What problem does it solve? Building targeted prospect lists for cold outreach requires manually collecting local business data from Google Maps, which is slow and error-prone. This Skill automates scraping businesses by category and location (zip code, city, or state) and outputs a deduplicated CSV ready for enrichment. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bulk Location Scraping: Search any business category across thousands of US zip codes using the bundled 42,734-entry zip database, filtered by state, city, or minimum population. - Rate-Limited API Client: TypeScript client for the RapidAPI Maps Data API with 2 req/sec throttling, exponential backoff retries, and automatic deduplication by place_id. - Cold Email Pipeline Integration: Output CSV feeds directly into downstream skills like /blitz-list-builder for owner discovery and /email-waterfall for email enrichment. - Use Case: A sales team targeting dentists in Texas runs the scraper with --state=TX --min-pop=5000, gets a CSV of practices with phone, website, and ratings, then qualifies the list before paying for contact enrichment. ## Quick Start Scrape Google Maps for pizza restaurants in zip codes 10014, 10013, and 10012 and save the results to a CSV file.
