Google Maps Reviews API
Brief
What is Google Maps Reviews API?
BrowserAct’s Google Maps Reviews API lets you extract reviews from Google Maps through a single API request — no crawler scripts, and no manual export.
This API is designed to loop through places found in the search results list, open each place’s reviews section, and collect review data at scale. Simply pass your KeyWords, language, country, and TargetURL. BrowserAct runs the workflow in the background and returns clean, structured review data directly via API.

The API extracts structured review fields, including:
- author_name: Display name of the reviewer
