Google Business Data API
Search Google's businesses by category, by name or within a radius of a coordinate, and get their rating, review count, phone, website and location. The same endpoint returns one business's full profile and its reviews, with text, rating, date and the owner's reply.

I first came across Semust on LinkedIn, back when it was just starting to gain attention. Curious, I decided to give it a try—and it’s now become one of my favorite tools. What I appreciate most is how it handles many tasks that I used to perform manually with a single click, which makes my job significantly easier. Seeing how quickly it has evolved since the first time I used it also inspires confidence.
