Hi everyone! Recently, I decided to try collecting data from Google Maps for my small project researching cafés in the city. At first, it seemed simple: open the map, look at the places, copy the contacts. But when I tried processing over 200 locations, I ran into duplicates, incomplete data, and sometimes even incorrect categories. I came across this tool, which explains in detail how to properly collect data, which fields to include, and how to avoid mistakes — it really helped me understand where to start. Has anyone else had a similar experience at the beginning?
Interesting topic, especially now when almost any project is related to data. I’ve noticed that many services introduce limits so people don’t overload their systems, which makes sense, even if it’s inconvenient. Sometimes even simple solutions, like automating routine tasks, can greatly simplify life. It’s great that people share their experiences — that way you find working solutions faster than through trial and error.
I had a similar situation when I needed to collect contacts for a local business. At first, I also tried changing queries manually, but quickly realized that it doesnÂ’t scale. In the end, I started using this tool, which is specifically designed for working with Google Maps and helps get more data without constant limits. With its help, I collected hundreds of records at once, which would have taken days manually. Plus, itÂ’s convenient that you can filter and export everything into spreadsheets.
