contact-details** event. |
| **π Monitoring** | | |
| `monitorMode`, `monitorChanges`, `monitorStoreName` | Boolean / Text | Only places not delivered before, plus changed ones with their previous rating, review count, hours, phone and website and the list of what changed. |
| **π¦ Output** | | |
| `maxResults` | Integer | Places per search term per area. Default 50; `0` = everything the area gives. |
| `maxItems`, `maxRunSeconds`, `compact` | Integer / Boolean | Total cap, time limit, core fields only for AI agents. |
| **πΊοΈ Area coverage** | | |
| `adaptiveGrid`, `cellSizeMeters`, `minCellSizeMeters`, `saturationThreshold`, `maxGridDepth`, `maxCells` | | How a big area is split once Apple's answer is full. |
| `queryExpansions` | JSON | Extra spellings searched with a term, e.g. `{"cafe": ["coffee shop"]}`; places are de-duplicated across variants. |
| **βοΈ Advanced** | | |
| `proxyConfiguration`, `maxConcurrency` | | Direct requests by default; the run moves to the Apify proxy if Apple refuses or answers very slowly, then to RESIDENTIAL if the proxy keeps failing. |
#### Input JSON
```json
{
"searchQueries": ["dentists", "orthodontist"],
"location": "Austin, TX",
"maxResults": 200,
"hasPhone": true,
"minRating": "4"
}
```
#### Put only the business type in the search term
**Do:** `searchQueries: ["coffee shop"]` with `location: "Brooklyn, NY"`. **Don't:** a one-word term in another language on its own β Apple Maps sometimes reads it as a place name (on a test, `ramen` with a Japanese locale matched a village called Ramen). Use the term buyers would type in that country (`γ©γΌγ‘γ³`) or add a category word; places Apple returns far outside your area are dropped and never charged.
#### Ask for more than 55 when you want the whole area
One Apple Maps answer holds 25 places for a neighborhood-sized view and 55 for a city-sized one. Set `maxResults` higher (or `0`) and Apple Maps Scraper keeps splitting the area into quarters while the answers are full. Split by city or neighborhood with `locations` when you want the rows grouped by area.
### β¬οΈ Output
Every place becomes one dataset item. Here is the table view of a run for `dentists` in `Austin, TX`:

### How can I use Apple Maps data?
- π― **Sales and lead-generation teams** β build call lists of local businesses with a phone, a website and a rating, filtered by category and area.
- π’ **Local-SEO and listing agencies** β find businesses whose Apple Maps listing is unclaimed, has no website or misses hours and photos (`opportunityTags`, `listingCompletenessScore`).
- π **Market researchers** β count and map competitors per neighborhood with categories, ratings and price levels.
- πΊοΈ **Data and GIS teams** β coordinates, structured addresses and time zones for every place in a city.
- π **Monitoring** β run weekly to catch new businesses in an area and changes to ratings, hours, phones and websites.

### How much does it cost to scrape Apple Maps?
Apple Maps Scraper is pay-per-result: **$3.10 per 1,000 places** ($0.0031 per place), no start fee.
| Places | Cost |
|---:|---:|
| 10 | $0.031 |
| 100 | $0.31 |
| 1,000 | $3.10 |
| 10,000 | $31.00 |
Optional add-ons: **website contacts** $0.0014 per place where the website gave at least one email or social profile (nothing when none is found); **guide rows** $0.0028 per guide. Photos, review snippets, hours and amenities are included in the place price. Filtered-out places are not stored and not billed. Set a maximum spend on the run and it stops when the limit is reached; the places delivered so far are kept.
There is nothing else to pay: Apify platform usage is included in these prices. On the default 1,024 MB a 25-place search took 3-4 seconds on two test runs; larger searches take one more Apple answer for each split area.
