# Listly Hack: All the ways to scrape Google Maps

Everyone thinks scraping Google Maps reviews requires coding skills or expensive tools. Well, it doesn't. Here are two hacks that get you every review in minutes — no code, no headaches!

## 🧙 Hack #1: Listly Part

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open any place on Google Maps and hit the **Reviews** tab

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click the \[Listly] extension and hit the \[Part] button

Then you'll be redirected to Listly's Result page, where you'll find the reviews.

#### 🤫 The secret

Google Maps only loads reviews as you scroll. So here's the trick most people miss:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Scroll the review panel all the way down before you click.** Every review you load is a review you can capture. The more you scroll, the more you can scrape.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download your data

Click **Excel** or **Google Sheets** to download your data!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.listly.io/about/blog/listly-hack-all-the-ways-to-scrape-google-maps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
