Google Maps

Send a Google Maps link to Scrape or Batch scrape and you get the data as JSON: the places in a search with phone, website, rating and hours, a place’s full record, its reviews, or autocomplete suggestions. Every Google domain works, and each link costs 1 credit. A place Google doesn’t know, or a search with no results, costs nothing.

Example

{ "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/search/dentist+in+Lekki,+Lagos"], "output": "json", "wait": true }

Each of the 20 places in the item’s result looks like this (shortened):

{
  "position": 1,
  "title": "Hilton Dental Clinic Lekki",
  "placeId": "ChIJ89e4lQv1OxARxaJDaIA0VIE",
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps?cid=9319131255046120133",
  "category": "Dentist",
  "address": "13 Whitesands St, Ikate bustop, Lagos 105102, Lagos, Nigeria",
  "location": { "lat": 6.4293659, "lng": 3.4787779 },
  "phone": "+234 701 007 5124",
  "website": "http://www.hiltondental.com.ng/",
  "rating": 4.9,
  "reviewsCount": 844,
  "businessStatus": "OPERATIONAL",
  "openState": "Closed · Opens 8 AM Mon"
}

Links that work

Link	Example	You get
Search	`google.com/maps/search/coffee+shops/@30.26,-97.74,13z`, `/maps?q=...`, `/search?tbm=map&q=...`	20 places per page, each with its details
Nearby search	`/maps/search/coffee/@40.7128,-74.006,14z?radius=800`	Places inside the circle, with their distance from the centre
Place	`/maps/place/<name>/@lat,lng,...`, `?q=place_id:ChIJ...`, `?cid=...`	The full place and its first page of reviews (up to 60)
Reviews	Any place link plus `&reviews=newest`, or Google’s own `search.google.com/local/reviews?placeid=...`	Up to 300 reviews per link, in the order you choose
Autocomplete	`google.com/s?tbm=map&suggest=p&q=<text>`	Up to 5 suggestions with place ids and coordinates
Share link	`maps.app.goo.gl/...`	Whatever the link opens

Results follow the link’s language (hl=de) and country (gl=ng), or the proxyCountry you send with useProxy: true. Without either, results are for the US.

Options

Spidra reads these from the link and doesn’t send them to Google:

Option	For	What it does
`start=20`, `40`, …	Search	The next page of 20 places, up to 480. `nextStart` in the result says where the next page starts.
`radius=<metres>`	Search	Only places within this distance of the map position (50 m to 50 km). `near=lat,lng` or `near=<place name>` sets the centre.
`grid=<cells>&cell=<n>&area=<metres>`	Search	One cell of a square grid over an area, such as `grid=9&cell=4`. Add `zoom=<n>` (and `spacing=<metres>`) for a local rank grid: the list Google shows with the map centred on that cell, in Google’s order.
`reviews=newest`, `relevant`, `highest`, `lowest`	Place	Return reviews in that order.
`reviews_since=2026-01-31`	Reviews	Stop at reviews older than this date.
`reviews_max=<n>`	Reviews	At most this many reviews.
`reviews_part=<n>`	Reviews	Reviews 301 to 600 for part 2, and so on. `nextCursor` (in `reviews_after`) continues where a link stopped.
`reviewer=full`	Reviews	Include each reviewer’s photo and profile link.
`only=places`	Autocomplete	Drop plain search suggestions.

Reviews, newest first:

{ "urls": ["https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJ89e4lQv1OxARxaJDaIA0VIE&reviews=newest&reviews_max=3"], "output": "json" }

{
  "type": "reviews",
  "sort": "newest",
  "reviewsReturned": 3,
  "place": { "title": "Hilton Dental Clinic Lekki", "rating": 4.9, "reviewsCount": 844 },
  "reviews": [
    { "position": 1, "rating": 5, "date": "2 days ago", "isoDate": "2026-10-22T13:20:19.001Z", "text": "I had a great experience\nI recommend", "language": "en", "response": null }
  ]
}

Fields

Every place has the same fields in a search and on its own:

Identity: title, placeId, dataId, cid, kgmid, googleMapsUrl
Location: address, addressLines, addressComponents (street, city, postal code, state, country code), plusCode, location, timeZone
Contact: phone, phoneE164, website, domain
Ratings: rating, reviewsCount, reviewsLink, reviewSnippets
Hours: businessStatus, openNow (in the place’s own time zone), openState, hours and hoursByDay with HH:MM times
About: category, categories, description, attributes, thumbnail, and hotel or gasPrice where they apply

A place link adds owner, claimed, ownerDescription, photosCount, photos, ratingDistribution, reviewTopics, areas, entrances, popularTimes (when Google shows them) and the first page of reviews. Nearby searches add distanceMeters. Each review has rating, date, isoDate, text, textTranslated, language, images, link, the owner’s response and the reviewer. fieldStatus on each place says why a field is empty: absent (the place doesn’t have it), unavailableAnonymous (Google doesn’t show it to signed-out visitors) or notRequested (it only comes with the place link, so scrape the place’s googleMapsUrl).

Limits

20 places per search page. Use start, a grid, or several smaller areas for more.
Signed-in only details. Menus, reservation links, price level and the full photo gallery aren’t shown to signed-out visitors.
Prices follow the country. Hotel and fuel prices are in the currency of the market the request runs in. Set gl or proxyCountry to choose it.
Directions, contributor pages and a bare map view aren’t read as data; they go through a normal browser scrape.

Templates

Ready-made templates for Google Maps: leads for a search (with emails and social links from each website), leads for a whole area, reviews export, place details and a local rank grid.

Check Google’s terms before you collect data from Google Maps. Reviewer names are personal data in many countries, and you’re responsible for how you use what you collect.
