Tools it offers

8 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

• mapsdata_search_categoriesSearch the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape. CALL THIS FIRST, before mapsdata_start_scrape: a scrape's query must be one of these exact categories, and a free-text guess like 'plumbing companies' is re
• mapsdata_list_regionsList the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country. Submit them verbatim. Abbreviations like 'TX' are rejected; use the full name.
• mapsdata_start_scrapeStart scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails. Returns IMMEDIATELY with a job id; the scrape itself takes 5 minutes to several hours. Before calling this, confirm the category with mapsdata_search_categories and
• mapsdata_get_scrapeGet the current state of one scrape. This is an INSTANT SNAPSHOT of a job that runs for minutes to hours. Do NOT call it repeatedly in a loop. The response includes next_action, the suggested next step for the job's curr
• mapsdata_list_scrapesList this organization's recent scrapes, newest first.
• mapsdata_cancel_scrapeCancel a queued or running scrape. A queued scrape costs nothing. CANCELLING A RUNNING SCRAPE STILL BILLS the leads already delivered, so confirm with the user before calling this.
• mapsdata_get_download_linkGet a link to a finished scrape's results. The link expires in 15 minutes, so hand it to the user promptly rather than storing it.
• mapsdata_get_usageHow much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows. Read max_rows_this_scrape before choosing a total_limit.
