Google Maps API
The Google Maps Scraper API allows you to easily scrape Google Maps by simply sending an HTTP request.
To enable this engine, set the engine=google_maps
parameter.
Interacting with the Google Maps scraper is quite straightforward. As opposed to the Google Search API, which can take a lot of parameters and allows more flexibility in customizing the response, the Google Maps API has fewer options, but the data it returns is still as rich and accurate.

Google Maps API Integration Examples
