Maps is made for one search at a time
Copying 20 listings into a spreadsheet by hand takes an afternoon, and the list is out of date next month.

Why it is hard today
Scrapers break and risk your account
Browser scrapers break when the page changes and do not tell you when they miss places.
Reviews need reading
What customers praise or hate is in the text of hundreds of reviews, not in the star rating.

Where does the data come from?
From Google Maps and the Google Places API: the same listings, ratings and reviews people see on Maps.
How many places can I get?
