google-maps-search-api
This skill is designed to help users automatically extract business data from Google Maps search results. When a user asks to "find coffee shops in New York," "search for dental clinics," or "extract business leads from Google Maps," the agent should proactively apply this skill.
Why use this skill?
Automate business data collection with the Google Maps Search API skill. Quickly extract ratings, addresses, and service tags for leads and market research.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/phheng/google-maps-search-apiWhat This Skill Does
The google-maps-search-api skill is a high-performance tool integrated directly into OpenClaw designed to automate the retrieval of business intelligence from Google Maps. Whether you need to gather local market data, find specific service providers, or generate comprehensive lead lists, this skill serves as an automated bridge to real-world location data. It extracts structured information including business names, exact addresses, star ratings, review counts, price ranges, and specific service amenities (such as Wi-Fi availability or dine-in options) directly into your command-line interface or AI console.
Installation
Installation is designed for simplicity. OpenClaw users can deploy this via the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/phheng/google-maps-search-api. For manual setup on platforms like OpenCode or Cursor, simply clone the skill folder into the appropriate local configuration directory (e.g., ~/.opencode/skills/). Ensure your BROWSERACT_API_KEY is set in your environment variables to initiate requests, as the script requires authorized access to the BrowserAct API infrastructure.
Use Cases
- Market Research: Analyze competitors in a specific city by extracting ratings and pricing models.
- Lead Generation: Build targeted outreach lists of local businesses (e.g., dentists, cafes, or coworking spaces) for B2B prospecting.
- Logistics & Planning: Quickly aggregate business attributes for travel itineraries or site selection projects.
- Data Enrichment: Supplement existing customer databases with verified address and service-type information found on Google Maps.
Example Prompts
- "Find coffee shops in New York that have good ratings and outdoor seating."
- "Search for dental clinics in London and save the list to my lead folder."
- "Extract the top 50 coworking spaces in Berlin and tell me which ones have the best review counts."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure optimal results, always verify your BROWSERACT_API_KEY status before execution. The skill defaults to a us country bias and en language; be sure to adjust the country parameter if searching outside the United States for more accurate localization. Note that while the API is fast and stable, search depth is subject to the max_dates parameter, which defaults to 100 entries. For extensive data scraping, consider splitting queries into smaller geographical subsets to ensure complete data integrity. If the API key is missing, the agent will prompt you to visit the BrowserAct Console; ensure you have a valid account to avoid execution errors.
