## 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

### Affordable Google Maps data extraction built for scale

Extract structured business data from Google Maps with fast execution, clean datasets, and predictable pricing.

✅ Only **$0.45 per 1,000 results**\
✅ No proxy configuration needed\
✅ No browser overhead\
✅ No hidden compute charges\
✅ Pay only for successful extracted results

Designed for lead generation, local SEO, market research, CRM enrichment, and business intelligence workflows.

Unlike traditional browser-based actors that rely on Playwright or Puppeteer, this actor uses a lightweight infrastructure optimized for speed and low operating costs. That means faster runs, lower resource consumption, and more affordable pricing for large-scale scraping.

***

### Why choose this actor?

Many Google Maps scrapers:

- launch heavy Chromium browsers
- consume large amounts of memory
- increase runtime costs
- require proxy configuration
- become expensive at scale

This actor avoids those problems entirely.

Everything is already included in the pricing:

- proxies
- infrastructure
- scraping costs
- compute handling

You simply run the actor and receive structured results.

| Feature | This Actor | Traditional Browser Actors |
|---|---|---|
| Price per 1,000 results | **$0.45** | $2.00+ |
| Browser automation | No | Yes |
| Hidden proxy fees | No | Often |
| Extra compute charges | Included | Common |
| Bulk queries | Yes | Yes |
| Fast startup time | Yes | Slower |
| Optimized for scale | Yes | Limited |

***

## Tips

- Use multiple queries in one run to scrape several cities or keywords at once.
- Set `gl` to the country you're targeting for more accurate local rankings.
- Use the `fields` option to reduce dataset size and export only the columns you need.
- For best local precision, use the optional `ll` parameter with latitude, longitude, and zoom values.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,apt_marble/google-maps-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
