Hey! I’ve been in the same boat trying to scrape address data from Google Maps - business. I used Octoparse for a similar project, and it worked pretty well for me. It’s got a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super handy.
As for legality, it’s a gray area. Google’s terms of service technically prohibit scraping, but as long as you’re not overloading their servers or using the data for shady purposes, you’re *probably* fine. Just be cautious and don’t overdo it.
If you’re looking for free options, check out ParseHub. It’s not as powerful as Octoparse, but it’s decent for smaller projects.
