Google Maps Scraper

Extract Google Maps business leads, emails, reviews, phone numbers, websites, ratings, coordinates, and more with a free open-source CLI, Web UI, REST API, and optional self-hosted platform.

Use it for lead generation, local business research, sales prospecting, data enrichment, or developer automation.

Ask an AI Agent to Get Leads

The easiest way to use Google Maps Scraper is with an AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any Agent Skills-compatible tool. You describe the leads you want; the agent plans the searches, runs a small validation, starts the full local scrape, monitors it, and helps you work with the results.

Install the skill:

npx skills add gosom/google-maps-scraper

Then ask your agent in plain language:

Find dentists in Berlin and include their websites and email addresses.

The agent automatically checks for the latest skill and Docker image, then asks only for details it still needs. For larger crawls, you can provide your own proxy, continue without one, or review three randomly selected proxy sponsors. Proxy credentials are entered through a masked local terminal prompt and are never pasted into the agent chat.

Requires Docker and Node.js on macOS, Linux, or Windows through WSL. See how the agent workflow works.

Quick Start

Command Line

mkdir -p gmaps-output
docker run \
  -v gmaps-playwright-cache:/opt \
  -v "$PWD/example-queries.txt:/queries.txt:ro" \
  -v "$PWD/gmaps-output:/out" \
  gosom/google-maps-scraper \
  -input /queries.txt \
  -results /out/results.csv \
  -depth 1 \
  -exit-on-inactivity 3m

Useful options:

| Need | Flag | |---|---| | Extract emails from business websites | -email | | Write JSON instead of CSV | -json -results /out/results.json | | Collect extra reviews | -extra-reviews -json -results /out/results.json | | Resume an interrupted file scrape | -resume -results /out/results.csv | | Increase concurrency | -c 4, -c 8, or -c 16 | | Run multiple pages per browser | -pages-per-browser 4 | | Limit browser processes | -browser-pool-size 2 | | Use proxies | -proxies "http://user:pass@host:port,socks5://host:port" | | Read proxies from a credentials file | -proxies-file /path/to/proxies.txt |

-c controls how many scrape jobs run in parallel. Higher concurrency can finish large input files faster, but it also uses more CPU/RAM and can increase blocking or failures, especially without proxies. Start with the default for a first run. For larger jobs on a capable machine, try -c 4, -c 8, or -c 16 and measure the result.

Want to skip CSV files? Send leads directly to LeadsDB:

docker run \
  -v gmaps-playwright-cache:/opt \
  -v "$PWD/example-queries.txt:/queries.txt:ro" \
  gosom/google-maps-scraper \
  -input /queries.txt \
  -depth 1 \
  -leadsdb-api-key "your-api-key" \
  -exit-on-inactivity 3m

Web UI

Start the web interface with a single command:

mkdir -p gmapsdata
docker run \
  -v "$PWD/gmapsdata:/gmapsdata" \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  gosom/google-maps-scraper \
  -data-folder /gmapsdata

Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Or download the binary release for your platform.

Note: Results take at least 3 minutes to appear (minimum configured runtime).

macOS Users: Docker command may not work. See MacOS Instructions.

REST API

When running the web server, a full REST API is available:

| Endpoint | Method | Description | |----------|--------|-------------| | /api/v1/jobs | POST | Create a new scraping job | | /api/v1/jobs | GET | List all jobs | | /api/v1/jobs/{id} | GET | Get job details | | /api/v1/jobs/{id} | DELETE | Delete a job | | /api/v1/jobs/{id}/download | GET | Download results as CSV |

Full OpenAPI 3.0.3 documentation available at http://localhost:8080/api/docs

SaaS Edition

Need a multi-user platform with API keys, admin UI, job queue, workers, and cloud provisioning? Use the optional self-hosted SaaS edition:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gosom/google-maps-scraper/main/PROVISION | sh

See SaaS documentation for deployment and operations details. There is also a 5-minute deployment walkthrough and a YouTube video walkthrough.

More examples are available in Recipes. If you need proxies for larger jobs, see Proxy Sponsors.

AI Agent Skill

The AI Agent Skill turns a natural-language lead request into a guided local scraping workflow. It is designed for nontechnical users as well as developers and keeps you in control of the search scope, proxy choice, and output.

If you have not installed it yet:

npx skills add gosom/google-maps-scraper

Then just ask your agent:

Find me all dentists in Berlin with their emails

The agent will:

1. Noninteractively check for the latest skill and Docker image. 2. Infer sensible search defaults and ask only for missing essentials. 3. Let you use your own proxy, continue without one, or choose from three randomly selected proxy sponsors. 4. Collect proxy credentials through a masked local terminal prompt instead of chat. 5. Run a small validation scrape before the full job. 6. Start and monitor the Docker crawl in the background. 7. Present the results with options to save, filter, analyze, or export.

Proxy sponsor recommendations are clearly disclosed and shown with equal placement. Any discount or offer is displayed only when it is configured in the skill's active sponsor registry. You can always use another provider or no proxy.

Requires Docker and Node.js on macOS, Linux, or Windows through WSL. See the skill definition for details.
