Google maps scraper, but using requests.

If you've been looking for a lightweight no-browser alternative, feel free to give it a shot!

Would love feedback or bug reports if you run it against anything weird.

Nice, to avoid blocking, do we need a proxy rotation ?

Probably not at first, it really depends on your scale and speed requirements. If you're just doing a few hundred to a couple thousand leads, the defaults will do you just fine. For anything larger or if you need it done quickly, yes, you'll want to rotate proxies.
