No findings.

• mapsdata_search_categories

  Search the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape. CALL THIS FIRST, before mapsdata_start_scrape: a scrape's query must be one of these exact categories, and a free-text guess like 'plumbing companies' is rejected.

• mapsdata_list_regions

  List the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country. Submit them verbatim. Abbreviations like 'TX' are rejected, because the postal tables key on the full name.

• mapsdata_start_scrape

  Start scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails. Returns IMMEDIATELY with a job id; the scrape itself takes 5 minutes to several hours. Before calling this, confirm the category with mapsdata_search_categories and the region with mapsdata_list_regions. Those two mistakes are the overwhelming majority of rejections. This consumes the user's monthly lead allowance. Set dry_run to check a request against every rule without spending anything.

• mapsdata_get_scrape

  Get the current state of one scrape. This is an INSTANT SNAPSHOT of a job that runs for minutes to hours. Do NOT call it repeatedly in a loop. Read next_action in the response and follow it; MapsData also emails the user when a scrape finishes.

• mapsdata_list_scrapes

  List this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.

• mapsdata_cancel_scrape

  Cancel a queued or running scrape. A queued scrape costs nothing. CANCELLING A RUNNING SCRAPE STILL BILLS the leads already delivered, so confirm with the user before calling this.

• mapsdata_get_download_link

  Get a link to a finished scrape's results. The link expires in 15 minutes, so hand it to the user promptly rather than storing it.

• mapsdata_get_usage

  How much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows. Read max_rows_this_scrape before choosing a total_limit.
