## 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.

### What does Google Maps Email Extractor do?

### How It Works

1. **Search** — Searches Google Maps for businesses matching your queries
2. **Extract** — Visits each business listing to get name, address, phone, rating, website, and more
3. **Enrich** — Scans each business website for email addresses and social media links
4. **Output** — Saves all data to the dataset in a flat, easy-to-use format

### Use Cases

- **Lead generation** — Build targeted contact lists for sales outreach
- **Sales prospecting** — Find business emails and phone numbers by industry and location
- **Market research** — Analyze businesses, ratings, and categories in specific areas
- **Competitor analysis** — Map competitors and their online presence
- **Local SEO** — Audit business listings and contact information

### Tips

- **Search query format**: Use natural language like "restaurants in New York" or "plumbers near Chicago, IL"
- **Specific queries work better**: "Italian restaurants in Manhattan" yields more relevant results than just "restaurants"
- **Deep enrichment**: Disable `deepEnrichment` if you only need Google Maps data (name, phone, address, rating) — this makes the scraper significantly faster
- **Deduplication**: When using multiple queries that may overlap, results are automatically deduplicated by Google Place ID

### Limitations

- Google Maps shows a maximum of ~120 businesses per search area
- Some businesses don't have websites, so email extraction won't work for those
- Email addresses are extracted from publicly visible website content only
- Social media links are found by scanning website HTML for known social media URLs
- Results depend on Google Maps' search relevance for your query

### FAQ

**How many businesses can I scrape per run?**
You can scrape up to 100 businesses per search query. Use multiple queries to cover more businesses.

**Does this actor need cookies or login?**
No. Google Maps search results are publicly accessible without authentication.

**Why are some email fields empty?**
Not all businesses have websites, and not all websites display email addresses publicly. The scraper checks the main page and common contact pages (e.g., /contact, /about).

**Can I search in languages other than English?**
Yes, set the `language` parameter to your preferred language code (e.g., `es` for Spanish, `fr` for French).

**How long does a typical run take?**
A search for 20 businesses with email enrichment typically takes 2-5 minutes. Without enrichment, it's about 1-2 minutes.

```

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).
