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.
Scrape Google Maps Results
We will use following URL as an example for this request:
https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=google_maps&api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&q=pizza&type=search
cURL
NodeJS
Python
PHP
Go
Java
.NET
Ruby
curl --request GET --url "https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=google_maps&api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&q=pizza&type=search"
const http = require("https");
const options = {
"method": "GET",
"hostname": "serpapi.webscrapingapi.com",
"port": null,
"path": "/v1?engine=google_maps&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=pizza&type=search",
"headers": {}
};
const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
const chunks = [];
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", function () {
const body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
console.log(body.toString());
});
});
req.end();

conn.request("GET", "/v1?engine=google_maps&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=pizza&type=search")
res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()
print(data.decode("utf-8"))
