Google Maps
Local business and place data
Public place records, categories, ratings and opening details by geography.
What we can collect
What data can be collected from Google Maps?
The exact schema follows your brief, but a typical Google Mapsdataset can include the following record groups when they are publicly exposed and permitted for the intended use.
- Businesses by query and map area
- Address, coordinates and category
- Opening hours, rating and review totals
- Website, phone and service attributes where published
Practical field breakdown
place_idThe source identifier used to match this record across repeat collections.nameThe public-facing name exactly as observed at collection time.categoryThe published classification used for filtering, grouping and market comparisons.addressThe geographic context published for the record or used to produce the result.coordinatesThe geographic context published for the record or used to produce the result.phoneThe published phone value, normalised into the schema agreed for your project.websiteThe published Google Maps location or destination associated with the record.opening_hoursThe published opening hours value, normalised into the schema agreed for your project.ratingA platform-published reputation or engagement signal, stored with the observation date.review_countA platform-published reputation or engagement signal, stored with the observation date.
Fields are representative rather than fixed. We show null when a value is not published; we do not quietly guess missing prices, identifiers, availability or review data.
What stands in the way
Actively defends against automated access. Feasibility is confirmed per project before anything is promised.
- Map-search pagination and ranking
- Strong automated-access controls
- Locale-sensitive result sets
Token estimate
~7tokens per record
An estimate for planning, not a quote. The final rate follows the real volume and the state of the source when we scope it.

Delivery options
Delivered into your workflow
These are delivery formats we can arrange for a scoped project, not claims of a pre-authorised integration with Google Maps.
Managed API
A documented endpoint shaped around the schema and query pattern agreed for your project.
Scheduled files
CSV, JSON or JSONL delivered on an agreed cadence for analysis or batch import.
Cloud or database delivery
A managed drop into your storage or database when direct delivery is the cleaner fit.
Worth knowing up front
Map results are ranked samples, not a complete registry of every business. We define geographic coverage and deduplication rules before collection begins.
We work within what each source permits and within applicable law. Where a source cannot be collected properly, we say so at feasibility stage rather than after you have paid.
Questions before you scope it
Google Maps data FAQ
Can Scrapebuddy collect fields not shown on this page?
Usually, if Google Maps publishes them and the intended use is permitted. Send the fields and representative URLs; feasibility is checked against the real surface before anything is promised.
How frequently can Google Maps data be refreshed?
Cadence is agreed around how quickly the values change and the cost of each query. Every delivery includes observation timestamps so snapshots and changes remain distinguishable.
What happens when the source changes?
Managed projects are monitored and repaired as source behaviour changes. A layout or request change is handled as maintenance rather than handed back as a broken script.
Can the data be used in a customer-facing product?
That depends on the source, fields, jurisdiction and intended use. We confirm collection feasibility, but you remain responsible for rights to store, publish or redistribute third-party data.
