Google Maps API

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.

  -H "x-api-key: $SIGNALSHELF_API_KEY"

Price & speed

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.
