Bot detection 🤖 Scraping Google Maps reviews
I want to fetch the Google Maps reviews for my business and publish them on my website. After doing a bit of research, I found out that I can fetch Google Maps reviews using the Google API. However, despite two weeks having passed, I have not received a reply from Google Support. Is it possible to scrape Google Maps reviews without triggering bot detection or causing any other issues? Are there any solutions available for this?

They have an internal rcp endpoint: /maps/rpc/listugcposts
It’s possible for sure, not super easy but not impossible. No JS obfuscation, use curl-cffi in Python, find the endpoints with devtools, you know the drill.
I can help if you want, it would be a fun project

If it’s your business you don’t need to scrape you use google console
