Google Maps Business Scraper

Extract business data from Google Maps with intelligent email discovery

--- ## Key Features High-Speed Extraction Optimized for performance with average extraction time of 2.5 seconds per business. Uses intelligent wait strategies and ARIA-based selectors for maximum reliability. Hybrid Email Extraction Uses a two-tier approach for email discovery. The primary method combines Impit (a stealthy HTTP client with browser-like TLS fingerprints) with Cheerio for fast HTML parsing. Playwright browser automation serves as a fallback for JavaScript-heavy websites. Multi-Language Support Detects and navigates contact pages in over 30 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and many more. Smart Resource Management Built-in memory pressure handling, intelligent caching, and adaptive rate limiting ensure stable operation even with large result sets. ## Performance Benchmarks Tested locally with 97 businesses in Frankfurt, Germany: | Metric | Value | | ------------------ | ------------- | | Total Results | 97 businesses | | Total Time | 6.5 minutes | | Average per Result | 2.5 seconds | | Address Coverage | 100% | | Phone Coverage | 98% | | Website Coverage | 99% | | Rating Coverage | 100% | ### Extraction Speed by Phase | Phase | Time | Details | | -------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Navigation and Setup | 3 seconds | Page load, consent handling | | Result Loading | 25 seconds | Loads up to 100 results via scroll | | Data Extraction | 2.5s per result | Full business details | | Email Extraction | 0.3s per website | When enabled | Note: Performance may vary based on network conditions, proxy response times, and Google Maps server load. ## Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | | ------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | | businessType | String | What to search for (e.g., "restaurant", "hotel", "dentist") | Required | | location | String | Where to search (e.g., "Frankfurt, Germany", "Los Angeles, CA") | Required | | maxResults | Integer | Number of results to extract (1-100) | 3 | | extractEmails | Boolean | Enable deep website scanning for email addresses | false | ## Output Data Each extracted business includes: | Field | Description | Coverage | | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | | 01_name | Business name | 100% | | 02_address | Street address | 100% | | 03_rating | Google rating (1-5 stars) | 100% | | 04_reviews | Total number of reviews | 98% | | 05_phone | Phone number | 98% | | 06_website | Website URL | 99% | | 07_email | Email address (when extraction enabled) | Varies | | 08_search_query | Original search term | 100% | | 09_maps_url | Direct Google Maps link | 100% | | 10_scraped_at | Extraction timestamp (ISO 8601) | 100% | | 11_socials | Social media profiles (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok) | When found | ## Usage Examples Basic Search json { "businessType": "Hotel", "location": "Paris, France", "maxResults": 10 } Search with Email Extraction json { "businessType": "Dentist", "location": "Los Angeles, CA", "maxResults": 25, "extractEmails": true } ## Cost Estimation | Configuration | Approximate Cost (per 10 results) | | --------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Basic extraction | $0.01 - $0.02 | | With email extraction | $0.05 - $0.10 | Actual costs vary based on website complexity, proxy usage, and geographic region. ## Technical Details Proxy Configuration - Residential proxies for reliable access - Automatic session management - Smart retry with exponential backoff Why Residential Proxies? Google Maps requires premium proxy infrastructure for reliable access. Residential proxies provide the best success rate and data quality. ## Limitations - Maximum 100 results per run - Email extraction increases runtime by approximately 3-5x - Some websites may block automated access - Results depend on Google Maps data availability - Rate limiting may apply for high-volume usage ## Advanced Features For advanced use cases including Google Search enrichment and owner data discovery, see the dedicated actor: Unified Serper.dev ETL Processor ## Support For questions, issues, or feature requests, please open an issue on the actor page. ---
