# Google Maps / Google My Business Scraper 🌎📊
This is script is a scraping script developed with Python and its automation library Selenium. **Consists of reading a list of keywords, searching them in the Google Maps search, and getting its data and cover image**.
The script goes one by one searching for the keyword, and storing the data in a list, to finally export it to an Excel file located in the folder specified by the user when running the script.
In the presentation video I show the script running without hiding the Chrome window, and it can be seen quite clear the process that the script follows.
However, although I have added [that version](build/maps_scraper_juaristech_windowed_demo.exe) in the build folder, the final version and the one it is in the source code, works without showing the Chrome window, because it works with 5 simultaneous threads to increase the speed and obtain the results faster.
For now the script works only for Spanish and English languages, however, I can add more languages in the future.

## How to Run It
To execute this script you need to run it in the command prompt.
```bash
google_maps_scraper_juaristech.exe
```
Then, some questions will appear, which are necessary to run the script:
1. You will need to type "ES" for Spanish or "EN" for English.
```bash
[1] Introduce the language, (ES o EN):
```
2. You will need to specify the folder to save the output Excel and images. For example: *D:\Projects\Spain\Madrid\output\\*
```bash
[2] Introduce the path to save the images:
```
3. To finish, you need to specify where is located the *.txt* file with the keywords to search. For example: *D:\Projects\Spain\Madrid\places.txt*
```bash
[3] Introduce the path of the keywords txt file:
```
Then the script starts to work, and when it finished, the Excel file would appear in the output folder.
