Web Scraping Google Maps Place with Nodejs

#webscraping #node #serpapi #maps

What will be scraped

Preparation

First, we need to create a Node.js* project and add npm packages puppeteer, puppeteer-extra and puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth to control Chromium (or Chrome, or Firefox, but now we work only with Chromium which is used by default) over the DevTools Protocol in headless or non-headless mode.

To do this, in the directory with our project, open the command line and enter npm init -y, and then npm i puppeteer puppeteer-extra puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth.

*If you don't have Node.js installed, you can download it from nodejs.org and follow the installation documentation.

📌Note: also, you can use puppeteer without any extensions, but I strongly recommended use it with puppeteer-extra with puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth to prevent website detection that you are using headless Chromium or that you are using web driver. You can check it on Chrome headless tests website. The screenshot below shows you a difference.

Process

SelectorGadget Chrome extension was used to grab CSS selectors by clicking on the desired element in the browser. If you have any struggles understanding this, we have a dedicated Web Scraping with CSS Selectors blog post at SerpApi.

The Gif below illustrates the approach of selecting different parts of the results.

Full code

📌Note: to get a place URL you may use the tutorial from my Web Scraping Google Maps Places with Nodejs blog post.

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer-extra");
const StealthPlugin = require("puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth");

puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin());

const placeUrl =
  "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Starbucks/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x549069a98254bd17:0xb2f64f75b3edf4c3!8m2!3d47.5319688!4d-122.1942498!16s%2Fg%2F1tdfmzpb!19sChIJF71UgqlpkFQRw_Tts3VP9rI?authuser=0&hl=en&rclk=1";

Code explanation

Declare constants from required libraries:

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer-extra");
const StealthPlugin = require("puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth");

Code	Explanation
`puppeteer`	Chromium control library
`StealthPlugin`	library for prevent website detection that you are using web driver

Next, we "say" to puppeteer use StealthPlugin and write place URL:

puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin());

const placeUrl =
  "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Starbucks/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x549069a98254bd17:0xb2f64f75b3edf4c3!8m2!3d47.5319688!4d-122.1942498!16s%2Fg%2F1tdfmzpb!19sChIJF71UgqlpkFQRw_Tts3VP9rI?authuser=0&hl=en&rclk=1";

Next, we write down a function for getting place info from page:

async function fillPlaceInfo(page) {
  const dataFromPage = await page.evaluate(() => {
    return {
      title: document.querySelector(".DUwDvf").textContent.trim(),
      rating: document.querySelector("div.F7nice").textContent.trim(),
      reviews: document.querySelector("span.F7nice").textContent.trim().split(" ")[0],
      price: document.querySelector(".mgr77e > span:last-child > span:nth-child(2)").textContent.trim(),
      type: document.querySelector(".skqShb > div:nth-child(2)")?.textContent.replaceAll("·", "").trim(),
      description: document.querySelector(".PYvSYb")?.textContent.replaceAll("·", "").trim(),
      serviceOptions: document.querySelector(".E0DTEd")?.textContent.replaceAll("·", "").trim(),
      address: document.querySelector("button[data-item-id='address']")?.textContent.trim(), // data-item-id attribute may be different if the language is not English
      hours: Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".OqCZI tr")).map((el) => {
        return {
          [el.querySelector("td:first-child")?.textContent.trim()]: el.querySelector("td:nth-child(2)")?.getAttribute("aria-label"),
        };
      }),
      menuLink: document.querySelector("a.CsEnBe[aria-label='Menu']")?.getAttribute["href"], // aria-label attribute may be different if the language is not English
      website: document.querySelector("a.CsEnBe[data-tooltip='Open website']")?.getAttribute("href"), // data-tooltip attribute may be different if the language is not English
      phone: document.querySelector(".RcCsl > button[data-tooltip='Copy phone number']")?.textContent.trim(), // data-tooltip attribute may be different if the language is not English

      }),
    };
  });
  return dataFromPage;
}

Code	Explanation
`page.evaluate('document.querySelector...`	runs code from the brackets in the browser console and returns the result
`document.querySelector(".DUwDvf")`	returns the first html element with selector `.DUwDvf` which is any child of the `document` html element
`document.querySelectorAll(".KoY8Lc")`	returns a static NodeList representing a list of the document's elements that match the css selectors with class name `KoY8Lc`
`.getAttribute("href")`	gets the `href` attribute value of the html element
`.textContent`	gets the raw text of html element
`.trim()`	removes whitespace from both ends of a string
`...acc`	in this code, we use spread syntax to split the object which is returned from the previous iteration of the `reduce` method into elements and add them to the new returned object

And finally, a function to control the browser, and get information:

async function getLocalPlaceInfo() {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    args: ["--no-sandbox", "--disable-setuid-sandbox"],
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

  await page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(60000);
  await page.goto(placeUrl);
  await page.waitForNavigation();

  const placeInfo = await fillPlaceInfo(page);

  await page.click(".Dx2nRe");
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

  placeInfo.photosLink = page.url();

  const urlPattern = /!1s(?<id>[^!]+).+!3d(?<latitude>[^!]+)!4d(?<longitude>[^!]+)/gm; // https://regex101.com/r/KFE09c/1
  placeInfo.dataId = [...placeUrl.matchAll(urlPattern)].map(({ groups }) => groups.id)[0];
  const latitude = [...placeUrl.matchAll(urlPattern)].map(({ groups }) => groups.latitude)[0];
  const longitude = [...placeUrl.matchAll(urlPattern)].map(({ groups }) => groups.longitude)[0];
  placeInfo.gpsCoordinates = {
    latitude,
    longitude,
  };
  placeInfo.placeUrl = placeUrl;
  await browser.close();

  return placeInfo;
}

getLocalPlaceInfo().then((result) => console.dir(result, { depth: null }));

Code	Explanation
`puppeteer.launch({options})`	this method launches a new instance of the Chromium browser with current `options`
`headless`	defines which mode to use: headless (by default) or non-headless
`args`	an array with arguments which is used with Chromium
`["--no-sandbox", "--disable-setuid-sandbox"]`	these arguments we use to allow the launch of the browser process in the online IDE
`browser.newPage()`	this method launches a new page
`page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(60000)`	changing default (30 sec) time for waiting for selectors to 60000 ms (1 min) for slow internet connection
`page.goto(placeUrl)`	navigation to `placeUrl` which is defined above
`page.click(".Dx2nRe")`	this method emulates mouse click on the html element with the `.Dx2nRe` selector
`page.waitForTimeout(2000)`	waiting 2000 ms before continue
`page.url()`	this method returns current URL address
`urlPattern`	a RegEx pattern for search and define id, latitude and longitude. See what it allows you to find
`[...placeUrl.matchAll(urlPattern)]`	in this code we use spread syntax to create an array from an iterator that was returned from matchAll method (in this case this entry is equal to `Array.from(placeUrl.matchAll(urlPattern))`)
`browser.close()`	after all we close the browser instance
`console.dir(result, { depth: null })`	console method `dir` allows you to use an object with the necessary parameters to change default output options. Watch Node.js documentation for more info

Now we can launch our parser. To do this enter node YOUR_FILE_NAME in your command line. Where YOUR_FILE_NAME is the name of your .js file.

Google Maps Place Results API

Alternatively, you can use the Google Maps Place Results API from SerpApi. SerpApi is a free API with 100 searches per month. If you need more searches, there are paid plans.

The difference is that you won't have to write code from scratch and maintain it. You may also experience blocking from Google and changing selectors which will break the parser. Instead, you just need to iterate the structured JSON and get the data you want. Check out the playground.

First, we need to install google-search-results-nodejs. To do this you need to enter in your console: npm i google-search-results-nodejs

📌Note: To make our search we need the data parameter, which must be set in the next format:

!4m5!3m4!1s + data_id + !8m2!3d + latitude + !4d + longitude

A SerpApi video tutorial about extracting data_id, latitude, and longitude

const SerpApi = require("google-search-results-nodejs");
const search = new SerpApi.GoogleSearch(process.env.API_KEY); //your API key from serpapi.com

const dataId = "0x549069a98254bd17:0xb2f64f75b3edf4c3"; // data ID parameter
const latitude = "47.5319688"; // GPS coordinates latitude
const longitude = "-122.1942498"; // GPS coordinates longitude

const params = {
  engine: "google_maps", // search engine
  type: "place", // parameter defines the type of search you want to make
  data: `!4m5!3m4!1s${dataId}!8m2!3d${latitude}!4d${longitude}`, // parameter defines a search for a specific place
};

const getJson = () => {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    search.json(params, resolve);
  });
};

getJson().then(({place_results}) => console.dir(place_results, { depth: null }));

Code explanation

Declare constants from required libraries:

const SerpApi = require("google-search-results-nodejs");
const search = new SerpApi.GoogleSearch(API_KEY);

Code	Explanation
`SerpApi`	SerpApi Node.js library
`search`	new instance of GoogleSearch class
`API_KEY`	your API key from SerpApi

Next, we write down the necessary parameters for making a request:

const dataId = "0x549069a98254bd17:0xb2f64f75b3edf4c3"; // data ID parameter
const latitude = "47.5319688"; // GPS coordinates latitude
const longitude = "-122.1942498"; // GPS coordinates longitude

const params = {
  engine: "google_maps", // search engine
  type: "place", // parameter defines the type of search you want to make
  data: `!4m5!3m4!1s${dataId}!8m2!3d${latitude}!4d${longitude}`, // parameter defines a search for a specific place
};

Code	Explanation
`dataId`	data ID parameter
`latitude`	GPS coordinates latitude
`longitude`	GPS coordinates longitude
`engine`	search engine
`type`	parameter defines the type of search you want to make
`data`	parameter defines a search for a specific place

Next, we wrap the search method from the SerpApi library in a promise to further work with the search results:

const getJson = () => {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    search.json(params, resolve);
  })
}

And finally, run the getJson function that gets place info and returns it:

getJson().then(({place_results}) => console.dir(place_results, { depth: null }));

Code	Explanation
`console.dir(result, { depth: null })`	console method `dir` allows you to use an object with the necessary parameters to change default output options. Watch Node.js documentation for more info
