What problem does it solve? Building targeted cold outreach lists of local businesses requires manually searching Google Maps and copying results one by one. This Skill automates that collection, producing a deduplicated CSV of businesses with names, addresses, phones, websites, and ratings for any category and location. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bulk location scraping: Search any business category across zip codes, cities, or entire US states using a bundled database of 42,734 zip codes with population filtering. - Rate-limited API client: TypeScript client for the RapidAPI Maps Data API with 2 requests/second throttling, exponential backoff retries, and deduplication by place_id. - Cold email pipeline integration: Output CSV feeds directly into downstream enrichment steps like owner discovery and email waterfall tools. - Use Case: A sales team targeting dentists in Texas runs the scraper with --state=TX --min-pop=5000, gets a CSV of thousands of dental practices, qualifies a sample with an ICP prompt, then enriches the filtered list with owner contacts. ## Quick Start Scrape Google Maps for pizza restaurants in zip codes 10014, 10013, and 10012 and export the results to a CSV file using my RapidAPI key.
