## 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 Leads Scraper

Extract business leads from Google Maps at scale. Enrich each lead with emails,
phone numbers, and social media links crawled directly from the business website.

### Features

- Search Google Maps by any query ("restaurants in Brooklyn", "dentists Berlin")
- Extract name, category, address, phone, website, rating, reviews, place ID, coordinates
- Optional website crawl: emails, additional phones, Facebook / Instagram / LinkedIn / X / YouTube / TikTok
- Global — works for any country/language via the `language` input

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `category` | select | Common business category (e.g. `bakery`, `dentist`, `plumber`). Used when `keyword` is not set. Use `keyword` for a category not in the dropdown. |
| `keyword` | string | Custom keyword search, overrides `category` (e.g. `"boutique coffee"`). |
| `state` | select | US state 2-letter code, or `All` for nationwide. Only applies when `country` is US or unset. |
| `country` | select | Target country for a global search (e.g. `GB`, `DE`, `AU`). When set to a non-US country, `state` is ignored. |
| `searchQueries` | array | Advanced: raw free-text Google Maps queries. Overrides `category`/`keyword`+`state`/`country` when provided. |
| `max_results` | int | Maximum total leads to return across all queries (1–10,000, default 100). Note: Google Maps caps a single query at roughly 120 results, so split large targets across multiple `searchQueries` (e.g. one per city/borough) rather than relying on one query with a very high `max_results`. |
| `minRating` | number | Only include businesses rated at or above this value (1.0–5.0). |
| `minReviews` | int | Only include businesses with at least this many Google reviews. |
| `requireWebsite` | bool | Only include businesses with a website listed on Google Maps (default `false`). Useful for lead lists since email enrichment only works on businesses with a website. |
| `extractEmails` | bool | Crawl each business website for emails and social links (default `true`). |
| `language` | select | Language for Google Maps results (default `en`). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy settings — `AUTO` datacenter group works for most searches. |

### Output

One dataset record per business with only the fields we could populate:
`name`, `googleBusinessCategories`, `street`, `city`, `state`, `zip`, `country`,
`countryCode`, `phoneNumber`, `url`, `reviewScore`, `reviewsNumber`, `placeId`,
`googleMapsUrl`, `priceLevel`, `plusCode`, `location`, `email`, `emails`,
`facebook`, `instagram`, `linkedin`, `twitter`, `youtube`, `tiktok`,
`websitePhones`, `contactPageUrl`, `websitePagesCrawled`, `scrapedAt`.

### FAQ

**Q: Do I need a proxy?**
A: Not for most searches. The actor retries with Apify Residential automatically
if the first attempt fails.

**Q: Why are some fields missing?**
A: We omit fields we couldn't populate rather than emit `null`. Every field
in your record has real data.

**Q: Does enrichment slow things down?**
A: Website crawl adds ~1-3s per business. Disable `enrichWithWebsite` for a
Maps-only run.

## MCP server setup

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

    }
}

```

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).
