Finding a company address

[Hosioneh]

1. Is there a way to lookup company information from google map if I have its name?

for example AIMIA is input and output is like the following. It is extracted from Google maps page.

Address: 130 King St W, Toronto, ON M5X 1K6

JJX9+46 Toronto, Ontario

Website: aimia.com

Phone+1 763-445-3500

if yes

my second question is:

2. Is there a way to look it up in a certain area such as country or city?

for example Siemens, Toronto is input and output is like the following. It is extracted from Google maps page.

Address: 1577 North Service Rd E, Oakville, ON L6H 0H6

F8QG+52 Oakville, Ontario

website: siemens.ca

Phone: (905) 465-8000

You should check out google maps api's you get a number of free searches a day - which you can expand up to something like 10,000 or 50,000 if you just for adding a credit card (but still dont pay)

then you can fetch the results from the api

sample:

search endpoint:

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?key={your-key}&query=datafox

then you grab the placeId and use like this: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?key={your-key}&placeid={place-id}

Thank you!

Is there a way to use it as a reconcile service in OR?

[Ettore Rizza]

Open Corporates offers a reconciliation service that could probably help you, but I think it's freemium. If your companies are big enough, the totally free Wikidata reconciliation service could be a solution.

[Ettore Rizza]

Sorry, I probably misenderstood your question. Did you mean: an automatic reconciliation service with Google Maps? In thiscas, the answer is no. This service does not exist yet.

[Hosioneh]

Thank you Ettore,

Yes, I mean reconcile with Google Map.

sorry to hear that it doesn't exist.
