Scavio for Local Business Search

The Problem

Building local business directories requires Google Maps data: names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, and hours. The official Google Places API is expensive and rate-limited.

How Scavio Helps

• Google Maps business listings with full details
• Ratings, review counts, and business hours
• Phone numbers, websites, and addresses
• Filter by business type and location

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google Maps for "restaurants downtown chicago":

import requests

API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query, "tbs": "lcl"},
)

data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
    print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")

Built for Directory apps, local marketing agencies, city guide apps

Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your local business search solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
