Google Maps Scraper enables effortless public data extraction with geographic references from Google Maps and Google Places. This short guide will show you the process of scraping Google Maps using Oxylabs' Scraper API.
You can retrieve Google Maps data by providing the URL to our service. Our API will return the results in JSON format.
The below code examples demonstrate how you can get Google Maps results. First, you need to send the instructions to our service using the Push-Pull method:
import requests
from pprint import pprint
# Structure payload.
payload = {
'source': 'google',
'url': 'https://www.google.com/maps/search/restaurants/@40.7660158,-73.9833944,14z/data=!4m5!2m4!5m2!1e0!4e9!6e5?entry=ttu',
'geo_location': 'New York,New York,United States',
'render': 'html'
}
# Get response.
response = requests.request(
'POST',
'https://data.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),
json=payload
)
# This will return a response with job status and results url.
pprint(response.json())Once the job is done, you can retrieve the results by making another request and including the job ID from the previous response, for instance:
import requests
# Get response.
response = requests.request(
'GET',
'http://data.oxylabs.io/v1/queries/{job_id}/results',
auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD')
)
# This will return the JSON response with results.
print(response.json())The above code snippet will retrieve the results in JSON format:
{
"results": [
{
"content": "<!doctype html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>...</script></body>\n</html>\n",
"created_at": "2023-07-25 10:01:01",
"job_id": "7089545068712824833",
"page": 1,
