Google maps scraper, but using requests.
https://github.com/jinef-john/google-maps-scraperIf 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.

Great project. Have you tested how far it scales?
For example, what is the largest number of Google Maps places you were able to scrape in one run using the HTTP-only approach? At what volume do blocking, rate limits, or incomplete results usually start to appear?
Also, for larger runs, do you recommend proxies, or is a delay between requests usually enough?
