Google Maps Reviews API

Scraping only the reviews from Google Maps is now possible with the Google SERP API.

To enable this engine, set the engine=google_maps_reviews parameter.

If you only want to scrape the Google Maps Reviews, you can do so by simply interacting with the Google Maps Reviews API. This engine will return a JSON object of all the reviews available, based on your query.
