How do I scrape Google Maps for free?

If you are wondering how to scrape Google maps for free, and how this can help you, here is my detailed answer.

How to scrape Google Maps for free. My experience with scraping Google map data was quite good. You need a very simple scraper like HTTrack. With HTTrack you can easily make a webpage, fill it with content, and then use that content to make a search query on Google or Bing.

You can fill in the form with whatever content you want to scrape. In my case I wanted to find hotels near by the airport. But you don't have to use hotels.

In my example I'm using a simple form. In your case you can just grab the form data.

Let's check if we got a valid answer. And here we got the answer in two ways. For now just look at the title. We got the answer here.

I want to get the address as well. Just look at the image. The image says address here. And here is a link for all the hotels. We got address from the image.

Now let's focus on grabbing the data. This is what you can do with this form.

I clicked into the box, and started scraping. Let's download a CSV file.

The URL looks like this: If you want the list of hotels, go to the URL like this: The last one can be really interesting. If you go to this URL: That url gets converted to HTML. That means we can take it directly from the URL.

Just look at the image and the text of that picture and use that. Scraping in general. This is the way I learned to scrape. I use the software HTTrack to do it.

But it's not a must. There are many other tools for you to use.

Here is the link of HTTrack: HTTrack is free. I would say this is the best way to start with scraping. It's the easiest way to make a search query on Google Maps.

How do you use listly?

Just a few steps.

First, you need to have a list. Second, you start adding items to your list. Each item has options associated with it.

Third, if you want to get the list out of listly, you do it. In this tutorial, we'll add an item to the first list that we have and see how it shows up in all the lists on the site. So what do you need? First, open up a file in listly (like we did above with the example), then find an empty list to put our content in. If you don't see the list, just hover over it until a menu comes up. You can also create a new list from here.

Once you've got your list, you can get started with adding items to it. To do that, click on the plus icon up in the top right corner. From there, you can add all sorts of things - photos, videos, text, links, etc. Add your content, and then click on the plus icon again. It will turn blue to indicate it was added.

That's all there is to it. Now, if you do everything right, you'll see your new item show up in every list on your site.

I love that listly is so intuitive. Plus, their free and pro plans both let you create unlimited lists, so it's pretty easy to add even more lists than I normally do.
