Google Maps Reviews

Pull reviews from any Google Maps place — author, rating, text, dates, likes, visit info, and attached photos. No login, no API key, no quota.

What you get

A place header (name, rating, total review count, feature id, place id, address) plus a list of reviews. Each review has: author name + id + profile URL + photo, Local Guide status/level, reviewer's lifetime review & photo counts, rating (1–5), review text, relative time ("2 minggu lalu") + exact post/edit dates, "helpful" like count, and photos uploaded with the review. When the reviewer filled Google's structured questions you also get visit_time, queue_time, and reservation_recommended.

Input

input accepts any of these — the actor figures out which:

Kind	Example
Place URL	https://www.google.com/maps/place/Candi+Jago/@-8.0,112.7,17z
Share link	https://maps.app.goo.gl/HMNsrV1dWv4ktBXb7
Feature id (item_id from Search Places)	0x2dd6256faaaaaaab:0xceeaf66957bc2c45
Place id	ChIJq6qqqm8l1i0RRSy8V2n26s4

{
    "input": "https://maps.app.goo.gl/HMNsrV1dWv4ktBXb7",
    "sort": "newest",
    "max_reviews": 0,
    "language": "id",
    "country": "id"
}

• max_reviews — cap the number of reviews. 0 = scrape every review until the feed ends. (Google limits how deep the feed can be scrolled — empirically a few thousand reviews per place, even for places with far more.)
• sort — relevant, newest, highest_rating, lowest_rating.
• language / country — locale of the result text and ranking.

Sample output

One record per run: the place header + a reviews array.
