We are excited to announce the official release of Google Maps Extractor 4.0.0.
This version represents a major upgrade, jumping directly from v3.2.0 to v4.0.0, with a strong focus on improving business website and contact data extraction accuracy from Google Maps.
In real-world usage, extracting company websites from Google Maps listings is often more complex than it appears. Different regions, industries, and website technologies introduce significant challenges—especially when websites rely on JavaScript rendering or anti-scraping protections.
Version 4.0.0 is designed specifically to solve these problems.
Why Upgrade Directly from 3.2.0 to 4.0.0?
During the 3.x release cycle, we observed a recurring issue reported by many users:
- Some business websites could not be fully loaded via HTTP requests
- Contact information such as emails or phone numbers was missing
- Websites protected by Cloudflare or built with modern JS frameworks failed to return usable content
These issues are not caused by poor extraction rules, but by the limitations of a single-engine approach.
That is why Google Maps Extractor 4.0.0 introduces a completely new architecture.
Dual Engine Extraction: HTTP + CEF
What Is the Dual Engine System?
Google Maps Extractor 4.0.0 uses a dual engine extraction system:
- HTTP Engine
- Fast and lightweight
- Ideal for standard and static business websites
- Low resource consumption
- CEF Browser Engine (Chromium Embedded Framework)
- Real browser rendering
- Full JavaScript execution
- Capable of handling SPA websites and anti-bot protections
Intelligent Engine Switching (Fully Automatic)
Unlike traditional tools that require manual mode selection, Google Maps Extractor works automatically:
- The extractor first attempts to load the business website using the HTTP engine
- The system evaluates page completeness and data availability
- If the HTTP result is incomplete or blocked, it automatically switches to the CEF browser engine
- Extraction continues seamlessly without user intervention
This intelligent switching ensures higher success rates while maintaining optimal performance.
Significantly Improved Website & Contact Data Accuracy
With the dual engine architecture, version 4.0.0 delivers noticeable improvements in:
- Business website detection accuracy
- Email and phone number extraction
- Support for JavaScript-heavy websites
- Reduced empty or invalid data records
This is especially valuable for users who rely on Google Maps data for lead generation, such as:
- B2B companies
- Exporters and international traders
- Marketing agencies
- Data-driven sales teams
What This Means for Existing Users
If you are already using Google Maps Extractor 3.x:
- No workflow changes are required
- No additional configuration is needed
- Simply upgrade to 4.0.0 to benefit from higher extraction accuracy
The goal of this update is simple:
more reliable data with the same effort.
