Frequently asked questions
What Google Maps data does Scrappa return?
The Google Maps API supports place search, advanced search, business details, reviews, photos, directions, and autocomplete with structured fields such as name, address, rating, website, phone, coordinates, hours, and categories.
Is this an alternative to Google Maps Platform APIs?
It can be used as an alternative for extraction workflows that need Google Maps listing data, reviews, photos, and directions without managing Google Cloud billing for those use cases.
Can I combine Google Maps search and reviews?
Yes. You can find businesses with the search endpoints, enrich them with business details, and then fetch reviews or photos using the returned identifiers.
Do I need to parse Google Maps pages myself?
No. Scrappa handles extraction and returns normalized JSON so your app can focus on local business data workflows instead of browser automation.
