Therefore, we require all users to supply their own API keys to access third party APIs.īy using our service with the Google Maps API, you must review and comply with the Google Maps API Terms of Service and Privacy Policies when generating your API Key.

We offer our service as a generic “platform as a service” that can be used with any data API. Specifically, our service can act as a Google Maps Scraper by using the Official Google Maps API to perform data extraction, without violating Google’s Terms of Service. In contrast, a more general Google Map data scraper, or Google Maps business scraper, will scrape the places and business details from Google Maps without being constrained to the “web” (hence the name “web scraper”). These are often found when searching for “web scraping Google Maps,” as they rely on the “web” to unofficially (and poorly) attempt to visually scrape the data. If you’re looking for how to scrape data from Google Maps, you’ll come across a lot of options with varying levels of “sketchiness.” Nearly all of the Google Map scraper services will attempt to illegally & automatically access the Google Maps website using your computer and IP address to try and interact with and pick out visual data from the website.
