## 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 Netherlands Business Scraper

### What does Google Maps Netherlands Business Scraper do?

Google Maps Netherlands Business Scraper lets you extract business listings from Google Maps in Netherlands for any search query. For each result you get the business name, full address, phone number, **email address** (automatically extracted from the business website), website URL, star rating, and GPS coordinates — ready to export to CSV or feed directly into your CRM.

This scraper was built because the official Google Places API is expensive ($17 per 1,000 results) and requires an approved project. This Actor gives you the same data — plus emails that Google doesn't provide — at a fraction of the cost, with no API key needed.

The scraper supports:

- **Search by keyword and location** — use any query you would type into Google Maps (e.g. `loodgieter Amsterdam`, `electrician Chicago`)
- **Multiple queries in one run** — run 10 or 100 different queries in a single job and get all results merged
- **Email extraction** — for each business that has a website, the scraper visits it and extracts the contact email address
- **GPS coordinates** — latitude and longitude parsed from the Google Maps URL
- **Real-time results** — data is pushed to your dataset as each business is scraped; no need to wait for the full run
- **Export to CSV, JSON, or Excel** — directly from the Apify console

### How much will scraping Google Maps cost you?

This scraper uses a **pay-per-result** pricing model: it costs **$4.00 to scrape 1,000 business listings** ($0.004 per result).

With the **Apify Free plan** ($5 free usage credit every month), you can scrape approximately **1,250 businesses per month for free**.

Email extraction is included in the price — for each business that has a website, the scraper automatically retrieves the contact email. No extra cost per email found.

Apify Residential Proxies are used automatically to prevent Google blocks — the cost is included in the per-result price above.

### What does the output look like?

Each scraped business has the following structure:

```json
{
  "title": "Best Plumbing NYC",
  "category": "Plumber",
  "address": "350 5th Ave, New York, NY 10118",
  "phone": "+1 212-555-0147",
  "email": "hello@bestplumbing.com",
  "website": "https://www.bestplumbing.com/",
  "rating": "4.7",
  "latitude": 40.7484,
  "longitude": -73.9967,
  "searchQuery": "loodgieter Amsterdam",
  "scrapedAt": "2024-06-15T09:23:11.000Z"
}
```

You can export all results as **CSV**, **JSON**, or **Excel**, or use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) to push data directly into your CRM, Google Sheets, or any other tool.

### What can you use this data for?

- **B2B lead generation** — build targeted prospect lists by trade and city, complete with direct contact details
- **Email outreach campaigns** — reach business owners directly by email instead of cold-calling
- **Market research** — map business density, analyze competition, and identify underserved areas
- **CRM enrichment** — fill in missing phone numbers, emails, and addresses on existing contact records
- **Local SEO monitoring** — track competitor ratings and review counts in your niche

### How to use Google Maps Netherlands Business Scraper

1. Click **Try for free** to open the scraper
2. Add your search queries — one per line (e.g. `loodgieter Amsterdam`, `electrician Chicago`)
3. Set **Max results per query** — the default is 20, the maximum is 100
4. Click **Run** — results start appearing in your dataset within seconds
5. When the run finishes, click **Export** to download CSV, JSON, or Excel

### Limitations and things to keep in mind

Scraping Google Maps is inherently dynamic — Google regularly changes its page structure, and results may vary by location, time of day, and query complexity. We regularly update this scraper to keep it working, but the number of results per run may occasionally fluctuate. The best way to validate for your specific use case is to run a small test first.

**Email extraction**: Not every business has a website listed on Google Maps, and not every website publishes a contact email address. On average you can expect to find an email for **40–60% of businesses**, depending on the industry and region. Professional services (plumbers, lawyers, accountants) tend to have higher email rates than restaurants or retail shops.

**Proxy requirement**: Residential proxies are required to reliably access Google Maps. The scraper uses Apify Residential Proxies by default — do not disable this setting.

### Support and feedback

If you encounter a bug or want to request a new feature, please open an issue on the **Issues tab** in the Apify console. We actively maintain this scraper and respond to all reported issues.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Enter one search query per line — exactly as you would type it into Google Maps.<br><br><b>Examples:</b> <code>loodgieter Amsterdam</code>, <code>restaurant Paris 7ème</code>, <code>dentist New York</code>

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of results to scrape per search query.<br><b>Default:</b> 20  |  <b>Max:</b> 100<br><br>⚠️ Higher values mean longer runs and higher costs.

## `extractEmail` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the scraper visits each business website to find a contact email address.<br><br>📌 Adds ~3 seconds per result. Disable for faster runs when you only need phone numbers.

## `minRating` (type: `number`):

Only save businesses with a rating <b>at or above</b> this value.<br><br><b>Examples:</b> <code>4</code> = only businesses rated 4★ or higher  |  <code>0</code> = no filter

## `minReviews` (type: `integer`):

Only save businesses with <b>at least this many reviews</b>.<br><br><b>Examples:</b> <code>10</code> = skip businesses with fewer than 10 reviews  |  <code>0</code> = no filter

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

Residential proxies are <b>required</b> to access Google Maps reliably. Do not disable — runs without proxies will be blocked immediately.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [
    "loodgieter Amsterdam"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 5
}' |
apify call totaka/google-maps-netherlands-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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