ScrapeUnblocker Documentation

The Google Maps Place Details plugin returns everything Google Maps shows for one place as structured JSON. Identify the place with a place_id, a Google Maps place URL or a raw Maps feature_id, and you get the name, the one-line address and its component lines, the phone number and website, the star rating, the business categories, the coordinates and plus code, the opening hours with the current open/closed status, the editorial description, photos, related places and a stable Google Maps link. No Google Cloud project, billing account or Places API key is involved. To find places by keyword and area first, use the Google Local plugin.

Try it in the dashboard first: app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins. You get a live results view plus a copy-paste snippet.

Place details

POST /maps/place-details

Pass one of place_id, url or feature_id. If you pass more than one, feature_id wins, then url, then place_id.

Field	Required	Notes
`place_id`	one of the three	A Google place id, e.g. `ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4`.
`url`	one of the three	A Google Maps place URL that contains the place’s feature id (`0x...:0x...`) or place id, such as a `/maps/place/...` URL. The id is read out of it.
`feature_id`	one of the three	A Maps feature id `0xHEX:0xHEX`, e.g. `0x47e66e2964e34e2d:0x8ddca9ee380ef7e0`. Fastest - no resolve step. Every response returns it as `featureId`, so store it for repeat lookups.
`hl`	no	Google interface language, e.g. `en` (default), `de`, `fr`.
`gl`	no	Google country (ISO-2, lowercase). Default `us`.
`proxy_country`	no	Proxy country the request is sent from (ISO-2). Default `US`. The place is resolved directly, so the answer does not depend on it; an EU country runs into Google’s consent wall.
`raw`	no	`true` adds Google’s decoded place array under `raw`. Default `false`.

Field	Notes

`phone` / `website`	Phone number and website, when listed.
`rating` / `reviewCount`	Star rating (out of 5) and the number of reviews. `reviewCount` is best effort and can be missing.
`priceLevel`	Google’s price level text, for places that have one (restaurants, bars).
`categories`	Business categories, primary first.
`latitude` / `longitude` / `plusCode`	Coordinates and the Open Location Code.
`hours`	Opening hours by weekday, as Google prints them (several ranges per day when the place closes mid-day).
`openNow`	Google’s current open/closed status line, e.g. `Closed`.
`description`	The editorial description, when Google has one.
`photo` / `photos`	The hero photo and the photo URLs in the feed.
`relatedPlaces`	Places Google lists as “people also search for”, each with `name` and `feature_id` you can pass back to this endpoint.
`featureId` / `cid` / `googleMapsUrl`	Google’s ids for the place and a stable Maps link built from the `cid`.
`resolvedFrom`	Which input identified the place: `place_id`, `url` or `feature_id`.

Fields Google does not have for a place are left out of place, so check for a key’s presence rather than for null.

Errors

Status	Meaning
`400`	No place identifier, a malformed `feature_id`, or a `url` with no place id or feature id in it.
`502`	The place could not be resolved, Google returned no place data, or the call did not finish in time. Retry.
