CMO
What an awesome tool for getting marketing lead prospects. It's much faster than the estimates they give when doing a scrape. (It's always good to under-promise & over-deliver to your customers)...
Data analyst and front-end designer
This service has been extremely helpful for me. Apart from their super fast API for various services, their amazing support is something that would make you go back to them. Dana from Outscraper team had helped me tirelessly for 3 days when I got into an issue and the dev team even made a spot update in their SDK package to suit my requirements. Highly recommended!
COO of Mondofora
I wish I had found it sooner. I've been manually collecting data from Google Maps for the past 15 months!
The first search produced more usable data in 20 minutes than my 15 months did altogether.

What is Google Places scraping?
Google Maps Places scraping, harvesting, or extracting is a process of getting places from the Google website. It extends the official Google Places API and allows you to get real-time access to any number of places.
What is the Google places API?
The Google Places API is a service provided by Google that allows developers to access and retrieve detailed information about places from the Google Places database.

The Outscraper API Docs explains in detail how to get the list of places. You can review the Outscraper API Documentation for all parameters and test the Outscraper Google Places API for free now.
Is this the same as the official Google Places API?
No, Outscraper is a scraping service that extracts data from Google Maps results, while the official Google Places API is Google’s own supported API. Outscraper gives access to a broader set of fields and outputs formatted results without requiring you to manage Google’s API quotas or billing, but it is a different implementation and not an official Google endpoint.
What’s the difference between the API scraper and the no-code scraper?
API scraper is a programmatic access for developers make HTTP requests, integrate into apps, scale automated jobs, and get JSON responses. No-code scraper is a web UI for non-developers; point-and-click workflows, bulk uploads, and one-off exports without writing code. It’s great for quick lookups, small projects, or users who want a visual flow; the API is for automation, integration, and larger workflows.
What inputs can I use (keywords, categories, coordinates, Maps URLs)?
You can use the common inputs people expect: search keywords, place categories, coordinates (lat/lng with radius), Google Maps URLs, and location names (city, neighborhood). That lets you run targeted searches, radius queries, or scrape a given Maps link directly.
How are credits calculated?
Credits are consumed based on the type of request and the amount of data returned. Exact credit rates depend on your plan and the specific endpoint/fields you request.
Do you support batching and async jobs?
Yes. The API supports batch jobs and asynchronous (background) scraping for large or long-running tasks: submit a job, poll or receive a callback when it finishes, and then download results. This is the recommended approach for large-scale scraping to avoid timeouts and to manage throughput.
Do you provide deduping?
Yes. Built-in deduplication is available to help eliminate duplicate place records that can occur from overlapping searches (same place returned from multiple queries). You can typically enable deduplication in request options or in the post-processing/export phase.
Can I export to CSV or integrate with Zapier/webhooks?
Yes,You can export results to CSV (and usually other formats like Excel or JSON). For automation, the platform supports webhooks and integrations (Zapier or similar) so you can push results to spreadsheets, databases, CRMs, or downstream workflows automatically.
