Amazing! 😁

Do you plan on writing more posts using it to showcase?

I would love to see the typical stand-alone example of a google maps crawler using Playwright and Crawlee! 😍

If you don't mind an actual production grade example then this Google Maps scraper uses Apify SDK v2, from which we spun Crawlee off. Apify SDK and Crawlee interface is almost the same.

Crawlee is essentially Apify SDK v3, without the things that could only be used on the Apify platform. If you wish, you can read here, why we did the spin off.

We will migrate the Google Maps scraper to Crawlee soon, to leverage some of the new features.
