Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does this differ from traditional Google Maps scrapers?

Traditional scrapers crawl entire place listings. This Actor inspects individual review permalinks to definitively verify whether a specific review is ACTIVE, REMOVED, or HIDDEN.

Q: Why is pure HTTP faster and cheaper?

By executing direct protocol requests without running headless Chromium or Puppeteer, compute costs are slashed to bash and runs complete in milliseconds.

Q: Can I automate periodic review health sweeps?

Yes. Schedule weekly or monthly runs with your client review URLs to immediately flag unexpected deletions.

Q: Does it track changes in review text or star rating?

Yes. By comparing output datasets between runs, you can immediately detect when a reviewer edited their rating or text.
