Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-maps-scraper 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Google Maps Scraper

Turn a business type and a location into clean lead rows by driving the local engine's job API.

Mental model

The engine (gosom/google-maps-scraper) runs as a local Docker container with a REST API at http://localhost:8080. It has no auth, so it stays bound to localhost. A scrape is an async job: create it, poll until it is done, then download a CSV. One job can run many keywords. Each result has up to 34 raw fields.

Step 0: Check the engine is running

curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/v1/jobs >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo UP || echo DOWN

If DOWN: run docker compose up -d from the kit root, wait ~10s, and retry. If Docker is not installed, point the user to SETUP.md.

Step 1: Create a job (POST /api/v1/jobs)

Required fields. The API returns 422 without them:

  • keywords: array of search strings. Bake the location into each term: "plumbers in Denver CO".
  • lat, lon: strings, the city's coordinates: "39.7392", "-104.9903".
  • max_time: integer seconds, the job's wall-clock limit, e.g. 300. The API stores it as nanoseconds internally, but you always send seconds.

Recommended fields:

  • depth (default 10): how far to scroll, so roughly how many listings per keyword. Start at 5.
  • lang "en", zoom 15 (city level), radius 10000 (meters), fast_mode false.
  • email true: on by default in the kit. Emails are the most valuable lead field. The engine visits each business website to find them, which is a little slower. Set false only for a deliberately fast run without emails.
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/jobs \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"job","keywords":["coffee shops in Austin TX"],"lang":"en","zoom":15,
       "lat":"30.2672","lon":"-97.7431","fast_mode":false,"radius":10000,
       "depth":5,"email":true,"max_time":300}'
# → {"id":"<uuid>"}   (HTTP 201; note: lowercase "id")

Handle two things on every scrape:

  1. Emails: on by default (email:true). Turn them off only if the user wants a fast run.
  2. Socials: ask first. Before creating the job, ask the user once whether they also want Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn profiles (see "Social profiles" below). Never skip the question silently.

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.
