What This Skill Does
Scrapes business data from Google Maps using BrowserAct's API template. Returns structured results including business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, and review counts. Accepts search keywords plus country and language parameters to scope the query.
BrowserAct's template handles CAPTCHA bypass and IP geo-restrictions automatically, avoiding the blockers that break standard web scraping approaches.
