Google Maps Scraper

Hi, I'm using the Google Maps Scraper from Compass, but it doesn't seem to give me all results. Don't know if I'm doing anything wrong. I'm trying to get a list of all locations in google maps with the category "Kindergarten" in Oslo, Norway for example. After a run, I get 367 results even though I know there are about 650-700 kindergartens in Oslo. To test, I find the google maps URL of a kindergarten in Oslo which is not amongst the 367 results, to see what category it has. The category is kindergarten, and should thus be in the result. Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Or cant I trust that the scraper finds all relevant places matching my search?

Our team will reply you soon on the actors issue tab
Thanks - what is the normal response time on the actors issue tab?

I guess, You should get response from the dev somewhere during this week. You will get notification about it.
For future: just post Your Public actors related questions to "Issues" tab of the Public Actor. That's the best way to communicate, as You get info directly from developers, who knows scraper the best. Don't need to repost it to Descord.
Thanks.
Well, I think the response time in the issues tab is somewhat slow, and for the first question I posted there I got a "solution" that didn't work. Getting experiences from other users is always interesting when experiencing issues, regardless of answers from the developers who develop the scraper.
