Bing Maps Places Scraper

Use this Bing Maps scraper to export public business listings for local SEO, lead generation, competitor research, and market analysis.

Input settings

Who is it for?

This Actor is designed for local SEO specialists, lead-generation teams, agencies, sales researchers, and analysts who need repeatable place exports from Bing rather than manual map searches.

Use cases

• Build local business prospect lists from an alternative maps index.
• Track which businesses rank for category/location combinations.
• Compare local coverage across cities and markets.
• Enrich market research with public websites, phones, ratings, and coordinates.

Input recipes

Single market scan

{"searchQueries":["coffee shops"],"locations":["Austin, TX"],"maxPlacesPerQuery":50}

Overlapping lead searches with website deduplication

{"searchQueries":["dentists","dental clinics"],"locations":["Boston, MA"],"dedupeBy":"website"}

Tips and limits

• Use precise locations for locally relevant rankings.
• Result availability and optional fields depend on Bing Maps coverage.
• A run deduplicates overlapping results but preserves the rank and provenance of the first saved match.
• Large query batches may finish partially near the run timeout; already saved rows remain available.
