Apple Maps Scraper

Overview

This Apify actor extracts structured location data from Apple Maps. You provide a search query, and it returns detailed information about businesses, landmarks, and points of interest, including contact details, coordinates, images, and reviews. It's useful for building business directories, aggregating location data, or performing market research.

Key Features

• Query-based search: Find locations using natural language queries (e.g., "coffee shops in Berlin").
• Detailed data extraction: Gets addresses, GPS coordinates, phone numbers, websites, business hours, categories, and ratings.
• Rich media collection: Fetches images, reviews, and vendor source information.
• Geographic targeting: Results are based on the geographic location of the configured proxy.

How to Use

Configure and run the actor with a simple input. The most important setting is the proxy configuration, as it directly determines which geographic results you'll get.

Input

The actor requires a query and an optional proxyConfiguration.

{
  "query": "The Pyramids",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyCountry": "FR"
  }
}

Important Proxy Note: Apple Maps returns results near the proxy's location. Set apifyProxyCountry to the target country (e.g., "FR" for France, "US" for USA) to get relevant, localized results.

Output
