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](https://claude.com/claude-code), Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any [Agent Skills-compatible tool](https://agentskills.io). 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:

```bash
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](#ai-agent-skill).

## Quick Start

### Command Line

```bash
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.

### Web UI

Start the web interface with a single command:

```bash
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](https://github.com/gosom/google-maps-scraper/releases) 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](MacOS%20instructions.md).

### 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:

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

See [SaaS documentation](docs/saas.md) for deployment and operations details.
There is also a [5-minute deployment walkthrough](https://gosom.dev/deploy-your-own-maps-scraping-api-in-5-minutes/) and a [YouTube video walkthrough](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STG9mZw_nac).

More examples are available in [Recipes](docs/recipes.md). If you need proxies for larger jobs, see [Proxy Sponsors](docs/proxies.md).

## 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:

```bash
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](skills/google-maps-scraper/references/proxy-sponsors.json). 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](skills/google-maps-scraper/SKILL.md) for details.

Notes:
  -grid-bbox requires a valid zoom level (1-21)
  -fast-mode cannot be used together with -grid-bbox
```

Run `./google-maps-scraper -h` for the complete list.

### Resuming Interrupted CLI Runs

Use `-resume` to continue a CLI file scrape after a crash or manual stop:

```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -resume \
  -input queries.txt \
  -results results.csv \
  -depth 10
```

Resume mode reads the existing CSV or JSONL results file, appends new results, and skips places that were already written. It also writes completed input queries to `<results>.resume.json`; future resume runs use that sidecar file to skip fully completed queries.

`-resume` is only supported with regular file output. It requires `-results` to be a file path and does not support `stdout`, `-writer`, or `-fast-mode`. Resume runs should use the same input and scrape options as the original run.

### Using Proxies

For larger scraping jobs, proxies help avoid rate limiting. Here's how to configure them:

```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -input queries.txt \
  -results results.csv \
  -proxies 'socks5://user:pass@host:port,http://host2:port2' \
  -depth 1 -c 2
```

**Supported protocols:** `socks5`, `socks5h`, `http`, `https`

Current proxy sponsors are listed in [Proxy Sponsors](docs/proxies.md). Using those links helps fund project maintenance.

### Email Extraction

Email extraction is **disabled by default**. When enabled, the scraper visits each business website to find email addresses.

```bash
./google-maps-scraper -input queries.txt -results results.csv -email
```

> **Note:** Email extraction increases processing time significantly.

### Fast Mode

Fast mode returns up to 21 results per query, ordered by distance. Useful for quick data collection with basic fields.

```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -input queries.txt \
  -results results.csv \
  -fast-mode \
  -zoom 15 \
  -radius 5000 \
  -geo '37.7749,-122.4194'
```

> **Warning:** Fast mode is in Beta. You may experience blocking.

### Grid Scraping (BBox)

Grid mode splits a bounding box into cells and runs one search per cell. This is useful when a single search does not return enough places.

`queries.txt` example:

```text
cafes in Peristeri, Greece
```

Command example:

```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -input queries.txt \
  -results peristeri-cafes.csv \
  -grid-bbox "38.0077,23.6719,38.0257,23.6947" \
  -grid-cell 0.5 \
  -zoom 16 \
  -depth 1 \
  -c 4
```

Notes:
- `-grid-bbox` guides where searches are launched from, but results are not strictly clipped to the box.
- For strict distance filtering, use `-fast-mode` with `-geo` + `-radius` (or post-filter by latitude/longitude).

---

### Browser Page Concurrency

With the default `-pages-per-browser 1`, each concurrent job (`-c`) effectively uses its own browser process with a single page tab. This can be inefficient because browser pages can be CPU- and memory-heavy, and each browser process adds overhead.

The `-pages-per-browser` flag lets you run multiple page tabs inside the same browser process, reducing overhead. Leave `-browser-pool-size` at `0` to derive the browser count from concurrency and pages per browser, or set it explicitly to cap the number of browser processes independently of concurrency.

**How the flags interact:**

| Flag | What it controls |
|------|------------------|
| `-c` | Total number of concurrent scrape jobs |
| `-browser-pool-size` | Number of browser processes to launch (default: `0`, derived from `-c` and `-pages-per-browser`) |
| `-pages-per-browser` | Number of page tabs per browser process (default: 1) |

When `-pages-per-browser` is greater than 1, the scraper opens multiple tabs within each browser process and routes jobs through a shared page pool. This can significantly increase job throughput on the same hardware.

**Example — 8 concurrent jobs across 2 browsers with 4 tabs each:**

```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -c 8 \
  -browser-pool-size 2 \
  -pages-per-browser 4 \
  -input queries.txt \
  -results results.csv \
  -depth 1
```

**Tuning guidance:**

- Start with `-c 4 -browser-pool-size 1 -pages-per-browser 4` for a 4:1 page-to-browser ratio.
- Monitor CPU and RAM usage with `htop` or `docker stats`; browser resource use varies significantly by workload, Chromium version, and page count.
- If memory is the bottleneck, keep `-browser-pool-size` low and reduce `-c` or `-pages-per-browser`.
- If CPU is the bottleneck, reduce the total number of active pages by lowering `-c` or `-pages-per-browser`.
- The product `-browser-pool-size × -pages-per-browser` should roughly equal or exceed `-c` to keep all jobs busy.
- Setting an explicit `-browser-pool-size` is most useful in containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) where you want predictable resource usage.

---

## Advanced Usage

### PostgreSQL Database Provider

For distributed scraping across multiple machines:

**1. Start PostgreSQL:**
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml up -d
```

**2. Seed the jobs:**
```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -dsn "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres" \
  -produce \
  -input example-queries.txt \
  -lang en
```

**3. Run scrapers (on multiple machines):**
```bash
./google-maps-scraper \
  -c 2 \
  -depth 1 \
  -dsn "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres"
```

### Kubernetes Deployment

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: google-maps-scraper
spec:
  replicas: 3  # Adjust based on needs
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: google-maps-scraper
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: google-maps-scraper
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: google-maps-scraper
        image: gosom/google-maps-scraper:latest
        args: ["-c", "1", "-depth", "10", "-dsn", "postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db"]
        resources:
          requests:
            memory: "512Mi"
            cpu: "500m"
```

> **Note:** The headless browser requires significant CPU/memory resources.

### Custom Writer Plugins

Create custom output handlers using Go plugins:

**1. Write the plugin** (see `examples/plugins/example_writer.go`)

**2. Build:**
```bash
go build -buildmode=plugin -tags=plugin -o myplugin.so myplugin.go
```

**3. Run:**
```bash
./google-maps-scraper -writer ~/plugins:MyWriter -input queries.txt
```

---

## Performance

**Expected throughput:** ~120 places/minute (with `-c 8 -depth 1`)

| Keywords | Results/Keyword | Total Jobs | Estimated Time |
|----------|-----------------|------------|----------------|
| 100 | 16 | 1,600 | ~13 minutes |
| 1,000 | 16 | 16,000 | ~2.5 hours |
| 10,000 | 16 | 160,000 | ~22 hours |

For large-scale scraping, use the PostgreSQL provider with Kubernetes.

### Telemetry
