The Google Maps scraper can gather a breakdown of the number of review stars given for a place.
The output will look something like this.
Next to the place rating, you get a detailed count of how many 1 - 5 stars was given by reviewers.
Create a Google maps task.
Enter the maps query
To gather review stars make sure ‘reviews’ is ticked.
While gathering reviews, SCM will gather a count of review stars automatically.
Hit run!
Is this breakdown based on the total number of reviews??? .. or just the ones downloaded? Even if we download only 10 reviews, we still need the total breakdown of ALL their reviews, not just the ones downloaded. ie, if i download 10 reviews, I still need to know that they had 382 5-star reviews and 13 1-star reviews, etc. Otherwise to get that info, we would have to download all the reviews, which as we know is impossible with Google as they cap the number of reviews you can download.
Yeh I can change it to return what it finds, but it made sense for it to match what the limit is.
Do we have the option? we really need the TOTAL breakdown .. not just ones we downloaded. To cover all bases .. here’s a suggestion:
INCLUDE BOTH:
Otherwise we have no access to that data .. which is freely available to scrape.
It returns count of what was found scrolling down the list.
The more reviews you get the more accurate it is.
