Google Maps scraping can trigger rate limits or blocking, especially with larger jobs or higher concurrency. Proxies can help, but they are not a guarantee. Proxy quality, geography, concurrency, query volume, and Google behavior all affect reliability.

This page lists current proxy sponsors and supporters of this project. Using these links helps fund maintenance.

Configure Proxies

Use -proxies with a comma-separated list:

./google-maps-scraper \
  -input queries.txt \
  -results results.csv \
  -proxies "socks5://user:pass@host:port,http://host2:port2" \
  -depth 1

Supported protocols: socks5, socks5h, http, https.

Docker Example

mkdir -p gmaps-output

docker run \
  -v gmaps-playwright-cache:/opt \
  -v "$PWD/example-queries.txt:/queries.txt:ro" \
  -v "$PWD/gmaps-output:/out" \
  gosom/google-maps-scraper \
  -input /queries.txt \
  -results /out/results.csv \
  -depth 1 \
  -proxies "http://user:pass@host:port,socks5://host:port" \
  -exit-on-inactivity 3m

Practical Notes

  • Test with a small input file before running a large job.
  • Increase concurrency gradually.
  • If results become less reliable, reduce -c before assuming the proxy provider is the only issue.
  • Keep proxy URLs private. Do not commit credentials.
