Google Maps Contributor Reviews API
Our Google Maps Contributor Reviews API allows you to scrape all the reviews from a Google Maps user. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=google_maps_contributor_reviews. A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google_maps_contributor_reviews utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Search Query
contributor_id
Required
Parameter defines the Google Maps Contributor ID. It's a series of digits which can be found in the contributor reviews URL.
For example, the contributor ID for the URL https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110382514725174877672/reviews is 110382514725174877672.
It can also be found by using our Google Maps Place Results API and Google Maps Reviews API.
Localization
gl
Optional
Parameter defines the country to use for the Google Maps Contributor Reviews search. It's a two-letter country code. (e.g., us for the United States, uk for United Kingdom, or fr for France). Head to the Google countries page for a full list of supported Google countries.
hl
Optional
Parameter defines the language to use for the Google Maps Contributor Reviews search. It's a two-letter language code, for example, en for English (default), es for Spanish, or fr for French). Head to the Google languages page for a full list of supported Google languages.
Serpapi Parameters
engine
Required
Set parameter to google_maps_contributor_reviews to use the Google Maps Contributor Reviews API engine.
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Google Maps Contributor Reviews results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
zero_trace
Optional
Enterprise only. Parameter enables ZeroTrace mode. It can be set to false (default) or true. Enable this mode to skip storing search parameters, search files, and search metadata on our servers. This may make debugging more difficult.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for contributor information, and reviews results.
A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, the error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.
HTML Results
This API does not have html response, just a text. search_metadata.prettify_html_file contains prettified version of result. It is displayed in playground.
