FAQ
Do you provide the actual Python script, or just the scraped data?
It depends on your needs! The Basic and Standard packages include the extracted data delivered in your preferred format (Excel, CSV, or JSON). If you want the actual Python and Selenium source code to run yourself, please select the Premium package or message me for a custom offer.
What happens if a specific location doesn't have "Popular Times" data?
Google Maps only displays popular times for businesses that receive enough foot traffic. If a location on your list doesn't have this data available, I will extract the rest of the available business info (name, address, ratings) and leave the popular times section blank or notify you, depending on
Can you scrape other details like phone numbers, website URLs, and ratings?
Yes, absolutely! Along with the popular times, my scraper can extract publicly visible information like the business name, address, phone number, website, total reviews, and star rating.
How do I send you the list of places to scrape?
You can send me a spreadsheet/text file with the exact Google Maps URLs, OR you can just give me a search term and a location (for example: "Coffee shops in Ahangama" or "Hotels in Southern Province"), and my script will handle the rest!
Can this script bypass CAPTCHAs or IP blocks?
My Selenium scripts are built with standard delays and dynamic scrolling to mimic human behavior and avoid basic blocking. However, for massive lists (thousands of locations), we may need to discuss using proxies. Please message me for large-scale enterprise scraping!
