Google Maps Scraper

Overview

The Google Maps Scraper is the most comprehensive data extraction tool for local business intelligence and B2B lead generation. It allows you to scrape complete profiles from Google Maps, including verified phone numbers, website URLs, email addresses (when available on websites), operating hours, popular times, high-resolution photos, and detailed customer reviews. Whether you are building targeted sales lists, conducting competitor analysis, or tracking local market trends, this tool provides clean, structured data at scale. It bypasses Google's anti-scraping protections automatically and supports detailed search filters like location, business category, and minimum rating.

API Example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
});

const input = {
    "searchStringsArray": [
        "software companies in San Francisco"
    ],
    "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 50,
    "language": "en",
};

const run = await client.actor("compass/crawler-google-places").call(input);

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Pricing Structure

Pay-per-result model. Costs $1.50 per 1,000 extracted places. Apify's $5 free monthly credit allows you to scrape roughly 3,300 places at no cost. Paid plans include prepaid credits that cover larger volumes.

Limitations

• Google Maps caps search results to a maximum of 500 places per search query. To get more, use specific tight geographic boundaries.
• Emails are not extracted directly from Maps, but the actor attempts to find them by visiting the official websites.
• Scraping detailed reviews significantly slows down the extraction process.
