Google Maps Scraper

A self-contained tool for scraping business listings from Google Maps. Give it a search query (e.g., "pizza restaurant") and a location (zip code, city, or coordinates), and it returns structured data for every matching business.

What You Need Before Starting

1. Node.js 18+ and npm installed
2. A RapidAPI account (free tier available) with a subscription to the Maps Data API:
   • Sign up at https://rapidapi.com
   • Subscribe to the API: https://rapidapi.com/alexanderxbx/api/maps-data
   • Copy your RapidAPI key from the dashboard (it's in the X-RapidAPI-Key header on any endpoint page)

That's it. No Google Cloud account, no OAuth, no billing setup beyond RapidAPI.
