Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. The Apple Maps API returns structured JSON from public Apple Maps data through a Scrappa API key.

Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. Search, place and reviews cost 1 credit each. Failed requests, unknown places and empty answers are never charged.

Call the search endpoint. The id field of each result is the muid. Send it to the place and reviews endpoints.

Apple Maps ranks places by location. Without a center the result would follow the server location, so the center is required.

Apple Maps has no review text of its own. It shows up to 3 snippets that Yelp shares, so only page 1 exists. The ratings of Apple and Yelp are in the rating summary.
