Scrape any place or its reviews as clean JSON
Google Maps Data API
The Google Maps Data API turns any public Google Maps place into structured JSON with a single GET request. Name, category, rating, review counts, address, phone, website, opening hours and coordinates, plus full review lists with text and star ratings, scraped live with no Google Cloud project, billing account or proxies on your side.
The official Places API meters every field group against a Google Cloud billing account and caps reviews at five per place. This Google Maps scraper API takes a place URL and returns the live listing, including reviews well beyond the official five, with an optional days_limit to keep only recent ones. Most requests complete synchronously in 5-45 seconds.
Free tier included, no credit card required. One key works across all 49 APIs.

Google Maps Data API Documentation
Pass a Google Maps place URL and get a complete, structured JSON record back in a single request. All endpoints are GET. On /v1/reviews, limit accepts 1-50 (default 10) and days_limit keeps only reviews newer than N days; fields= lets you keep only the top-level fields you need. If a scrape exceeds the sync window you get HTTP 202 with a snapshot_id to resolve via /v1/result.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The Places API requires a Google Cloud project with billing enabled, meters every field group separately, and returns at most five reviews per place. The Google Maps Data API is a flat scraper: pass any public place URL with your API Codex key and get the live listing as JSON, including review lists far beyond five. No Cloud project, no per-field SKUs.
/v1/reviews returns up to 50 reviews per call (limit=1-50, default 10), each with author, star rating, text and date. Add days_limit=90 to keep only reviews from the last 90 days, which is ideal for reputation monitoring where only recent sentiment matters.
Every request triggers a live scrape of the listing at that moment, so ratings, review counts, hours and open-now status reflect the current state rather than a cached database. That is also why responses take 5-45 seconds instead of milliseconds: you are trading a little latency for data that is never stale.
If a scrape exceeds the synchronous window, the API returns 202 with a snapshot_id instead of making you wait on an open connection. Poll GET /v1/result?snapshot_id=... until it returns 200 with status "ready" and your data. This mostly happens on /v1/reviews, where results are typically ready within 1-2 minutes.
Any public Google Maps place URL works: the long /maps/place/... URL from your browser bar or a maps.app.goo.gl share link. The API resolves it to the listing and scrapes it; you do not need a place_id or CID, though URLs that contain them work too.
