Yes, scraping public business details from Google Maps is legal. Public directories and maps data represent publicly accessible information, which has been upheld in legal precedents (such as the landmark hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn case) as open for public extraction. Bolt Scraper only accesses public information and does not bypass private paywalls.

If you're an individual or small business needing occasional data, our Chrome Extension is perfect as it runs locally with a lifetime license. If you're an agency or enterprise requiring massive volume, speed, and continuous extraction without keeping your computer on, our Online Scraper (Cloud) plan is the ideal choice.

Yes! We offer a Free Forever tier for our Chrome Extension, allowing you to test out the core extraction features at no cost. For our Cloud platform, we provide a free trial with complimentary credits so you can evaluate the lightning-fast extraction speeds.

Google Maps natively limits any single viewport search query to approximately 120 places. Bolt Scraper circumvents this restriction using automatic geographic grid subdivision and zip code / sub-locality matrix searches. By scanning sub-regions automatically in the background, you can collect thousands of distinct local businesses without missing listings.

Bolt Scraper captures 60+ data points including: Business Name, Address, Street Address, City, Zip, State, Country, Timezone, Phone, Phone Type, Is Mobile, Website, Clean Website URL, Domain, Email 1, Email 2, Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter), Primary & Secondary Categories, Claimed GMB Status, Review Count, Average Star Rating, Hours (all 7 days), Latitude, Longitude, Place ID, CID, and Photos URL.

No! With the Bolt Scraper Cloud Platform, premium rotating residential proxies and anti-detection systems are completely built-in and managed on our servers with zero proxy setup required. With our Chrome Extension, humanized delays and scroll simulations prevent rate limits on your local IP for daily searches.

Yes. With Bolt's Online Cloud Scraper, you can queue tasks across hundreds of keywords and locations that execute 24/7 on distributed serverless clusters. Extractions run in the background, so you can close your browser or turn off your computer and export your leads anytime from the cloud dashboard.

Universal Credits are unified across all tools on our Cloud Platform. 1 Credit equals 1 extracted business lead or 1 scraped review. You can distribute your monthly credit quota freely across Google Maps Scraper, Google Reviews Scraper, and Website Scraper without paying for separate subscriptions.

You only pay for unique leads. Every job includes 100% free automatic duplicate filtering across all keywords and locations. Duplicate listings are eliminated completely free of charge — you are never billed for duplicate leads.

You can target any language and any location globally across Google Maps, Yellow Pages, and Facebook, with localized phone and address formatting.

Not at all. Your license is tied to your account, not your hardware. You can easily reset and transfer your active machine license key anytime via the My License portal.

Bolt Scraper provides a developer API that accepts search terms, geographic targets, and configuration parameters. Once cloud extraction completes, an automated webhook callback posts full JSON and CSV result sets directly to your specified endpoint, allowing direct connection to Google Sheets, n8n, Make.com, or HubSpot.

No. Bolt Scraper does not require you to log in with your personal or business Google account. The scraper operates anonymously. Your personal Google profile is never associated with scraping requests, ensuring 100% account safety.

You can export leads in standard CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and JSON formats with one click. In addition, our Cloud Platform supports automatic Webhook delivery and direct integration with outreach tools and spreadsheets.

Bolt Scraper provides both flexible monthly cloud subscriptions and one-time Lifetime Deal (LTD) licenses for Chrome desktop extensions with lifetime updates and unlimited local extractions.

The Extension operates on a flat lifetime or monthly license and uses your local machine. The Online Scraper is a volume-based monthly subscription that utilizes our high-speed cloud infrastructure.

If you hit your monthly limit on our Cloud plan, your extractions will pause. You can easily upgrade to a higher tier or purchase top-up credits directly from your dashboard to resume scraping immediately.

We officially support direct extraction from Yellow Pages directories across 8 major countries: United States (YP.com), Canada (YellowPages.ca), United Kingdom, Australia, and more. This makes it an ideal tool for international B2B lead generation.

Absolutely. In addition to directory fields, when a website link is listed, the scraper can crawl that external business website in the background to extract accurate contact email addresses, phone numbers, and links to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

We use quick algorithms to avoid the user’s IP getting blocked easily. Users can scrape many times more data compared to other tools without getting blocked. However, Proxy/VPN usage may still required in many cases depending on the location and the amount of data you are planning to scrape.

The software can work with all major proxies and VPNs. However, when you are using a proxy or VPN, YellowPages and other platforms will see their IP addresses. So, using a good quality proxy or VPN is recommended for a smooth scraping experience.

1 Credit = 1 Website Successfully Scanned. If a website fails to load, times out, or if you cancel a bulk job before it finishes, those unused credits are automatically refunded to your balance!

Scraping speed depends on the target website. For example, scraping 10 fast websites might take just 5 seconds, whereas scraping 10 slow-loading small business websites might take up to 20 seconds. Bolt Scraper optimizes the process, but ultimately it must wait for the website to load.

Other scrapers charge outrageous fees because they use slow, outdated servers. We built Bolt Scraper natively on next-generation edge network technology, allowing us to scrape 100x faster at a fraction of the compute cost—and we pass those massive savings directly to you.

Our Free plan allows you to scan up to 1,000 websites per month to test the platform. Our premium plans support scanning up to 1,000,000+ websites per month depending on your tier.

This gives you absolute coverage over B2B opportunities on the platform.

The Website Lead Finder is a powerful feature in version 1.3.0. When Facebook profiles don't explicitly list contact emails or phone numbers, the tool automatically crawls their linked external business websites in the background to find and extract contact details.
