Automatically scrape detailed business data from Google Maps by keyword and location to support lead generation, market research, and contact info collection.
Automatically scrape detailed business data from Google Maps by keyword and location to support lead generation, market research, and contact info collection.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill leverages BrowserAct's Google Maps API template to provide a one-stop business data collection service. It extracts structured details directly from Google Maps, including business names, categories, contact info, ratings, and more. Simply provide the search keywords and location bias to get clean, actionable data.
No Hallucinations, Stable & Precise Data Extraction: Preset workflows avoid AI-generated hallucinations. No CAPTCHA Issues: Built-in mechanisms bypass reCAPTCHA and other verification challenges. No IP Access Restrictions or Geo-fencing: Overcomes regional IP limits for global access. Faster Execution: Tasks run more quickly than pure AI-driven browser automation. High Cost-Effectiveness: Significantly reduces data acquisition costs compared to high-token AI solutions.
Before running, ensure the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable is set. If missing, do not proceed; request the user to provide it. Agent must inform the user: "Since you haven't configured the BrowserAct API Key, please go to the BrowserAct Console to get your Key and provide it in this chat."
Configure the following parameters based on user requirements: keywords (Search Keywords) Type: string Description: The query you would search for on Google Maps. Example: coffee shop, dental clinic, Turkish-style restaurant language (UI Language) Type: string Description: Defines the UI language and returned text language (e.g., en, zh-CN). Default: en country (Country Bias) Type: string Description: Specifies the country or region bias (e.g., us, gb, ca). Default: us
Execute the following script to get results in one command: # Example call python -u ./scripts/google_maps_api.py "keywords" "language" "country"
As this involves automated browser operations, it may take several minutes. The script will output timestamped status logs (e.g., [14:30:05] Task Status: running). Agent Note: Monitor the terminal output while waiting. New status logs mean the task is running; do not assume it is hung. Retry only if the status stops updating or the script exits without results.
Upon success, the script parses and prints the following fields from the API: Title Name: Official business name Category_primary: Main business category Address: Full street address Phone number: Contact phone number Website link: Official URL Rating: Average star rating reviews_count: Total number of reviews business_status: Operational status (e.g., operational)
If an error occurs (network issues or task failure), follow this logic: Check Output: If it contains "Invalid authorization", the API Key is invalid. Do not retry; ask the user for a correct Key. Otherwise, if it starts with Error: or returns no results, automatically retry once. Retry Limit: Only one automatic retry. If it fails again, report the specific error to the user.
Lead Generation: Find "SaaS companies" in "us" for sales outreach. Competitor Research: Extract data on "coffee shops" in a specific neighborhood. Market Analysis: Identify the density of "dental clinics" in a region. Contact Info Retrieval: Get phone numbers and websites for "real estate agencies". Local Service Discovery: Find "Turkish-style restaurants" with high ratings. Business Status Monitoring: Check if specific stores are "operational". Directory Building: Gather addresses and categories for a local business directory. Rating Benchmarking: Compare ratings of various "luxury hotels". Global Scouting: Research "tech startups" in different countries like "gb" or "au". Automated Data Sync: Periodically pull local business data into a CRM.
