Google Maps Scraper

Scrape Google Maps search results — business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, categories, GPS coordinates, and opening hours.

What you get

Business-listing data from Google Maps for any search query in any location — "plumbers in Houston", "dentists in Chicago", "hotels in Paris". Returns structured results with contact info, ratings, categories, GPS coordinates, area/neighborhood, description, and current opening status. Ideal for lead generation, market research, and location intelligence.

Pricing

Pay-per-result pricing. Tiered discounts apply automatically based on usage volume.

Limitations

• Review count and price level are not available from the search response — only rating and categories.
• Up to 100 results per single searchQuery. For more, split into narrower queries (e.g., per neighborhood).
• Results depend on Google Maps' own ranking for that query, language, and region.
• Sponsored results are handled as Google Maps presents them.
• Opening hours are returned only when Google Maps itself publishes a structured schedule for the business.

Compared to alternatives

• vs. compass/crawler-google-places (350K users, $0.004/result): Our $0.001-$0.002 tiered pricing is 2-4x cheaper for the same core fields (name, phone, website, rating, coordinates).
• vs. Google Places API: The Places API charges per call, caps responses at 60 results per query, and requires billing setup — this actor returns 100 results per query with simpler pricing.

Pairs well with Yelp Business Scraper and TripAdvisor Scraper for full local-business intelligence.

FAQ

Can I scrape outside the US? Yes. Set region to the country code (e.g., uk, in, de, fr) and optionally language to a matching locale.

Why isn't review count in the output? Review counts are not exposed in Google Maps' search-results response — they only appear on individual business pages. This actor is a search-results scraper; review count and price level are not retrievable at this level.

Can I get more than 100 results? Not in one query. Google Maps caps search-results depth — for larger lists, split your search geographically (e.g., "plumbers in Houston Heights" + "plumbers in Montrose" + ...).

Does the output include opening hours? Yes, when Google Maps publishes a structured schedule for the business. The opening_hours field returns a day-by-day array when available, and opening_status gives the live "Open / Closes at X" label.

How fresh is the data? Pulled live at run time — as fresh as Google Maps itself.
