Extract business listings from Google Maps search results at scale. Get structured data including business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, reviews, hours of operation, GPS coordinates, and more -- all without needing a Google API key.

What does Google Maps Scraper do?

This scraper takes a search query and location, then extracts detailed business information from Google Maps. It works exactly like searching Google Maps manually, but automated and at scale.

For example, searching for "plumbers in Chicago" will return structured data for every plumber listing Google Maps shows, complete with contact details, ratings, and operating hours.

Key features

• No API key required -- scrapes the public Google Maps web interface directly
• Full business details -- name, address, phone, website, category, price level
• Ratings and reviews -- star rating and total review count for each business
• Hours of operation -- complete weekly schedule
• GPS coordinates -- latitude and longitude for each listing
• Photo URLs -- optionally extract business photo links
• Automatic pagination -- scrolls through all available results
• Anti-blocking -- built-in session rotation, fingerprinting, and human-like delays
• Proxy support -- works with Apify residential proxies for reliable results

Performance and cost

Runtimes depend on proxy speed and whether photo extraction is enabled.

Tips for reducing cost

• Set maxResults to only what you need
• Disable includePhotos if you do not need images
• Use lower maxConcurrency to reduce parallel browser usage

Limitations

• Google Maps typically returns a maximum of ~120 results per search query. For broader coverage, run multiple searches with more specific queries.
• Hours of operation may not be available for all businesses.
• Some business details (like price level) are only shown for certain business categories.
• Results depend on what Google Maps returns for the given query and location, which can vary.
