Google Maps Review Scraper API Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about review extraction? Reach our developer support team at [email protected]

Do I need Google OAuth or Google Business Profile access?

No. Bolt Scraper scrapes public Google Maps reviews. You can query reviews for any competitor, vendor, or store without business verification, Google Cloud Console setup, or OAuth permissions.

Can I extract more than 5 reviews?

Yes. While the official Google Places API limits responses to only 5 most helpful reviews, Bolt Scraper extracts 100% of reviews using cursor-based next_page_token pagination in real-time or up to 25,000+ reviews in batch mode.

Are owner replies included in the JSON payload?

Yes. If the business owner replied to a review, the payload includes the owner response text, response timestamp, and translated text when requested.

Can I filter reviews by date?

Yes. The batch jobs API supports cutoff_date options including '7 days', '30 days', '90 days', '6 months', '1 year', and '2 years' to avoid scraping years of stale reviews.
