Hello,
i am looking for restaurants in sheung wan (an area of hong kong) that has hundreds and hundreds of restaurants on google maps. but suprisingly it finds very little results here, just 25.
Also the results are all over the place, and not just in the area specified, as you can see in the attachment.
Can you help please ?

Hey,
thank you for using our actor. The actor doesn't work well with city areas - we use Nominatim API to turn your Location query into a map polygons. For your query: sheung wan, hong kong, Nominatim gives us only a single point. This is not ideal, because we cannot know how large is the area, so, we just create 5km radius around that point and we scrape in that area - that's why you get results all over the place.
There are two solutions:
- You can create your own map polygon of
sheung wanusing tools like geojson.io and pass it as Custom geolocation to the actor's input...See this run - simpler way would be to just use Google Maps URL that covers the whole area and pass it to actor's 🔗 Use a Google Maps URL instead of search terms ... See this run
The runs I shared found more results than yours but it's still less than 100. According to Google Maps, there doesn't seem to be that many restaurants in sheung wan
