gmaps-scraper

Interactive Google Maps scraper with Tkinter confirmation

gmaps-scraper lets you visually pick locations in Google Maps and captures the place name, coordinates, address, city, state, country, plus any custom fields you specify. Each pick pops up a dialog so you can review or add extra info before recording.

Features

• Live map interaction via Selenium & Chrome
• Automatic extraction of:
  • Place name
  • Latitude & longitude
  • Full address
  • City, state, country (via Plus code)
• Custom fields: define required * or optional fields in your dialog
• Repeatable picks: after each capture, you’re asked “Keep going?”
• Clean teardown of browser sessions

Installation

pip install gmaps-scraper

Usage

Basic pick

from gmaps_scraper import get_google_map_details

# Launch the map picker; no extra fields
data = get_google_map_details()
print(data)
# => { "Central Park": { "latitude": "...", "longitude": "...", ... } }

With custom fields

from gmaps_scraper import get_google_map_details

data = get_google_map_details(
    additional_required=['Contact', 'Phone'],
    additional_optional=['Notes']
)
print(data)

In the confirmation dialog box:

• Fields ending with * are required—the dialog won’t proceed until you fill them.
• Optional fields can be left blank.

API Reference

• get_google_map_details(additional_required=None, additional_optional=None)
  Starts a headful Chrome session, opens maps.google.com, and watches for your place selections. Returns a dict keyed by place name, with all fields you confirmed.
