💰 Pricing

This actor is a rental. Unlike the other Google Maps scrapers on Apify, you will not be charged per event.

This Google Maps Scraper is made for large-scale scraping and is recommended if you are expecting to extract more than 5,000 records in a month or want more predictable pricing.

✏️ Input

Keywords

This is where you can input search terms you would like to scrape such as: restaurants, gas station, gyms...

Max Results per Scrape Area

Control the number of results you capture per section of the area you are scraping. For a denser location consider higher values like 80, 100 or 120, for sparse areas use lower numbers like 20, 40, or 60. You can leave this value blank and let our algorithm decide based on area density.

Any value that isn't 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, or 120 will be rounded up to the next. For example, 21 will be rounded up to 40.

Locations

Enter in all the locations you would like to scrape. You can input multiple cities and/or states at once but we recommend keeping them all within the same country for each actor run.

Grid Cell Size

The size in kilometers that you want each grid cell's side length to be. The default and recommended value is 2 which results in 4km² grid cells. Increasing this value will make the scraper faster at the cost of data completeness.

Extra Fields

If toggled on, the scraper will capture the following extra fields: reviews, reviews distribution, hours of operation, and price level. This will make the scraper slower and will require at least 3.5-4GB of memory to run effectively.

Note: The city boundary is automatically defined by Nominatim so agglomeration areas aren't explicitly included but results may still contain locations/businesses from neighboring areas.
