Key Features

• 53 fields per place: every result carries contacts, ratings, popularity stats, tags, hours, and photos, auto-enriched with the full detail page.
• Any city in China: search Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, or any smaller city, in Chinese or English.
• Goes past the 600-per-point ceiling: for a big result target the scraper sweeps the city area by area, so a dense category returns thousands of places, not the first 600.
• Review snippets and popularity built in: featured review text, star ratings, view counts, save counts, and good-comment rate, with no extra step.
• City-accurate: results stay inside the city you ask for, never bleeding into neighbouring provinces.

How to Scrape AMap (Gaode) Data

Basic: search a city

{
  "query": ["火锅"],
  "city": "北京",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Keywords work in Chinese or English. For most categories the count is the same, so pharmacy and 药店 return the same places. A few distinctly Chinese categories do far better in Chinese: 火锅 returns hundreds, hotpot returns a handful.

Every place in a category: go past the 600-per-point ceiling

{
  "query": ["药店"],
  "city": "上海",
  "maxResults": 2000
}

Multiple categories at once, filtered

{
  "query": ["咖啡", "餐厅"],
  "city": "成都",
  "maxResults": 300,
  "minRating": "4.0",
  "minReviewCount": 20
}

Specific places by link or ID, no search needed

{
  "placeUrls": [
    "https://www.amap.com/place/B0FFFPGBW3",
    "https://www.amap.com/search?query=咖啡&city=上海",
    "B0FFHTYX3O"
  ]
}

placeUrls accepts an AMap place-page link, a search-page link (run as its own search), or a bare place ID. The url and placeId values from a previous run's output paste straight back in.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
query	array	["火锅"]	Search keywords, one per line. Chinese or English.
category	select	""	Shortcut dropdown of 18 common categories, added as an extra keyword.
city	string	北京	City to search in. Any city in China; Chinese or English.
maxResults	integer	100	Max places per keyword. Above 600 the scraper sweeps the city area by area.
includeDetails	boolean	true	Adds the readable category path, freshness date, extra photos, and website. Turn off for cheaper, faster runs.
placeUrls	array	[]	Specific places: AMap place links, search links, or url/placeId values from a previous run. Skips search.
minRating	select	""	Keep only places at or above this rating.
minReviewCount	integer	0	Keep only places with at least this many reviews.
priceMin / priceMax	integer	0	Average-spend-per-person range in CNY (restaurants).
searchMatching	select	all	How strictly a place name must match the keyword.

Filters run after collection, so they do not change cost. Full field help lives on the Input tab.

Places scraped	Cost (base)
100	$0.40
1,000	$3.99

Full details are billed separately ($1.99 per 1,000 at base) and only when Include full details is on. Filters (rating, review count, price) run after collection, so they do not lower cost.

FAQ

What is AMap (Gaode / Autonavi / 高德地图)? AMap, also written Gaode, Autonavi, or 高德地图, is China's most-used mapping and local-search platform, owned by Alibaba. It holds the deep POI coverage of mainland China that Google Maps lacks: restaurants, hotels, gas stations, pharmacies, EV chargers and more, with Chinese-first names, ratings and pricing. This actor turns AMap place search into structured JSON.

Do I need an AMap API key or a Chinese account? No. You enter a keyword and a city, or paste place links, and run. There is no AMap developer key, Chinese phone number, or sign-in involved. Official AMap keys are hard to obtain outside China and rate-limited, which is why a scraper is the practical route to this data.

Why AMap instead of Google Maps for China? Google Maps coverage inside mainland China is thin and often out of date. AMap and Baidu are where the real Chinese place data lives, including local review signals and per-person cost data that Google does not carry for these places.

Can I schedule runs or push results to Google Sheets? Yes. Schedule this actor on any cadence from the Apify console, and connect the output to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or your own server via webhooks and the Apify API.

How many places can I extract? A single search point returns up to 600 places. Above that the actor sweeps the city area by area, so a dense category in a large city returns thousands of places per run.

Chinese or English keywords? Both work. For most categories the result count is the same. A few distinctly Chinese categories return far more results in Chinese, for example 火锅 versus hotpot.

Does it include reviews? Every place includes its review count, star rating, popularity stats, and up to a handful of featured review snippets with text. The complete review stream (every review with author and date) is not part of this actor.

Can I get per-station fuel prices? Not in this actor. This one covers gas-station locations, brands, ratings and hours. Per-station discount fuel prices are a separate dedicated actor.

How do I export the data? Download JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or pull it through the Apify API. JSON preserves the nested fields (popularity, entrances, review snippets) best.

Is it legal to scrape AMap (Gaode) data? This actor collects publicly visible place information only. You are responsible for how you use it, including compliance with AMap's terms and applicable data protection law (GDPR, CCPA, and China's PIPL). Review text and place data may include personal information, so handle it accordingly.
