Google Maps Reviews ScraperThe newest Google Maps reviews of three landmarks
  • Space Needle2026-10-26★★★★★Not really worth the waiting in a seemingly endless line. Even if you buy tickets for a certain period of time it will be a large queue...
  • Space Needle2026-10-26★★★★★I didn't know, CN tower in Toronto is 3xs taller!
  • Golden Gate Bridge2026-06-10★★★★★The Golden gate bridge is awesome! You have to see it!
  • Golden Gate Bridge2025-10-19★★★★★Very iconic place. Best when the bridge is half covered with low clouds.
  • Statue of Liberty2026-10-24★★★★★Plenty to do and see. Recommend getting the ferry from Jersey as less people take that one, less wait time to get off the island.

//For scraper builders\\

Publish a scraper and keep 80%, or 10%

Both platforms run a store where developers publish scrapers and earn when people use them. The split is where they differ.

Scrape.ly

  • Creators set pay-per-event prices and keep 80% of what users pay with purchased credits.
  • Payouts by PayPal or crypto from $25, or by bank transfer from $500.
  • Build in JavaScript or Python with the scrapely CLI; existing Apify Actors and Crawlee code run with few or no changes.
  • Proxies, a hosted browser, storage and schedules come with every run.

CoreClaw

  • Developers earn a 10% revenue share on every successful record users pay for.
  • CoreClaw’s own example: 850,000 records a month earns about $760.
  • Workers in Python, Node.js or Go with CoreClaw’s SDK; most reviews take 24 hours.
  • CoreClaw runs the Workers, with proxies and anti-bot handling on its side.
