Google Maps Reviews API
Our Google Maps Reviews API allows you to scrape reviews from Google Maps. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=google_maps_reviews.
A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google_maps_reviews utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Search Query
data_id
Optional
Parameter defines the Google Maps data ID. Find the data ID by using our Google Maps API.
Either data_id or place_id should be set.
Localization
hl
Optional
Parameter defines the language to use for the Google Maps 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.
Advanced Google Maps Reviews Parameters
place_id
Optional
Parameter defines the unique reference to a place on a Google Map. Place IDs are available for most locations, including businesses, landmarks, parks, and intersections. You can find the place_id using our Google Maps API.
You can read more about Place IDs here.
Either data_id or place_id should be set.
Serpapi Parameters
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Google Maps 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.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for place information, topics, 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.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, unless I'm absolutely exhausted, but it was chill just crossing it off my list. I don't know if it is worth the drive from out of town tho. Maybe make it a part of your day if you're exploring Portland instead because it definitely is hard to find parking. I parked near a hydrant, thank goodness I didn't get a ticket, just for this opportunity. I purchased the decaf ice latte based upon the recommendation of the worker there.\n\nChill atmosphere!\n\nVegetarian options: Oat milk.\n\nParking: Hard to find parking.
