An Apify actor for extracting Google Maps reviews, at scale, with rich output including author information, review texts, ratings, review dates, images, and more.

Features

• 🔍 Flexible place search: Query by business name, map URL, or place IDs
• 📋 Extract detailed reviews: Get review texts, authors, dates, ratings, images, and reviewer profiles
• 🏢 Complete place information: Collect address, contact info, website, rating, and review count
• 🍀 Automatic pagination: Gather hundreds or thousands of reviews per place
• 🚦 Advanced filtering: Sort reviews by date or rating, limit review count
• 🌐 Proxy and rate limit handling: Reliable scraping through proxies, realistic headers, and retries

Sample Input

INPUT.json

{
"limitPerSource":3,
"sortOrder":"NEWEST",
"searchQuery":"PVR",
"urls":[
"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nexus+Mall+Koramangala/@12.934692,77.3227301,11z/data=!4m10!1m2!2m1!1small!3m6!1s0x3bae144d859731bb:0x7be523c4ee2a1b09!8m2!3d12.934692!4d77.6111212!15sCgRtYWxsWgYiBG1hbGySAQ9zaG9wcGluZ19jZW50ZXLgAQA!16zL20vMGZ4dGM1?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAyNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D"
]
}

How it works:

• Each item in "urls" should be url copied from address bar of a place or business in google maps
• Reviews for each place are extracted up to limitPerSource limit.
• Reviews are sorted by sortBy (can be "newest", "highestRating", etc.)
• You can also include search term to filter reviews matching this search term
