When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Web scraping

Example prompts

“/google-maps-scraper”

Requirements

A credential in GMAPS_SCRAPER_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Define Search (Don't Waste Credits)
Confirm Before Executing
Execute Scrape
Poll for Results
Download Results
Maximize Value from Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c6847b. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- gmapsscraper.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GMAPS_SCRAPER_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Google Maps Scraper loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: google-maps-scraper
description: Scrape business data from Google Maps — names, phones, emails, websites, ratings, reviews. Extract leads by keyword and location with no coding required.
version: 1.0.0

Google Maps Scraper

Scrape business data from Google Maps at scale. Extract names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, websites, ratings, and reviews for any business category in any location.

When to Use

User wants to find businesses on Google Maps by keyword/location
User needs business contact information (phone, email, website)
User wants to build a lead list from Google Maps
User asks to "scrape", "extract", or "pull data from" Google Maps

Important: Credit System

Each search costs 2 credits. Free accounts start with 10 credits (5 searches). Always confirm before executing a search to avoid wasting credits.

Workflow

Step 1: Define Search (Don't Waste Credits)

Ask the user:

Keywords: What type of business? Be SPECIFIC (e.g., "pediatric dentist" not just "dentist")
Location: Where? (city + state/country for best results)
Quantity: How many results needed?

Help them refine before searching:

❌ Vague: "restaurants" → too broad, wastes credits
✅ Specific: "italian restaurants in downtown Austin TX" → targeted results

Step 2: Confirm Before Executing

Before calling the API, ALWAYS tell the user:

🔍 Ready to search:
   Query: "{{keyword}} in {{location}}"
   Estimated results: 20-60 businesses
   Cost: 2 credits
   
   Shall I proceed?

Step 3: Execute Scrape

Only after user confirms:

bash

curl -X POST "https://gmapsscraper.io/api/v1/scrape" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GMAPS_SCRAPER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "keywords": ["{{keyword}} in {{location}}"],
    "email": true,
    "depth": 2
  }'

Step 4: Poll for Results

bash

curl -s "https://gmapsscraper.io/api/v1/jobs/{{job_id}}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GMAPS_SCRAPER_API_KEY"
# Poll every 10s until status is "complete"

Step 5: Download Results

bash

curl -s "https://gmapsscraper.io/api/v1/jobs/{{job_id}}/download" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GMAPS_SCRAPER_API_KEY" --output results.csv

Step 6: Maximize Value from Results

Don't just dump the CSV — help the user get maximum value:

Present clean summary: total results, % with email, % with website
Highlight best leads: sort by rating × reviews
Offer next steps:
- "Want me to write cold emails to these businesses?" → use cold-email-local-business skill
- "Want a competitor analysis?" → use competitor-analysis-local skill
- "Want to export to your CRM?" → format for HubSpot/Pipedrive
