Google Maps Scraper

This is simple scraper that uses Playwright to extract data from Google Maps.

This example is made for educational purposese.

This scrapit is easy to customize.

check both Excel & CSV files (google_maps_data) to see how final data will look like.

To Install:

• (Optional: create & activate a virtual environment) virtualenv venv, then source venv/bin/activate

• pip install -r requirements.txt

• playwright install chromium

to Run:

A single search:

• python3 main.py -s=<what & where to search for> -t=<how many>

Multiple searches at once

1. Add searches in input.txt, each search should be in a new line as shown in the example (check input.txt)
2. Then run: python3 main.py
3. If you pass -t=<how many> it will be applied to all the searches.

Tips:

If you want to search more than the limited 120 results, detail you search more and as granular as you need it to be in the input.txt, for example:

• Instead of using:

United states dentist

• Use:

Unites States Boston dentist

Unites States New York dentist

Unites States Texas dentist

And so on...
