The-Gomaps-Python-Package

Gomaps! A Google Maps web scraper for querying places on Google Maps and scraping the metadata of that search (No API key needed). This package also does geocoding, reverse geocoding and address validation! It's essentially a lite version of the Google Maps Places API. Results of a query include the following:

• Place Name
• Place Google Maps URL
• Place Address
• Place Coordinates (lattitude/longitude)
• Place Website
• Place Phone Number
• Place Star Rating
• Place Open Hours
• Place Popular Times

That's right! This can also scrape Google Maps Popular Times data! For more information about Google's popular times data, refer to this support post: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6263531?hl=en.
