Google Maps Reviews Scraper

Extract place details, ratings, and customer reviews from any Google Maps location. Export clean, flat data to CSV, JSON, or Excel.

• Scrape place details: name, rating, address, coordinates, contact info, categories, and more
• Collect customer reviews: text, rating, reviewer profile, photos, business responses
• Bulk scrape via URLs, Place IDs, CIDs, or CID strings
• CSV-friendly flat output by default, no nested objects

How it works

1. Add places - Paste Google Maps URLs, enter Place IDs, CIDs, or CID strings
2. Configure - Choose scrape mode, review sorting, and filters
3. Run - Get structured data in your preferred format

Input

Options

Example input

{
"scrapeMode":"all",
"places":{

Output

Flat format (default)

Each row is a self-contained record with all fields at the top level. Place fields use a place_ prefix. This format exports cleanly to CSV and Excel.

{
"place_name":"Gwanghwamun Square",
"place_rating":4.6,
"place_review_count":12847,
"place_address":"161 Sejong-daero, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea",
"place_lat":37.5723718,
"place_lng":126.9767087,
"place_cid":16808063476328097272,
"place_cid_str":"0xe955a50c118085f8",
"place_place_id":"ChIJrUQcQutYezURGICADEylVek",
"place_category":"Plaza",
"place_categories":"Plaza | Tourist attraction",
"place_website":"https://www.seoul.go.kr/",
"place_phone":"+82-2-120",
"review_id":"ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0...",
"rating":5,
"text":"Beautiful open space in the heart of Seoul...",
"published_at":"2025-03-15T09:30:00Z",
"reviewer_name":"John D.",
"reviewer_is_local_guide":true,
"scraped_at":"2025-04-06T12:00:00Z"
}

Nested format

When output format is set to Nested (JSON), data is grouped under place and review objects:

{
"input":{"url":"https://...","language":"en"},
"place":{
"name":"Gwanghwamun Square",
"rating":4.6,
"review_count":12847,
"address":"161 Sejong-daero, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea",
"lat":37.5723718,
"lng":126.9767087
},
"review":{
"review_id":"ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0...",
"rating":5,
"text":"Beautiful open space...",
"reviewer":{"name":"John D.","is_local_guide":true}
},
"hasReviews":true,
"scrapedAt":"2025-04-06T12:00:00Z"
}

Tips

How to find a Google Maps URL

1. Open Google Maps
2. Search for a place and click on it
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar

How to find a Place ID

Look for the 1s parameter in a Google Maps URL:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/...data=...!1sChIJLwiGVMKifDURzGJnUMCMSx8...

The value after !1s is the Place ID: ChIJLwiGVMKifDURzGJnUMCMSx8

How to find a CID or cid_str

Look for these values in a Google Maps URL or in a previously scraped dataset row:

• cid: decimal identifier such as 16813526255109441016
• cid_str: hex pair such as 0x357ca2eb421c44ad:0xe955a50c118085f8

Reviews since date

The "Reviews since date" filter only works when review sort order is set to Newest first. This is because the scraper stops paginating when it reaches reviews older than the specified date, which only works correctly in chronological order.
