Google Maps Reviews Scraper

Google Maps Reviews Scraper extracts every review of any business on Google Maps — star rating, full text, reviewer profile, owner responses, photos, and dates — and downloads them as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML. It runs in the cloud, needs no coding, and no Google API key.

Try it right away: paste a Google Maps place URL into the input form, click Start, and watch the dataset fill up with structured review data.

What data does it extract?

Each result is one review, with the business it belongs to nested in a place object:

Data	Details
💬 Review	full text, original-language text, translated text, star rating, like count, source
🗓️ Dates	when the review was published and last edited (ISO 8601)
👤 Reviewer	nested reviewer object: name, profile URL, photo, ID, total reviews written, Local Guide status
🏢 Owner response	the business's reply text and date, when present
📷 Photos & videos	every image and video attached to the review — playable video URLs, image URLs, and dimensions
📍 Place	nested place object: name, address, category, coordinates, overall rating, total review count, place ID, URL

How do I scrape Google Maps reviews?

1. Add a place — paste one or more Google Maps URLs (google.com/maps/place/…, or short maps.app.goo.gl links). You can also supply place IDs directly.
2. Choose how many — set Maximum reviews per place, or use 0 to scrape all of them.
3. Pick a sort order — Newest, Most relevant, Highest rating, or Lowest rating.
4. Filter the content (optional) — keep all reviews, only those with text, or only those with text and media (photos/videos).
5. Click Start — then download the results from the Storage tab in any format, or send them anywhere using integrations.

How do I find a place's URL?

Open Google Maps, search for the business, click it, and copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Each URL contains the place's ID (the 0x…:0x… value), which is what the scraper uses.

Input example

{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Katz's+Delicatessen/@40.722233,-73.987429,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c2598f7ff4aa09:0x313547e757cb8cea!8m2!3d40.722233!4d-73.987429" }
    ],
    "maxReviews": 100,
    "reviewsSort": "newest",
    "language": "en",
    "personalData": true
}

You can also target places by ID instead of URL:

{
    "placeIds": ["0x89c2598f7ff4aa09:0x313547e757cb8cea"],
    "maxReviews": 0
}
