What parameters does it take?

It accepts 6 parameters. Required: none — every parameter is optional. See the full parameter table above for types, defaults and options.

How much does the Google Maps scraper cost?

$0.60 per 1,000 requests ($0.0006 each), billed from your balance. You only pay for successful requests.

How does pricing work?

Every scraper is a flat $0.60 per 1,000 requests — that's $0.0006 per request — drawn from your prepaid balance as you go. There's no subscription, no per-seat fee and nothing expires. You're only charged for successful requests; failures cost nothing.

Do I need my own proxies?

No. Proxies, headless browsers and anti-bot handling all run on our network and are included in the request price. You send parameters and get data back — there's no separate proxy bill and no infrastructure to run.

What format is the data returned in?

Clean, structured JSON with a stable, documented shape per endpoint. You build against a schema instead of parsing HTML, so a site redesign upstream doesn't break your integration.

How do I authenticate?

Every request carries your API key as an 'Authorization: Bearer ' header (or 'x-api-key'). Create and rotate keys from the dashboard. One key works across all 179 scrapers.

Are there rate limits?

The API allows up to 120 requests per minute per key out of the box. Need more throughput for a large job? Reach out and we'll raise your limit.

Is web scraping legal?

Collecting publicly available data is generally permissible, and these scrapers only access public pages. You're responsible for how you use the data — follow each source's terms and applicable law, and don't collect personal data you have no basis to process.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. Create an account and you can start sending requests right away to test the endpoints and response shapes before you scale up.

Quickstart

One request. Structured JSON back.

POST the scraper slug and your parameters to a single endpoint, authorized with your API key. No proxies to rotate, no browser to run — the response is parsed and ready to use.

curl -X POST https://app.serpproxies.com/api/v1/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SERP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"slug":"maps-autocomplete","params":{}}'

Reference

Request parameters

Google Maps — Autocomplete accepts 6 parameters. Pass them in the "params" object of your request body.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
query	text	Optional	Support both 'q' and 'query' parameters for consistency with other autocomplete endpoints The prepareForValidation method ensures 'query' is always set if 'q' is provided
q	text	Optional	Query
hl	text	Optional	Language (hl)
gl	text	Optional	Country (gl)
ll	text	Optional	Ll
google_domain	text	Optional	Google Domain

API reference

Auth, rate limits and errors.

One key, one endpoint and a predictable response envelope — the same contract applies to every scraper.

Authentication

Send your API key as an "Authorization: Bearer <key>" header, or as "x-api-key: <key>". Create and rotate keys in the dashboard — one key works across all 179 scrapers.

Rate limits

Up to 120 requests per minute per key; exceed it and the API returns 429. For large jobs, reach out and we'll raise your limit. Your balance is drawn only on a successful scrape.

Status	Meaning	When
200	OK	success: true, with the parsed result in data.
400	Bad request	Missing slug or a required input parameter.
401	Unauthorized	Missing or invalid API key.
402	Payment required	Insufficient balance — top up to continue. Not charged.
404	Not found	The slug doesn't match a scraper.
429	Too many requests	Over 120 requests/minute for this key.
502 / 503	Scrape failed / unavailable	Upstream problem — you're not charged.
500	Server error	Unexpected error — you're not charged.

Error envelope

{
  "success": false,
  "data": null,
  "error": "Insufficient balance"
}

Every response uses the same shape — success, data and error — so you branch on one field.

vs the official API

The official Places API is metered and capped.

Why teams reach for the Google Maps scraper instead of an official API.

The official API

Google's Places API works but is priced per call, quota-limited, and deliberately restricts bulk and review access — you can't pull full review streams or export listings at scale, and costs climb fast as volume grows.

Why SerpProxies

A data API, not a reseller.

We run the network

Every scraper runs on proxies and browsers we own and operate. There's no reseller markup and no separate proxy bill — the request price is the whole price, and it already includes the anti-bot work.

Pay per successful request

Flat pricing at $0.60 per 1,000 requests, billed from your balance as you go. Failed requests aren't charged, nothing expires, and there's no monthly minimum or seat licensing to reason about.

Structured JSON, not HTML

Each endpoint returns a stable, documented shape — parsed, typed and consistent — so you build against a schema instead of babysitting brittle CSS selectors that break on every redesign.

One API, one key

179 scrapers share a single endpoint, a single auth key and a single balance. Learn it once and every source — from Google to TikTok to Booking.com — works the same way.
