💯 How many results can you scrape with Google Search Scraper?

Due to Google's technical limitations, Google Maps Scraper can return 100 results for a single keyword.

Input params

• keyword 🔎 (required): The Google Search keyword to search. You can enter up to 700 characters in the keyword field. (Any encoded characters (e.g., %##) will be decoded, with the + symbol converted to a space. To use the % symbol in your keyword, represent it as %25. Similarly, if you need to include a + symbol, use %2B in place of it)

• coordinates📍 (required, example: 40.6910188,-73.9780279): coordinates of the map where the search is conducted (Read more below).

• zoom 🔭 (optional, min: 3, max: 21, default value: 17): the size of the map where the search is conducted (Read more below).

How to define input coordinates and zoom for Google Maps Scraper

When you try to search for a business on Google Maps, it shows results within a visible area. This area can be considered as a circle having a centre with specific coordinates (coordinates input parameter) and a radius (zoom input parameter).

To get all business data within a specific radius, you have to pass coordinates and zoom.

You can find them in the URL if you search for a keyword in Maps:

Where to get coordinates?

Coordinates are the pair of longitude and latitude of the point on the map. To conduct the search, simply open https://maps.google.com find the place where you want to conduct it, and right-click on that point on the map.

If you have coordinates of the cities or districts you can use them also.

How do I find the proper zoom?

Zoom is a Google Maps concept.

Consider zoom as the area of the search. The bigger the zoom, the smaller the area for the search.

Possible values from the zoom are between 3 and 21, where 3 is a worldwide search and 21 is the smallest possible plot for a search on Google Maps.

Each zoom level has an approximate radius of the search area.

Pay attention: small zoom will give you a very broad worldwide search and big zoom can not find a business on the map.

What data will I get using Google Maps

You will get the list of the businesses containing the following info:

• Title
• Address
• Image
• Categories
• Home website
• Phone number
• Rating
• Opening hours
• Price level
• Coordinates
