About Google Reviews

Google Reviews are the star ratings and written customer reviews attached to a business's Google Business Profile, surfaced in Google Search and Google Maps. The aggregate rating, individual review text, reviewer names, star scores, and review dates are the publicly displayed fields to scrape.

Scraping note: Reviews load via the Maps interface with lazy loading and pagination tokens, so extracting the full set requires handling scroll/continuation rather than a single static page.

Example Google Reviews page

https://www.google.com/maps/place/EXAMPLE-Business-Name/

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 Reviews

check_small overall star rating check_small total review count check_small individual review text check_small reviewer name check_small review date check_small owner response

Common use: A reputation-monitoring tool scrapes Google Reviews across a chain's locations to track average ratings and surface new negative feedback for each branch.

Google Reviews Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Reviews?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Google Reviews 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 Reviews'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 Reviews without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Google Reviews 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 Reviews's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Google Reviews Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Google Reviews 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 Reviews Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Google Reviews 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 Reviews account or login?

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