Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README Find **every business of a given type in any city** — with phone, website, address, rating, opening hours and live open/closed status. Just enter a place type and a location and get a clean, exportable list of businesses and leads. ### What does Google Maps Places & Leads Scraper do? This Actor turns a simple **location + place type** into a full list of matching businesses on Google Maps. Give it `freight forwarding company` and `Cairo, Egypt` and it returns the freight and logistics companies in and around Cairo, each with its **name, phone, website, full address, city, star rating, category, photo, opening hours, and whether it's open right now**. You can search many place types at once, filter to only businesses that have a phone or website, set a minimum rating, and export everything to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. Running on Apify gives you scheduling, an API, and integrations with Google Sheets, Make, Zapier and more. ### Why use this Actor? - **Lead generation** — build prospect lists of any business type in any area, complete with phone numbers and websites. - **Local market research** — map competitors and compare ratings across a city or region. - **Sales territory planning** — get addresses and coordinates for every relevant business. - **Data enrichment** — attach ratings, categories and contact details to a list of areas. ### How to use it 1. Enter one or more **search terms** (e.g. `dentist`, `coffee shop`, `freight forwarding company`). 2. Enter a **location** (e.g. `Cairo, Egypt`, `Brooklyn NY`, or a ZIP code). 3. Optionally set **max results**, a **minimum rating**, or require a **phone/website**. 4. Click **Start**. When it finishes, open the **Output** tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. ### Input | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `searchTerms` | List of place types / services / keywords. Each runs as its own search. **Required.** | | `location` | City or area to search in (free text). | | `maxResults` | Max places per search term (default 100). | | `minRating` | Keep only places rated at least this many stars. | | `skipPlacesWithoutPhone` | Keep only places that list a phone number. | | `skipPlacesWithoutWebsite` | Keep only places that list a website. | | `openNowOnly` | Keep only places open at scrape time. | | `language` / `countryCode` | Language and region of the results. | #### Example input ```json { "searchTerms": ["freight forwarding company"], "location": "Cairo, Egypt", "maxResults": 100, "minRating": 4, "skipPlacesWithoutPhone": true, "countryCode": "eg" } ```` ### Output Each place is one item in the dataset. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. #### Example output ```json { "name": "World Cargo Egypt", "category": "Freight forwarding service", "categories": ["Freight forwarding service", "Logistics service"], "address": "Office NO 505 CACC Cargo village Cairo Airport, Egypt", "borough": "El Nozha", "city": "El Nozha", "state": "Cairo Governorate", "country_code": "EG", "phone": "+20 12 81825882", "website": "https://worldcargoegypt.com/", "rating": 4.7, "latitude": 30.1184386, "longitude": 31.4038868, "photo_url": "https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/...=s44...", "image_url": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gps-cs-s/...", "google_maps_url": "https://maps.google.com/?cid=6302...", "timezone": "Africa/Cairo", "attributes": { "Service options": ["On-site services", "Online appointments"] }, "menu_links": [], "provider_links": [], "status": "Closed · Opens 9 AM Fri", "open_now": false, "opening_hours": { "Monday": "9 AM–5 PM", "Friday": "Closed" }, "query": "freight forwarding company", "search_location": "Cairo, Egypt" } ``` #### Output fields | Field | Meaning | |-------|---------| | `name` | Business name | | `category` / `categories` | Primary category / all categories | | `address`, `borough`, `city`, `state`, `country_code` | Location details | | `phone` | Phone number | | `website` | Website URL | | `rating` | Average star rating | | `latitude` / `longitude` | Coordinates | | `photo_url` / `image_url` | Thumbnail / full-size photo | | `google_maps_url` | Direct link to the listing | | `timezone` | Local timezone | | `attributes` | Service options, amenities, accessibility, payments, etc. (when available) | | `menu_links` / `provider_links` | Menu / ordering / booking links (when available) | | `status` / `open_now` | Current open/closed status | | `opening_hours` | Per-day hours | ### FAQ - **How many results can I get?** Google Maps caps a single search at roughly 100–120 results. To go deeper, split into narrower terms or smaller areas (e.g. by neighborhood). - **Are reviews included?** Only the aggregate star rating is returned — not individual reviews. - **Legality** — scrape only publicly available data and respect Google's Terms of Service and applicable laws. You are responsible for how you use the output. - **Support** — questions or a bug? Use the Actor's Issues tab. # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Service, place type, or keywords to look for. One per entry — each runs as a separate search. ## `location` (type: `string`): City / area to search in. Free text — 'Cairo', 'Cairo, Egypt', 'Brooklyn NY', '10001'. Appended to each search term; Google geocodes it. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Upper bound on places returned for each search term. Google Maps typically caps a single query around 100-120 results. ## `language` (type: `string`): Result language (Google 'hl' code). ## `countryCode` (type: `string`): Region bias (Google 'gl' code), e.g. 'us', 'eg', 'gb'. ## `minRating` (type: `integer`): Only keep places with at least this star rating (1-5). Leave empty for no filter. ## `skipPlacesWithoutPhone` (type: `boolean`): Skip places that don't list a phone number. ## `skipPlacesWithoutWebsite` (type: `boolean`): Skip places that don't list a website. ## `openNowOnly` (type: `boolean`): Skip places that are currently closed. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. A proxy is REQUIRED — the Actor exits with an error if none is provided. Residential proxies are strongly recommended to avoid Google rate limits. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "dentist", "coffee shop", "freight forwarding company" ], "location": "Cairo, Egypt", "maxResults": 100, "language": "en", "countryCode": "us", "skipPlacesWithoutPhone": false, "skipPlacesWithoutWebsite": false, "openNowOnly": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
