What it does

Google Maps Reviews API Skill is an agent skill from browser-act/skills. This skill is designed to help users automatically extract reviews from Google Maps via the Google Maps Reviews API. Agent should proactively apply this skill when users request to find reviews for local businesses (e.g., coffee shops, clinics), monitor customer feedback for a specific brand or location, analyze sentiment of reviews for competitors, extract reviews for a chain of stores or services, track reputation of a local restaurant, gather user testimonials for a specific venue, conduct market research on…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/google_maps_reviews_api.py`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Market research, Customer feedback analysis and Lead generation. It works with Google Maps Platform. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation CLI built for AI agents. Break through anti-bot walls, hand off to humans across platforms when stuck. Parallel multi-task execution, independent multi-session… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Market research
  • Tasks that involve Customer feedback analysis
  • Tasks that involve Lead generation

Example prompts

  • “/google-maps-reviews-api-skill”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in BROWSERACT_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction.
  2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
  3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing.
  4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
  5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11c057b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • browseract.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BROWSERACT_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Google Maps Reviews API Skill loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 210 tokens; SKILL.md has 622 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~210
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Google Maps Reviews Automation Skill

📖 Introduction

This skill provides a one-stop review collection service using BrowserAct's Google Maps Reviews API template. It can extract structured review data directly from Google Maps search results. Simply provide the search keywords, language, and country to get clean, usable review data.

✨ Features

  1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction.
  2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
  3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing.
  4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
  5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions.

🔑 API Key Setup

Before running, check the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable. If not set, do not take other measures; ask and wait for the user to provide it. Agent must inform the user:

"Since you haven't configured the BrowserAct API Key, please visit the BrowserAct Console to get your Key."

🛠️ Input Parameters

The Agent should flexibly configure the following parameters when calling the script:

  1. KeyWords (Search Keywords)

    • Type: string
    • Description: The query used to find places on Google Maps (e.g., business names, categories).
    • Example: coffee shop, dental clinic, Tesla showroom

  2. language (Language)

    • Type: string
    • Description: Sets the UI language and the language of the returned text.
    • Supported values: en, zh-CN, es, fr, etc.
    • Default: en

  3. country (Country)

    • Type: string
    • Description: Country or region bias for search results.
    • Supported values: us, gb, ca, au, jp, etc.
    • Default: us

🚀 Usage

Agent should use the following independent script to achieve "one-line command result":

bash
# Example call
python -u ./scripts/google_maps_reviews_api.py "Keywords" "Language" "Country"
⏳ Execution Monitoring

Since this task involves automated browser operations, it may take some time (several minutes). The script will continuously output status logs with timestamps (e.g., [14:30:05] Task Status: running). Agent Instructions:

  • While waiting for the script result, keep monitoring the terminal output.
  • As long as the terminal is outputting new status logs, the task is running normally; do not mistake it for a deadlock or unresponsiveness.
  • Only if the status remains unchanged for a long time or the script stops outputting without returning a result should you consider triggering the retry mechanism.

📊 Data Output

After successful execution, the script parses and prints results from the API response:

  • author_name: Display name of the reviewer
  • author_profile_url: Profile URL of the reviewer
  • rating: Star rating
  • text: Review text content
  • comment_date: Human-readable date
  • likes_count: Number of likes
  • author_image_url: Reviewer's avatar URL

⚠️ Error Handling & Retry

If an error occurs during script execution (e.g., network fluctuations or task failure), the Agent should follow this logic:

  1. Check Output Content:

    • If the output contains "Invalid authorization", it means the API Key is invalid or expired. Do not retry; guide the user to re-check and provide the correct API Key.
    • If the output does not contain "Invalid authorization" but the task failed (e.g., output starts with Error: or returns empty results), the Agent should automatically try to re-execute the script once.

  2. Retry Limit:

    • Automatic retry is limited to one time. If the second attempt fails, stop retrying and report the specific error information to the user.

🌟 Typical Use Cases

  1. Local Business Analysis: Find reviews for cafes or clinics in a specific area.
  2. Reputation Monitoring: Track feedback for a specific brand location.
  3. Competitive Benchmarking: Analyze reviews of competitor stores.
  4. Sentiment Analysis: Gather review text for emotion and topic modeling.
  5. Market Research: Evaluate service quality across different regions.
  6. Lead Qualification: Use review data to identify high-quality service providers.
  7. Customer Insight: Understand recurring complaints or praises.
  8. Venue Research: Collect testimonials for parks, museums, or attractions.
  9. Retail Monitoring: Gather feedback for newly opened stores.
  10. Service Quality Audit: Analyze ratings and comments for a specific service chain.
