Advanced Google Maps Scraper

❓ What does it do?

This Google Maps place-details scraper loads a place by Maps URL and/or Place ID (or a Manager dataset ID) and writes one dataset row per place.

Reliable on the current public build:

• Place id
• name
• category
• address

Best-effort / often incomplete today: phone, rating, review count, opening hours, popular times, website, plus code, share link, description, menu link, and amenity/property lists. Prefer this actor for identity + location basics; use Reviews / Photos actors for review text and photo URLs.

Useful for lead generation and local SEO workflows when you already have Place IDs or Maps URLs (or a dataset from the Advanced Google Maps Scraping Manager).

📝 Input format

You can supply a URL or a place ID to scrape place details.

NOTE: if you supply both a URL and a place ID for a single place, it may be scraped twice and both results will appear in the dataset. Prefer either a URL or a place ID for each place, not both.

• 🎯 Targets
  • 🔗 Place URLs
  • 🆔 Place IDs
  • 💾 Dataset ID (e.g. from Advanced Google Maps Scraping Manager)

If you are using the Advanced Google Maps Scraping Manager to find places, use the integrations tab in the manager actor to trigger this scraper automatically when places are found.

🏎️ Speed

Speed depends on Actor memory and settings. Capture time varies; missing optional fields usually means a faster row, not a failed run.

💳 Pricing (pay-per-event)

Pricing: Pay-per-event. Bronze $5 / Silver $4.50 / Gold $4.00 per 1,000 events at 1 GB RAM. Actor-start billing also applies (events scale with memory GB). One Bronze unit ≈ one billed place-details row.

Free Apify users can run all documented features — nothing core is paid-only gated. Higher volume or richer optional fields cost more via events, not feature locks.
