What does Google Maps Photos Scraper do?

Scrape photos from Google Maps for many places in one Apify run. Photos-only micro-actor — accepts batch place_ids / data_ids.

Why use Google Maps Photos Scraper?

• Batch input. Paste many place_ids once — no separate task per place.
• Dedicated photos actor. Every other Apify Maps actor bundles photos with the full place crawl; this one is purpose-built.
• Cheapest photos-only actor on Apify. $0.30 / 1k photos.
• Per-place pagination budget. max_pages_per_place (1-50) caps spend.
• Single-purpose UI. No mode dropdown, no fields you'd never use.

What data can Google Maps Photos Scraper extract?

How to scrape Google Maps

1. Click Try for free.
2. Paste one or many Google Place IDs into Place IDs.
3. Optional: set gl, hl.
4. Set max_pages_per_place — each page ≈ 10 photos.
5. Click Start — photos stream into the dataset, tagged with source place_id.

How much will it cost?

$0.003 per photo page (≈ $0.30 per 1,000 photos). Batching 100 places at max_pages_per_place: 3 = 300 calls = $0.90.

Example record:

{
"place_id":"ChIJ_3Su08fj5UYRkFfNoiuWQUk",
"url":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/\u2026=w4032-h3024",
"thumbnail":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/\u2026=s100",
"width":4032,
"height":3024,
"author":"Jane Doe",
"uploaded_at":"2026-03-10T15:00:00Z"
}

Tips / Advanced options

• Use with ML pipelines. Photo URLs stay fresh for weeks — download once, cache the binary.
• Dedupe on url. Google sometimes returns the same image at different resolutions; dedupe by stripping the =w…-h… query string.
• Pipe from google-maps-scraper. Search Places → pipe the place_id column here for bulk photo extraction.
• Thumbnail vs. full image. thumbnail is a 100-px square. Use for UI; use url for full resolution.

FAQ, Disclaimers, Support

Do these URLs expire?

They're served by Google's CDN and stay valid for months. For production, download + rehost.

Why no reviews / posts fields?

Those are separate endpoints. Use google-maps-reviews-scraper and google-maps-scraper (List Posts mode).

Can I filter by upload date?

Not at the Google level — paginate newestFirst equivalent isn't exposed. Post-filter on uploaded_at.

What's the max batch size?

≈ 500-1000 places at 256 MB; chunk larger batches across runs.
