Managed execution
Each Crawlora platform API is designed around a specific data surface. Instead of exposing a generic fetch endpoint, Crawlora combines endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior is tuned for the target platform and endpoint type.
Supported endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable upstream responses are detected and surfaced clearly.
Results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

How to scrape Google Maps
Google Maps holds the richest public local-business dataset, but it's rendered for humans, not APIs. Crawlora's Google Maps endpoints return places, ratings, reviews, and contact details as structured JSON.
Search a query plus a location (e.g. “coffee shops in Austin”), or look up a single place by name or ID.
Pass the query and location (or a place reference) to Crawlora's Google Maps endpoint — no headless browser to maintain.
Receive business name, address, phone, rating, review count, hours, coordinates, and website for every result.
Dedupe by domain, enrich each website with the Contact API for emails and socials, or re-run on a schedule to track new and changed listings.
FAQ
Pass a search query plus location (or a specific place) to Crawlora's Google Maps endpoint. You get structured JSON — business name, address, phone, rating, reviews, hours, coordinates, and website — without maintaining browser automation. Collect public data and respect Google's terms.
Yes — Crawlora's Google Maps endpoints are a Google Maps data API for places, ratings, reviews, hours, coordinates, and local business data as structured JSON. It returns Maps results without managing the official Places API quota or a headless browser.
Google Maps lists each business's website and phone, not its email. Pair the Maps results with Crawlora's Contact API to pull emails and social profiles from each business's website — the missing piece for outreach.
Scraping publicly visible place and business data is generally permissible if you respect Google's terms of use, robots directives, rate limits, and applicable law. This is for public data you're authorized to collect.
