Scraping, harvesting, parsing, or extracting is the process of getting all the information from some public site. It automates manual exporting of the data.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The scraping and extracting of public data is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that automated scraping of publicly accessible data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Although, you should seek the counsel of an attorney on your specific matter to comply with the laws in your jurisdiction.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      There are a few key points you should follow to increase the throughput of the API.<\/span><\/p>

      1. Make sure you are using the latest versions of the API endpoints. For example, prefer using Places API V2\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>instead of Places API V1<\/a>. In the case of using SDK the last version of API will be used by default (e.g. google_maps_search()<\/a>).<\/li>
      2. Use batching to send up to 25 queries per one request (e.g., query=text1&query=text2&query=text3). It allows multiple queries to be sent in one request and save on network latency time.<\/li>
      3. Run requests in parallel. Check out this example.<\/a><\/li>
      4. Use a\u00a0webhook<\/a> to fetch results once it\u2019s ready.<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        Some tasks can take time to extract the data. There are a few ways to handle timeouts.<\/p>

        1. Use retries. Expect that some number of scraping requests might return an error or timeout. Usually, trying one more time solves the issue.<\/li>
        2. Use async requests. A good practice is to send async requests and start checking the results after the estimated execution time. Check out this<\/a> Python implementation as an example.

          Sometimes Google adds other categories to your searches. For example, when you search for restaurants<\/strong>, you might see bars<\/strong>, coffee<\/strong> shops<\/strong>, or even hotels<\/strong>. This might lead to irrelevant data, especially when you are using minor categories like swimming pools.<\/strong>
          <\/span><\/p>

          Outscraper provides you with two tools that you can use to eliminate those categories.<\/p>

          1. \"\"

            The landmark category on Google Maps<\/p><\/div>

            Use the “exact match<\/span><\/span>” checkbox. The parameter specifies whether to return only the categories you selected or everything that Google shows. Make sure you are using the right categories by opening similar places on Google and checking the category.<\/p><\/li>

          2. \"\"

            Filtering the results<\/p><\/div>

            Filter results by applying Filters<\/a> to the subtypes column. Such filters can eliminate all the irrelevant data and return only what you need. To avoid empty results, make sure you are familiar with the values of the fields before using the Filters.

            There is a limitation in Google Maps that shows only up to 400-500 places per one query search. This may be a problem when there are more companies in one category. For example, for the query “restaurants, Brooklyn”<\/a>.<\/p>

            To overcome this, we suggest splitting the location into sub-locations. For example, by using postal codes:
            \u201drestaurants, Brooklyn 11203\u201d<\/a>,
            \u201drestaurants, Brooklyn 11211\u201d<\/a>,
            \u201drestaurants, Brooklyn 11215<\/span>\u201d<\/a>,<\/p>

            …<\/p>

            Or using queries with sub-categories:<\/p>

            “Asian restaurants, Brooklyn”<\/a>,<\/p>

            “Italian restaurants, Brooklyn”<\/a>,<\/p>
