## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Maps Scraper — Business Leads, Phones & Websites

Turn any Google Maps search into a clean, exportable list of businesses. Just type **what** you want and **where** — like `restaurants in Chicago`, `dentists in London`, or `plumbers in Austin TX` — and get back every matching business with its **name, phone, website, full address, rating, review count, category and coordinates**.

Perfect for **local lead generation**, sales prospecting, market research, competitor mapping and building B2B contact lists.

### What you get for every place

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `name` | Business name |
| `category` / `categories` | Primary category + all listed categories |
| `phone` | Contact phone number |
| `website` | Official website URL |
| `address` | Full formatted address |
| `street`, `cityRegion`, `country` | Address parts |
| `rating` | Average star rating |
| `latitude`, `longitude` | GPS coordinates |
| `googleMapsUrl` | Direct Google Maps link (by CID) |
| `googlePlaceId`, `featureId`, `cid` | Stable Google identifiers |
| `searchQuery` | The search this result came from |
| `scrapedAt` | Timestamp |

### How to use it

1. In **What & where to search**, add one or more searches the way you'd type them into Google Maps:
   - `coffee shops in Seattle`
   - `real estate agents in Dubai`
   - `hotels in Barcelona`
2. Optionally pick a **results language** and **country**, and set a **max results** limit.
3. Run it. Export the results as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or pull them from the API.

Leave the search empty and the actor returns a **mixed sample** of popular business types across major cities, so you can try it instantly.

### Great for

- **Local lead generation** — build targeted lists of businesses with phone and website in any city or niche.
- **Sales prospecting** — find and qualify prospects by category and location.
- **Market & competitor research** — map every competitor in an area with ratings and review counts.
- **Data enrichment** — add ratings, categories and contact details to an existing company list by searching each name + city.

### Tips

- **Be specific with location** — `pizza in Brooklyn NY` returns tighter results than just `pizza`.
- **Split big areas** — run one search per city or district to go beyond a single area's result ceiling.
- **Use a proxy** — a proxy is recommended (and enabled by default) for reliable results at scale.

### Output example

```json
{
  "name": "Blue Bottle Coffee",
  "category": "Coffee shop",
  "phone": "(510) 653-3394",
  "website": "https://bluebottlecoffee.com/",
  "address": "300 Webster St, Oakland, CA 94607, United States",
  "cityRegion": "Oakland, CA 94607",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "latitude": 37.8071,
  "longitude": -122.2760,
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps?cid=1234567890",
  "searchQuery": "coffee shops in Oakland"
}
```

### FAQ

**Do I need coordinates or IDs?** No. Just type the location in plain words inside your search.

**How many results per search?** Google Maps shows up to a few hundred per area; the actor paginates through them automatically. For full coverage of a large city, split it into districts or nearby towns.

**Can I limit the volume?** Yes — use **Max results (total)** and **Max results per search**.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Type what you want and where, exactly like the Google Maps search box — for example "restaurants in Chicago", "dentists in London", "plumbers in Austin TX". Add as many searches as you like. Leave empty to get a mixed sample of popular business types across major cities.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Language of the returned business info (Google Maps interface language).

## `countryCode` (type: `string`):

Which country's Google to search from. Affects local ranking and formats. Tip: also name the location inside your search (e.g. "cafes in Paris").

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after collecting this many places in total across all searches. Set 0 for no limit.

## `maxItemsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Optional cap on the number of places returned for each individual search. Set 0 for no per-search limit.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Recommended. A proxy is needed to collect results reliably at scale. Datacenter proxies work well; use residential for very large jobs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "dentists in London",
    "coffee shops in Los Angeles",
    "real estate agents in Dubai"
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "countryCode": "us",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Open to view, filter and export all scraped Google Maps places (JSON, CSV, Excel).
