Apple Maps Scraper

Apple Maps Scraper: places with phone, website, hours and ratings from any city or point

Give it a search term and a city, or paste Apple Maps links, and each place comes back as a row: name, full address, coordinates, category, phone, website, opening hours, star rating, review count, price level, amenities and photos. No Apple Developer account, no key, nothing to install.

The awkward part first. One Apple Maps search returns at most 55 places, and only 25 once the map is down to the size of a city. This run gets past that by splitting your area into squares, searching each one and dropping the duplicates, which is why a coffee shop search over San Francisco can return hundreds. Where it stops depends on how many places Apple actually holds for that category in that area.

🏷️ What Apple Maps Scraper does

Set a search term and an area. The area can be a name like San Francisco, CA, Texas or United States, which Apple resolves itself, or an exact latitude and longitude with a radius in kilometres around it. A term like dentist is searched across the whole area. List more towns under Several locations to search each of them.

A term that names one business with its town and ZIP, like Sightglass Coffee San Francisco CA 94103, is a lookup. Apple returns that place wherever the map is, so it takes one search instead of a grid. Location still has to be set, and United States works.

Or paste links. A place link is looked up on its own. A search link with a query and a center on it is re-run as a search over that spot.

One thing to check on every run. If Apple cannot match the place name you typed, it answers with the nearest real place it does know, and the run scrapes there. You get a warning in the log, but the rows come from the wrong town. Compare city on the rows against what you asked for, or use latitude and longitude when precision matters.

Over a town the grid widens, 2x2, then 3x3 and up, until your Maximum places or a level that finds little new. A state or country is cut into squares about 200 km across, and busy squares get searched again in quarters. Duplicates and places outside your area are never billed.

🧾 Reading the output

Place rows carry no charged field. The flag is only on the sample and diagnostic rows, to mark them as not real results.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open Apple Maps Scraper and click Try for free. 2. Type what you want into Search terms and where into Location. 3. For an exact spot, fill Latitude, Longitude and Search radius (km) instead. 4. Set Maximum places. Start around 25 to see what the rows look like. 5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the Apify API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.40 per 1,000 places. Flat on every Apify plan, with no volume tiers.

One billed row per place delivered. Duplicates found in more than one grid square are dropped before billing, the sample row is not billed, and diagnostic rows are not billed.

💡 What people use it for

• Prospect lists: name, address, phone, website, category and hours are the columns people build

them from.

• Mapping how dense a category is across a city, using the coordinates on every row.
• Checking whether your own listings carry the right hours, phone and website on Apple's map.
• Comparing a shortlist of locations on rating, review count and price level in one pass.

🚧 What it does not do

• No full reviews. You get the rating, the count, and up to three snippets. It is not a

review export.

• No email addresses. Apple Maps does not carry them, and nothing here invents one.
• Ratings and price levels come from Apple's partners. Where Apple has none, those fields are

null. That is Apple's coverage, not a miss.

• A location Apple cannot match becomes the nearest one it can, and the run scrapes there.

Check city on your rows.

• You can finish with fewer places than you asked for. The run's own counter also takes in

region-level hits that never reach your dataset, so it can stop early.

• No directions, transit, traffic, Look Around or satellite imagery.
• A rare term may not reach every corner of a country. Once the squares the run tries come back

nearly empty, it only carries on where places turned up.

• A place Apple files under the next state or country is left out, even one right on the border.
• United States means the lower 48, as Apple draws it. Add Alaska and Hawaii under

Several locations if you need them.

• A very long list can run out of time. The run stops just before its limit, keeps what it found

and lists the rest in a TIME_LIMIT row.

🧭 Which maps scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need an Apple Developer account? No. Apple's own MapKit and Maps Server APIs want a paid account and a signed token. This reads the public Apple Maps site and hands you JSON or CSV.

How do I cover a whole city, state or country? Set Location to it and raise Maximum places. With a small maximum, a state or country run stops after its first squares: the middle, then a spread across the area.

Can I look up one specific business? Yes. Type its name, town and ZIP as a search term, like Sightglass Coffee San Francisco CA 94103, or paste its Apple Maps share link into Apple Maps URLs.

Does it work outside the United States? Yes. Set countryCode and language to match, for example DE and de-DE.

Is this legal? These are public business listings. Apify's write-up on scraping and the law is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the search term and location you used and the run ID. The errorCode on the diagnostic row usually names the problem on its own.
