Google Maps Scraping in Pure PHP
Good knowledge of coding, browser emulation, proxies, and reCAPTCHA solver is required for scraping Google Maps. Additionally, it would help if you were prepared to deal with any modifications Google may make to its dynamic content.
Initially, you will need to emulate the behavior of a real user via browser emulation. Therefore, using Selenium or other browser emulators could be an efficient option.
You must use proxies if you wish to protect your office/home IP address, thus, you can request websites from the IPs of other users.
Even with this array of tools, Google may present you with reCAPTCHA and bind it to some of your IPs if you have sufficient usage. You can add a reCAPTCHA solver if you do not want to alter IPs whenever you encounter a reCAPTCHA.
Besides this, be prepared for the possibility that Google may alter its content. It can be achieved by conducting daily tests.
Even though implementing the scraper may take some time, it can be built and maintained. To learn how to scrape Google Maps using Python and Selenium, visit this step-by-step tutorial: How to Scrape Google Maps with Python and Selenium.
Google Maps Scraping With Outscraper PHP Package
A more robust way of scraping Google Maps will be using the Outscraper PHP library. It provides convenient access to the Outscraper API from applications written in the PHP language which allows you to use Outscraper’s services from your code.
You can start by installing the package and creating an account at आउटस्क्रैपर.
composer require outscraper/outscraper
To use the bindings, use Composer’s autoload:
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
Manual Installation
If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the latest release. Then, to use the bindings, include the init.php file:
require_once('/path/to/outscraper-php/init.php');
Initialization
Initialize the Outscraper client by importing the class and adding your secret API key. You can generate the API key on प्रोफाइल पेज.
$client = new OutscraperClient("SECRET_API_KEY");
Usage Examples
Here are examples of how you can scrape places from Google Maps by using search queries:
# Search for businesses in specific locations:
$results = $client->google_maps_search_v2(['restaurants brooklyn usa'], limit: 20, language: 'en', region: 'us');
# Scrap Places by Two Queries
$results = $client->google_maps_search_v2(
['restaurants brooklyn usa', 'bars brooklyn usa'],
limit: 50, # limit of palces per each query
language: 'en',
region: 'US',
);
# Iterate over the results
foreach ($results as &$query_places) {
foreach ($query_places as &$place) {
print($place['query']);
print($place['name']);
print($place['phone']);
print($place['site']);
}
};
It’s also possible to extract the data by using Place Id:
# Get data of the specific place by id
$results = $client.google_maps_search_v2(['ChIJrc9T9fpYwokRdvjYRHT8nI4'], language: 'en');
# Scrap Places by Place Ids
$results = $client->google_maps_search_v2(
["ChIJ8ccnM7dbwokRy-pTMsdgvS4", "ChIJN5X_gWdZwokRck9rk2guJ1M", "ChIJxWLy8DlawokR1jvfXUPSTUE"],
limit: 1, # limit of palces per each query
);
# Iterate over the results
foreach ($results as &$query_places) {
foreach ($query_places as &$place) {
print($place['query']);
print($place['place_id']);
}
};
