# Bulk Google Maps Photo Download, One Row Per Photo
Every photo a place has on Google Maps, as structured rows: full-size URL, thumbnail, gallery position, and a stable ID you can dedupe on.
## When to use this skill
- The user wants to "download google maps photos" for a business, or for many businesses at once.
- They need imagery for a directory, listings site, travel app, or training dataset.
- They want a "google maps images api" or "place photos api" they can call from code.
- They already have Google Maps URLs or place identifiers and want the galleries behind them.
Not for: Street View and 360 panoramas (use the companion apify-google-street-view-api skill), place details like ratings and hours (`johnvc/google-maps-places-api`), or review text (`johnvc/google-maps-contributor-reviews-api`). See `references/actor-index.md`.
## What you get
One dataset row per photo. `result_type` separates the row kinds:
- `image` (full-size URL) and `thumbnail` (smaller preview of the same shot)
- `position`, where it sits in the place's gallery
- `photo_id`, stable across runs, which is what makes scheduled refreshes cheap
- `data_id` and `place_title`, the place the photo belongs to
- `category_id` when a gallery filter was applied
- one `place_summary` row per place with `photos_returned`, `pages_fetched`, and `place_categories`
It does not return captions, EXIF, contributor names, or upload dates.
