About Google Local Search

Google Local Search is the local-results view of Google that returns nearby businesses and places matched to a query, typically shown as a local pack with map listings. Each local result exposes the business name, rating, review count, address, and category worth scraping.

Scraping note: Local results are geo-sensitive and returned via the tbm=lcl filter, so an accurate location parameter is essential or the listings will reflect the wrong area.

Example Google Local Search page

https://www.google.com/search?q=coffee+shops+near+me&tbm=lcl

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Google Local Search

check_small business name check_small star rating check_small review count check_small address check_small business category check_small phone number

Google Local Search Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Local Search?

expand_more

Scraping publicly accessible Google Local Search data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Google Local Search's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Google Local Search without getting blocked?

expand_more

You scrape Google Local Search without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Google Local Search's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Google Local Search Scraper API return?

expand_more

Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Google Local Search page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Google Local Search Scraper API cost?

expand_more

The Google Local Search Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Google Local Search account or login?

expand_more

No Google Local Search login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Google Local Search URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Google Local Search credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
