A Google Maps extension alternative that runs in the cloud

There are dozens of Google Maps extractor extensions, and they all work the same way: they read the results your own browser has already loaded. That makes them fast, cheap and often free — and it also means your list is limited to what one search view can show you, while your laptop stays open. Hubertino does the same job server-side, with the contact data extensions usually can't reach.

Pick Hubertino if you…

  • want jobs to run in the cloud instead of tying up your browser
  • need a whole city or region, not one search view's worth of results
  • want emails and socials crawled from each business's website
  • want an API, saved jobs and exports you can rerun

Stick with an extension if you…

  • only need a handful of businesses from the map you're already looking at
  • want zero signup and zero cost for tiny, occasional grabs
  • prefer working visually on the live page rather than in a separate app

Questions

What's the main limitation of Google Maps scraper extensions?

They can only take what your browser can see. Google's results feed shows roughly 100-120 businesses per search, so that's the ceiling — and because the work happens in your tab, the machine has to stay awake and the job competes with whatever else you're doing.

Why don't most extensions give me emails?

Emails aren't on the Google Maps listing. Getting them means visiting each business's own website and crawling it, which is a server-side job. Hubertino does that for every business in the list and includes it in the same credit.

Are Google Maps extensions safe to use?

That varies a lot by extension, and it's worth checking permissions before installing anything that reads pages you're logged into. Hubertino runs entirely on our servers, so nothing is installed in your browser and nothing touches your Google session.

Is an extension ever good enough?

Often, yes. For twenty nearby businesses to call this afternoon, an extension is quicker and usually free. Hubertino earns its keep when the list is hundreds or thousands of businesses and you need contacts attached.

Is scraping Google Maps legal?

Hubertino collects publicly available business information — the same listings anyone sees on Google Maps. You're responsible for using the data lawfully (e.g. B2B outreach rules in your market). Our privacy policy covers how business-listing data is handled, including removal requests.

Does Hubertino have an API?

Yes — a simple REST API (create a scrape, poll status, fetch results, export files) with Bearer-key auth, included on every plan.
