Question 1

What is Google Maps Scraper?

Accepted Answer

This Google Maps scraper lets you get more and faster data from Google Places than the official Google Places API. Our unofficial Google Maps API enables you to extract all of the following data from Google Maps:
🔗 Title, subtitle, category, place ID, and URL
📍 Address, location, plus code and exact coordinates
☎️ Phone and website, if available
🏷 Menu and price, if available
🔒 Temporarily or permanently closed status
⌚️ Popular times - histogram & live occupancy
⭐️ Average rating (totalScore), review count, and review distribution
🍔 List of images

Question 2

How does Google Maps Scraper work?

Accepted Answer

It works exactly as if you were searching through Google Maps and copying information from each page you find. It opens Google Maps website, goes to a specified location, then writes your search query into the search bar. Then it scrolls down until it reaches the final page or maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch. It enqueues all the places as separate pages and then copypastes all visible data into an organized document. To understand the process fully, just try it out in your browser - the scraper does exactly the same thing, only much faster.

Question 3

Question 4

What are the disadvantages of Google Maps API?

Accepted Answer

With the Google Maps API, you get $200 worth of credit usage every month free of charge. That means 28,500 maploads per month. However, the Google Maps API caps your search results to 60, regardless of the radius you specify. So, if you want to scrape data for bars in New York, for example, you'll get results for only 60 of the thousands of bars in the area.

Accepted Answer

You can use the extracted data to:
create a potential customer base and prospection files
find new clients
generate leads
search and analyze businesses similar to yours
monitor brand sentiment and service quality, and identify fake reviews
find where to buy products
analyze geo-spatial data for scientific or engineering work

Question 6

Is it legal to scrape Google Maps data?

Accepted Answer

Web scraping is legal if you are extracting publicly available data which is most data on Google Maps. However, you should respect boundaries such as personal data and intellectual property regulations. You should only scrape personal data if you have a legitimate reason to do so, and you should also factor in Google's Terms of Use.

You can integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and more.
