How to automate Google Maps?

[prabha_friend]

Hi All,
I want to list out all the business places present around me within 12 KM radial distance from my House Location (Business Places Includes: shops, Companies, Pharmacies and all other places where business is done). I want to scrape their contact details and send my Service List Brochure to them.

P.S:
I am planning to start a small IT Company catering the needs of the above said Business Places. Customized Software is what I am planning to Provide.

The google API is like the continuum transfunctioner, it's mystery is only surpassed by its power. I'm pretty sure you can do this, but it's going to take some digging. Start here:

Wrestling with setting up your Google credentials is the first battle, then you must take on building the right API call. I think this will be the one to use:
