Google Maps Scraper Kit is a local tool that collects business listings from Google Maps and saves selected contact and business details as CSV files. It is for lead generation and can be operated through Claude Code, with optional website email and social-profile collection.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00721 | $0.00721 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00288 | $0.00288 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00144 | $0.00144 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
google-maps-scraper-kit CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

CLAUDE.md: Google Maps Scraper Kit
You are working inside the Google Maps Scraper Kit. The kit runs a local Google Maps scraper for lead generation, and you drive it for the user.
What the kit is
A local Docker deployment of the open-source engine gosom/google-maps-scraper, exposed as a REST API
at http://localhost:8080, plus a skill that teaches you to use it. It scrapes Google Maps
business listings only, not social media.
When the user asks for businesses, a list of places or lead data
Load and follow the google-maps-scraper skill (.claude/skills/google-maps-scraper/SKILL.md).
It has the exact API flow, the required fields, and the best-practice and safety rules. Do not write
the API calls from memory. Use the skill.
Slash commands
The kit ships four commands in .claude/commands/ that map to the skill: /scrape (single query),
/scrape-batch (many queries, one job), /scrape-setup (start the engine), /scrape-jobs (list or delete).
Local commands are pre-approved in .claude/settings.json, so you can run them without prompting the user.
Rate limits: warn, don't block
If a request is large (high depth, many keywords, repeated runs, a grid, or email:true), proceed,
but first print ONE short warning that heavy use can get the user's IP temporarily rate-limited by
Google, and suggest proxies. Do NOT gate or demand confirmation for a normal big scrape. Refuse only
clearly abusive use (surveilling individuals, spam). The skill has the full guidance.
Hard facts you must not get wrong
- API base:
http://localhost:8080, with no auth because it is bound to localhost. Never expose it publicly. - Create a job with
POST /api/v1/jobs. These body fields are required, or it returns 422:max_time(in seconds, e.g.300),latandlon(as strings), andkeywords(array). - The create response is
{"id":"<uuid>"}(lowercaseid). Check status withGET /api/v1/jobs/{id}; its field is"Status", and it becomes"ok"when done. - Poll in the background. The Bash tool blocks foreground
sleep. Run the poll loop as a background command (run_in_background: true) and read its output file when notified. - Before a big job (high depth, many keywords), tell the user the cost once: time and IP rate-limit risk. Then proceed.
- Scraped emails and phones are personal data. Do not dump large CSVs into chat: summarize and save to disk.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
