Google Maps scraper API
Billed per request, not per place: one search returns about 20 places for 1 credit.
Endpoints
GET with an x-api-key header. Paths and JSON match ScrapeCreators where they offer the same endpoint.
| Endpoint | Returns | Credits |
|---|---|---|
/v1/google-maps/search | Places: name, address, coordinates, rating, phone, website, hours (~20 per call) | 1 |
/v1/google-maps/place | Place details + rating histogram | 1 |
/v1/google-maps/reviews | Top reviews (~5, guest view) + totals | 1 |
/v1/google-maps/photos | Photo URLs | 1 |
/v1/google/news | Google News results (up to 100) | 1 |
/v1/google/search | Google organic results | 5 |

From $0.95 down to $0.50 per 1,000 credits. Failed requests and opt-in cache hits cost 0; credits never expire. Median response across our ScrapeCreators-comparable endpoints: 1.4 s vs 3.9 s (measured November 2026).
Google shows logged-out visitors a limited review set, so reviews are the top ~5 plus totals, not a full export. Need every review? See the Outscraper comparison.
