Django Google Maps Reviews : Pulling Data into local Django app

Hi hi,

Am looking for guidance on how I could interact with the Google Maps Srapper in my django application, I already have a model and a view that I would like to add the individual reviews from a particular listing.

NB: I have numerous listings that I will also need to get the reviews from and present them based on their own url/details

Hello! Are you talking about Apify's scraper? In that case, you probably want to use the Python client to start a run for the Google Maps scraper and gather the results: https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/.

Consider that there are quite a few actors for Google Maps. For instance:
If you already have the URLs, I would suggest using the latter to scrape the reviews.
Yes the Apify Scraper, I had met up with the APIFY team and they had ran me through the features a bit quickly at the PyCon Namibia
I would suggest experimenting a bit with the Goolge Maps scrapers directly on the platform, to see if any of them would work for you and to check the output format, then reading the documentation for the Python client to see how to call an actor programmatically and read its output. πŸ™‚
