FAQ

How do I scrape Google reviews? Paste a Google Maps place URL (or the place name) into the input and run the actor. It opens the reviews feed, expands truncated reviews and returns one structured row per review.

Do I need a proxy? Yes for complete data. Google serves a truncated 3-review preview to datacenter IPs; residential or proxy IPs receive the full review feed. The actor also retries automatically when a feed looks truncated.

Can I scrape reviews in bulk? Yes - pass many place URLs in one run (one row per review, deduplicated by review ID).

Can I export Google reviews to CSV or Excel? Yes - download CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML from the Output tab, or fetch via the API.

Is scraping Google reviews legal? This actor collects only publicly available review data. You are responsible for complying with local laws and platform terms when using it.
