## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Google Maps Full Information Scraper

Extract **complete place information from Google Maps** by simply providing place
page URLs. The Actor returns clean, structured records — name, address, phone,
categories, rating, review counts, coordinates, website, opening hours, price
range, photos, and more — ready to use in your apps, sheets, or pipelines.

No browser automation, no login, no Google API key required.

### ✨ Features

- **Full place records** — every key field Google Maps exposes for a place.
- **Bulk input** — pass as many place URLs as you need in a single run.
- **Flexible input** — accepts a plain list of URLs or Apify request objects.
- **Resilient** — retries transient network/rate-limit failures with backoff,
  polls for results with a bounded overall timeout, and surfaces per-URL errors
  as warnings instead of crashing the run.
- **Clean output** — stable, documented field names; no provider metadata.

### 📥 Input

| Field           | Type             | Required | Description                                                                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `urls`          | array of strings | Yes      | Google Maps place URLs. Each must contain `/maps/place/`.                                     |
| `includeErrors` | boolean          | No       | Add a row for any URL that couldn't be scraped instead of skipping it. Default `true`.        |
| `maxItems`      | integer          | No       | Cap on the number of records pushed to the dataset. Omit for no limit.                        |

URLs that do not look like Google Maps place pages (missing `/maps/place/`) are
skipped with a warning; if none are valid the run fails fast with a clear error.

#### Example input

```json
{
    "urls": [
        "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Empire+State+Building/@40.7484405,-73.9878584,17z",
        "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Googleplex/@37.4220656,-122.0840897,17z",
        "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Statue+of+Liberty+National+Monument/@40.6892494,-74.0466891,17z",
        "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sydney+Opera+House/@-33.8567844,151.2152967,17z"
    ],
    "includeErrors": true,
    "maxItems": 50
}
````

### 📤 Output

Each item in the dataset is one Google Maps place. Common fields include:

#### Example output (truncated)

```json
{
    "name": "Empire State Building",
    "address": "20 W 34th St., New York, NY 10001, United States",
    "phone": "+1 212-736-3100",
    "category": "Observation deck",
    "rating": 4.7,
    "reviews_count": 96000,
    "latitude": 40.7484405,
    "longitude": -73.9878584,
    "website": "https://www.esbnyc.com/",
    "price_range": "$$",
    "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Empire+State+Building/...",
    "input_url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Empire+State+Building/@40.7484405,-73.9878584,17z"
}
```

### 🔑 Configuration

The Actor reads its data-provider credentials from the `PROVIDER_API_KEY`
environment variable. A shared token is bundled by default; to use your own, set
the environment variable on the Actor and it will be picked up automatically.
The token is never written to logs or output.

### ⏱️ Limits & pricing notes

- Results are prepared server-side and polled until ready. The run is bounded by
  an overall timeout (15 minutes by default); if results are not ready in time
  the run fails with the last known status for debugging.
- Larger batches of URLs take longer to prepare. Use `maxItems` to cap output.

### 🚀 Running locally

```bash
cd google-maps-scraper
## Provide input
mkdir -p storage/key_value_stores/default
cp test.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json
## Run
python -m src
```

Or run on the Apify platform with the input above.
