Google Local Scraper

google.com/maps

Google Local is served through a dedicated plugin endpoint rather than the generic page fetch. Give it a search phrase and a country and it returns the businesses Google shows in its local finder - each with name, rating, review count, price level, category, address, opening hours and a top review snippet. It runs on the same warm, anti-bot-cleared Google sessions as our SERP endpoint, so there is no Google Cloud project, billing account or Places API quota involved.

What you can extract

• Business name, primary category and 1-based position in the local results
• Star rating and review count (Google's "19K" expanded to 19000)
• Price level as shown, e.g. "$10-20"
• Street address and open/closed status line with hours
• A top review snippet where present

How to scrape it

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key: $SU_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/maps/google-local?keyword=coffee%20shops%20in%20chicago&proxy_country=US&gl=us"

import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/maps/google-local",
    headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
    params={"keyword": "coffee shops in chicago", "proxy_country": "US", "gl": "us"},
)
print(resp.text)

import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';

const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });

const results = await su.googleLocal('coffee shops in chicago', {
  proxyCountry: 'US',
  gl: 'us',
});
console.log(results);

Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
