Apify Google Maps Photo Download

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: ai-tooling  ·  Last updated:
Bulk google maps photo download with the Apify Google Maps Photos API Actor (johnvc/google-maps-photos-api). Name a place, paste a Google Maps URL, or search a category and city, and get one row per photo with the full-size image url, a thumbnail, its gallery position, and a stable photo id you can de-duplicate on across runs. One run sweeps up to 20 places, so a whole neighbourhood of businesses comes back in a single pass instead of one right-click at a time. Filter to a gallery section when you only want menus, interiors, or owner uploads. Use when the user wants to download google maps photos, bulk place images, a google maps images api, place photos api access, or imagery for a directory, listings site, or dataset. Pay per photo returned, MCP-ready for Claude and other AI agents.
