Dataify Google Map Details

Submit Google Maps detail collection jobs through Dataify Builder. This skill is a guided wrapper for four collection modes:

After a successful submission, give the user the task_id, the returned or inferred status, and tell them to visit https://dataify.com/dashboard/ to view results.

API TOKEN Handling

Use DATAIFY_API_TOKEN as the long-term saved token name.

• If the user provides a token in the request, use it for this run.
• If no token is provided, first check whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is already saved locally in the environment.
• If DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is saved locally, use it without asking the user to re-enter the token.
• If no token is available locally, tell the user they need to provide a Dataify API TOKEN.
• If the user does not have an API TOKEN, tell them they can register or log in at https://dataify.com/login to get one.
• If the user already has an API TOKEN, tell them it is available in the top-right area of https://dataify.com/dashboard/.
• After the user provides an API TOKEN and no local DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is saved, ask whether they want to save it locally as DATAIFY_API_TOKEN for future use.
• If the user wants to save it, give the appropriate command for their shell and ask them to run it; do not silently persist tokens without confirmation.
• Do not call the Builder endpoint without a token.
• Always call it API TOKEN in user-facing instructions. Prefer the environment variable name DATAIFY_API_TOKEN for saved local use.

PowerShell examples for saving the token for the current session:

$env:DATAIFY_API_TOKEN = "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN"

For a persistent user-level variable on Windows:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "YOUR_DATAIFY_API_TOKEN", "User")

Core Workflow

1. First ask the user to choose a collection mode: url, cid, location, or placeid.
2. After the user chooses a mode, show only that mode's parameter table and defaults.
3. For location mode, show the country dropdown options as a Markdown table with Label and Value columns. Use references/google_countries.md.
4. Ask whether the user wants to change any value before running the task.
5. Ask whether the user wants to collect multiple Google map detail groups for the selected mode.
6. Normalize the final values into a list of parameter objects for the selected mode only.
7. Resolve the Dataify token from explicit input or saved DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.
8. If no token is available, ask the user to enter their API TOKEN and ask whether to save it as DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.
9. Validate the selected mode, URL, CID, place ID, keyword, country, numeric values, and file name.
10. Submit the Builder request with the selected mode's spider_id.
11. Read data.task_id from the Builder response and read data.status or status when present.
12. Stop after Builder succeeds.
13. Tell the user to visit https://dataify.com/dashboard/ to view or manage results.

Mode Selection

When the user invokes this skill, first show this Markdown table and ask them to choose one mode:

Ask: "Which collection mode do you want to use: url, cid, location, or placeid?"

Do not submit a Builder request until the mode is clear.

URL Mode Parameters

Use this section only when the user chooses url.

Ask whether the user wants to change any value, and whether they want multiple URL groups.

Submit spider_id=google_map-details_by-url and spider_parameters like:

[{"url":"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pizza+Inn+Magdeburg/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x47a5f50c083530a3:0xfdba8746b538141!8m2!3d52.1263086!4d11.6094743!16s%2Fg%2F11kqmtk3dt!19sChIJozA1CAz1pUcRQYFTa3So2w8?authuser=0&hl=en&rclk=1"}]

CID Mode Parameters

Use this section only when the user chooses cid.

Ask whether the user wants to change any value, and whether they want multiple CID groups.

Submit spider_id=google_map-details_by-cid and spider_parameters like:

[{"CID":"2476046430038551731"}]

Location Mode Parameters

Use this section only when the user chooses location.

Then show the full country dropdown table from references/google_countries.md.

Ask whether the user wants to change any value, and whether they want multiple location groups.

Submit spider_id=google_map-details_by-location and spider_parameters like:

[{"keyword":"pizza","country":"us","lat":"38","long":"77","zoom_level":"20"}]

Place ID Mode Parameters

Use this section only when the user chooses placeid.

Ask whether the user wants to change any value, and whether they want multiple place ID groups.

Submit spider_id=google_map-details_by-placeid and spider_parameters like:

[{"place_id":"ChIJ3S-JXmauEmsRUcIaWtf4MzE"}]

Shared File Name Handling

• file_name defaults to {{TasksID}}.
• If the user changes file_name, submit the user-provided value.
• file_name cannot be empty.
• Send file_name as a Builder form field.

Dataify Builder Request

Use form fields rather than hand-built URL-encoded strings.

• URL: https://scraperapi.dataify.com/builder?platform=1
• Method: POST
• Authorization header: Bearer DATAIFY_API_TOKEN
• Content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• Fixed fields:
  • spider_name=google.com
  • spider_errors=true
• Mode-specific field:
  • URL mode: spider_id=google_map-details_by-url
  • CID mode: spider_id=google_map-details_by-cid
  • Location mode: spider_id=google_map-details_by-location
  • Place ID mode: spider_id=google_map-details_by-placeid
• Default field:
  • file_name={{TasksID}}
• Dynamic field:
  • spider_parameters must be a JSON string array.

Script

For stable execution, prefer scripts/submit_dataify_google_map_details.py with Python 3.6 or newer instead of rewriting the Builder flow.

python3 ".\scripts\submit_dataify_google_map_details.py" --mode location --keyword "pizza" --country "us" --lat "38" --long "77" --zoom-level "20"

The script supports --params-json for multiple groups and prints a JSON summary with mode, spider_id, task_id, status, parameters, file_name, dashboard_url, and message.

Troubleshooting

Missing Dataify API TOKEN means no explicit token was passed and DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is not saved locally. Tell the user they need to provide their Dataify API TOKEN, ask whether they want to save it as DATAIFY_API_TOKEN, or tell them they can register or log in at https://dataify.com/login to get one. If they already have a token, tell them it is in the top-right area of https://dataify.com/dashboard/.

Unsupported mode means the mode must be url, cid, location, or placeid.

url must start with https://www.google.com/maps/ means the URL is outside the allowed Google Maps URL pattern.

country must be one of the allowed Google country values means the country dropdown value is invalid.

zoom_level must be an integer greater than or equal to 0 means the zoom value is invalid.

lat must be numeric or long must be numeric means a coordinate is invalid.

File name cannot be empty means no usable file_name was provided.

Guardrails

• Do not mix URL, CID, Location, and Place ID mode parameters in the same Builder request.
• Do not submit a Builder request until the mode is clear.
• Do not put file_name inside spider_parameters.
• Use only API TOKEN and DATAIFY_API_TOKEN when referring to authentication.
• Do not hard-code local Python paths.
• Do not invent result fields.
• Always direct the user to https://dataify.com/dashboard/ after successful task creation.
