Scrape address and phone numbers data from Google Maps

Retrieving data for a handful of entities is very straightforward. However, if you have to do hundreds, thousands or even more, it becomes a challenge that must be addressed. In this article, I will show how you can retrieve hundreds of business addresses and phone data in minutes using SerpApi’s Google Maps API.

We've done the tedious task to scrape Google Maps data, making it easier for you to access by simply calling an API. Most importantly, it works at scale. If you'd like an overview of Google Maps, feel free to check out another article of ours - Google Maps Scraper.

Code - Javascript

It is very simple to integrate with SerpApi. Before writing any code, head over to SerpApi and get your API key. After registering for a new account, you will receive 100 free searches every month.

Install SerpApi package (integration guide):

npm install serpapi

Make Request to SerpApi's Google Maps API:

The package provides a helper method to interact with our API. For our current task, we will use google_maps engine and the q (search queries) will be the name of each museum. Check the documentation for a full list of parameters and examples.

const json = await getJson({
  api_key: "<Replace with your API KEY>",
  engine: "google_maps",
  q: museum,
  hl: "en",
  type: "search",
})

Full code:

Wrap the request in a loop to get the address and phone data for each museum.

const museums = [
    "The Louvre - Paris, France",
    "The British Museum - London, UK",
    "The Metropolitan Museum of Art - New York, USA",
    ...
    "The Istanbul Modern - Istanbul, Turkey",
    "The Neues Museum - Berlin, Germany",
    "The National Gallery of Canada - Ottawa, Canada"
]

const { getJson } = require("serpapi")

const getAddressAndPhone = async () => {
  for (const museum of museums) {
    const json = await getJson({
      api_key: "<Replace with your API KEY>",
      engine: "google_maps",
      q: museum,
      hl: "en",
      type: "search",
    })

    console.log(`${museum}: ${json?.place_results?.address} (${json?.place_results?.phone})`)
  }
}

getAddressAndPhone()

Output:

The Louvre - Paris, France: 75001 Paris, France (+33 1 40 20 53 17)
The British Museum - London, UK: Great Russell St, London WC1B 3DG, United Kingdom (+44 20 7323 8299)
The Metropolitan Museum of Art - New York, USA: 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028 ((212) 535-7710)
...

No Code - Google Sheets

We provide a convenient way to use our API inside Google Sheets. In addition, one of our team members created a No Code tool to help you collect data and export to excel from Search Engines without writing a single line of code. If you’re interested, feel free to check it out.

Similar to the code version, we will retrieve the address and phone data based on the given place name. Below are the final results you will get.

First of all, create a new blank Google sheet. At the top menu, find Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons. This is to install SerpApi script, enabling Google Sheets to use the formula to retrieve data from our API.

Type in "SerpApi" in the search box and you should see our script.

Click on the search results and you will find our script. Proceed to install the script.

After you have successfully installed, you should see a new row has been added to Extensions. Click on it to setup your API key (you only have to do once).

Now, let's fill in the data!

The first column is plain text, for our example, it is the name of the museum.

e.g. The Louvre - Paris, France

The second column is the address. Obviously, we will fill this in using SerpApi's Google Maps API. The formula to achieve this is as follow:

=SERPAPI_RESULT("engine=google_maps&q=" & ENCODEURL(A2) & "&hl=en&type=search", "place_results.address")

Replace A2 with the appropriate column (museum name)

The phone column is very similar to address, we only have to change the data we access, place_results.address to place_results.phone.

=SERPAPI_RESULT("engine=google_maps&q=" & ENCODEURL(A2) & "&hl=en&type=search", "place_results.phone")

Replicate the formula for all the museums and see the data filling in. Here is the full list of 100 museums if you want to try it out:
