Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to perform a Google Maps search based on a user-provided query or place ID. It is useful for retrieving location-based data such as businesses or places matching the search criteria. Users can specify parameters like the maximum number of results, language, and optional data enrichments to enhance the returned information. The node supports asynchronous requests and webhook callbacks for task completion notifications.

Use Case Examples

  1. A marketing team uses this node to find local businesses matching certain keywords to gather contact details and company insights for outreach campaigns.
  2. A developer integrates this node to fetch place information in a specified language and limit the number of results for a location-based app.
  3. A data analyst enriches Google Maps search results with additional company data such as revenue and contact information for market research.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query The search query or place ID to find locations or businesses on Google Maps.
Limit Maximum number of search results to return.
Language Language code to specify the language of the returned results (e.g., en, fr, es).
Enrichment Optional enrichments to apply to the search results, such as company insights, contact details, email verification, and phone data. Multiple enrichments can be selected to enhance the data.
Async Request Whether to make the request asynchronously, allowing for longer processing times with callback notifications.
Webhook URL to which Outscraper will send a POST request once the asynchronous task is finished.
Request Options Additional request settings such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy usage, and timeout configuration.

Output

JSON

  • results - Array of search results matching the query, including enriched data if requested.
  • taskId - Identifier for the asynchronous task if async mode is enabled.
  • status - Status of the search request or asynchronous task.

Dependencies

  • Outscraper API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to access the Outscraper API.
  • If using asynchronous requests, verify the webhook URL is reachable and correctly set up to receive POST callbacks.
  • Check that the query parameter is not empty and is properly formatted to avoid empty or invalid search results.
  • If enrichments are selected, be aware that response times may increase; consider using async mode to handle longer processing times.
