## Documentation

### 📖 Introduction

This skill utilizes the BrowserAct Google Maps Search API template to provide a one-stop business data collection service. It extracts structured business results directly from Google Maps search lists. Simply provide search keywords, language, and country filters to get clean, usable business data.

### ✨ Features

No Hallucinations, Ensuring Stable and Accurate Data Extraction: Preset workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations.
No Human-Machine Verification Issues: Built-in bypass mechanisms eliminate the need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
No IP Access Restrictions or Geofencing: Breaks through regional IP limits to ensure stable global access.
Agile Execution Speed: Task execution is faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
High Cost-Effectiveness: Significantly reduces data acquisition costs compared to token-intensive AI solutions.

### 🔑 API Key Guidance Process

Before running, check the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable. If not set, do not take further action; instead, ask and wait for user cooperation to provide it.
The Agent must inform the user:

"Since you haven't configured your BrowserAct API Key, please go to the BrowserAct Console to get your Key and provide it to me in this chat."

### 🛠️ Input Parameters Detail

When calling the script, the Agent should flexibly configure the following parameters based on user needs:

KeyWords

Type: string
Description: The content you want to search on Google Maps. Can be business names, categories, or specific keywords.
Example: coffee shop, dental clinic, coworking space



language

Type: string
Description: Sets the UI language and the language of returned text fields.
Common Values: en, de, fr, it, es, ja, zh-CN, zh-TW
Default: en



country

Type: string
Description: Sets the country or region bias for search results.
Example: us, gb, ca, au, de, fr, jp
Default: us



max_dates

Type: number
Description: The maximum number of places to extract from the search results list.
Default: 100

### 🚀 Invocation Method (Recommended)

The Agent should execute the following independent script to achieve "one line command for results":

# Example call
python -u ./.cursor/skills/google-maps-search-api-skill/scripts/google_maps_search_api.py "search keywords" "language" "country" count

### ⏳ Execution Status Monitoring

Since this task involves automated browser operations, it may take a long time (several minutes). The script outputs timestamped status logs during execution (e.g., [14:30:05] Task Status: running).
Agent Notes:

Keep an eye on the terminal output while waiting for results.
As long as the terminal is printing new status logs, the task is running normally; do not misjudge it as a deadlock or unresponsiveness.
If the status remains unchanged for a long time or the script stops outputting without returning results, consider triggering a retry mechanism.

### 📊 Output Data Description

After successful execution, the script parses and prints results directly from the API response. Fields include:

name: Business name
full address: Full address
rating: Star rating
review count: Number of reviews
price range: Price level
cuisine type: Business category
amenity tags: Features like Wi-Fi
review snippet: Short review text
service options: Service indicators (e.g., "Order online")

### ⚠️ Error Handling & Retry Mechanism

If an error occurs during execution, the Agent should follow this logic:

Check Output Content:

If the output contains "Invalid authorization", the API Key is invalid or expired. Do not retry; guide the user to check and provide the correct API Key.
If the output does not contain "Invalid authorization" but the task fails (e.g., output starts with Error: or returns empty results), the Agent should automatically attempt to re-execute once.



Retry Limit:

Automatic retry is limited to one time. If the second attempt still fails, stop retrying and report the specific error message to the user.

### 🌟 Typical Use Cases

Local Business Discovery: Find all "Italian restaurants" in Manhattan.
Sales Lead Generation: Extract a list of "real estate agencies" in London for prospecting.
Competitor Mapping: Locate all "Starbucks" branches in a specific city to map competition.
Market Research: Analyze "boutique hotels" in Paris, including their ratings and price ranges.
Contact Collection: Gather addresses and names of "dental clinics" in Sydney.
Service Search: Find "24-hour pharmacies" or "emergency plumbers" in a certain area.
Neighborhood Monitoring: Track new "gyms" or "yoga studios" opening in a community.
Structured Data Export: Export structured data of "car dealerships" for CRM integration.
Sentiment Analysis Prep: Get review snippets and ratings for "popular tourist attractions".
Global Search Localization: Use different language and country settings to research "tech hubs" globally.
