Google Reviews Scraper

Scrape Google Maps reviews for any place — by Maps URL, place ID, CID, or business name. No login, no API key.

What it does

Give it one or more places and it returns, for each:

• Reviews the Maps reviews panel exposes (Google currently shows ~8–20 reviews per place in the unauthenticated panel, sorted by newest / most-relevant / highest / lowest): reviewer name, profile URL, local-guide flag and review-count, star rating (1–5), full review text, relative date ("2 months ago"), owner response (text + date), attached review photos, like/helpful count.
• The place profile (optional): overall rating, total review count, address, phone, website, category — one extra item per place.

Behind the scenes the actor drives a real browser to the Maps page with the "all reviews" panel open, scrolls the panel with mouse-wheel events to load every review the panel will surface, and extracts each review from stable DOM anchors ([data-review-id], the aria-label star span). Images / media / fonts / stylesheets are blocked so each page is lean.

Note on volume. In February 2026 Google rolled out a "limited view" for unauthenticated review pages: many places now surface only a handful of recent / most-relevant reviews via the public panel. The actor returns every review the public panel exposes for each place. For chains/lead-gen use cases this is usually all you need; for an audit of 1,000+ reviews on a single landmark you'll see fewer than the place's total.

Use cases

• Reputation monitoring — bulk-pull recent reviews for your own locations.
• Competitor sentiment — feed it competitor place IDs and analyze tone.
• Multi-location chains — pass 100s of place IDs from the Google Maps Scraper → every visible review for every store in one run.
• Owner-response audits — see which reviews lack a reply.
• AI training data — clean, structured review corpus.
• Lead qualification / CRM enrichment — score a prospect's customer experience before outreach.

Output

Each review item:

{
"_kind":"review",
"review_id":"Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT210d2N6aDNaemxwZGtOWFMweDBjbm8wWDJsUFNsRRAB",
"place_name":"Sydney Opera House",

"author_review_count":236,
"is_local_guide":true,
"rating":5,
"text":"The Sydney Opera House is one of those places that genuinely lives up to the hype...",
"relative_date":"2 months ago",
"owner_response":null,
"owner_response_date":null,
"photos":["https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/..."],

"scrapedAt":"2026-05-15T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Each place item (_kind: "place"): place_name, rating, total_reviews, address, phone, website, category.

Fields are null only when the data genuinely isn't present on the review (e.g. no owner response, no photos, place has no listed phone).

Pricing

Pay per result:

• $0.003 per review scraped
• $0.01 per place profile (only when "Include place profile" is enabled)

Platform cost on residential proxy is a small fraction of revenue per result.

Notes

• A residential proxy is strongly recommended (it's the default) — Google rate-limits datacenter IPs on Maps review pages.
• The actor handles Apify host migrations transparently (state is persisted to the key-value store) and rotates the proxy session if blocked.
