This project is a Python-based web scraper that uses a headless browser to extract information about places from Google Maps.
With the Google Maps Scraper, you can obtain detailed data about businesses and specific places on Google Maps, such as:
- Place ID
- Place name
- Category
- Full address
- Phone number
- Associated domain and URL
- Coordinates (latitude and longitude)
- Average star rating
- Number of reviews
To run this scraper, you'll need the following Python packages:
requests_html
- for making HTML requests and rendering dynamic contenturllib
- for URL handlingjson
- for managing structured data in JSON format
Here's a basic usage example:
from mapScraper import placesCrawlerV2
# Define your query
query = "Gym in Seville Spain"
# Run the search
results = placesCrawlerV2.search(query)
# Display the results
print(results)
The scraper returns a list in JSON format with detailed information about the found places. Here’s a sample output:
