Hey everyone!
So, I’m trying to figure out the best tools and methods for scraping address data from Google Maps - business. I’ve got a project where I need to pull a bunch of business addresses, but I’m kinda stuck on what tools to use.
I’ve heard about stuff like Octoparse and Scrapy, but idk if they’re the best for scraping address data from Google Maps - business specifically. Anyone got experience with this?
Also, is it even legal? I don’t wanna get into trouble lol.
Any tips or tools you’d recommend? Free options would be awesome, but I’m open to paid ones if they’re worth it.
Thanks in advance! 🙌
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.
Yo! Scraping address data from Google Maps - business can be tricky, but I’ve had success with Scrapy. It’s a bit more technical, but it’s super flexible and free. You’ll need to write some Python code, though, so if you’re not into coding, it might not be the best fit.
Also, yeah, legality is a concern. Google doesn’t like scraping, but if you’re not scraping at scale or selling the data, you’re likely okay. Just don’t get caught lol.
If you’re looking for something easier, try OutWit Hub. It’s not free, but it’s user-friendly and great for scraping address data from Google Maps - business.
Hey there! I’ve been scraping address data from Google Maps - business for a while now, and I’d recommend using Apify. It’s a paid tool, but it’s super reliable and handles Google Maps scraping really well. They even have pre-built scrapers for Google Maps, so you don’t have to start from scratch.
As for legality, it’s a bit of a gray zone. Google’s terms say no scraping, but if you’re not scraping massive amounts or using the data commercially, you’re probably fine. Just don’t abuse it.
If you’re on a budget, try Web Scraper (the browser extension). It’s free and works well for smaller projects.
Hey! I’ve used Octoparse for scraping address data from Google Maps - business, and it’s been great. It’s got a visual interface, so you don’t need to code, which is a huge plus.
Legality-wise, yeah, Google doesn’t allow scraping, but as long as you’re not scraping at scale or doing anything shady, you’re probably okay. Just don’t overdo it.
If you’re looking for free tools, try DataMiner. It’s a browser extension and works pretty well for scraping address data from Google Maps - business.
Hey! I’ve been using Scrapy for scraping address data from Google Maps - business, and it’s been a lifesaver. It’s free and super powerful, but you’ll need to know some Python.
As for legality, yeah, Google doesn’t like scraping, but if you’re not scraping a ton of data or using it for commercial purposes, you’re probably fine. Just be careful.
If you’re not into coding, try Octoparse. It’s paid, but it’s super user-friendly and great for scraping address data from Google Maps - business.

Wow, thanks so much, everyone! This is super helpful. I think I’m gonna give Octoparse a try first since a few of you recommended it, and it sounds like it’s beginner-friendly.
Quick follow-up though: for those who’ve used Octoparse, how long did it take you to get the hang of it? I’m not super tech-savvy, so I’m a bit nervous about the learning curve.
Also, thanks for the heads-up about the legality stuff. I’ll definitely keep it small-scale and not overdo it. Appreciate all the advice! 🙌
