I made an app to scrape buisness data, emails, social media accounts, reviews and present them in a sleek beautiful UI.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience launching my second lifetime app yesterday. 🎉

A while back, I built ScrapeTheMap for my own project, and today, I quietly launched it on Product Hunt. It only got 5 upvotes in 1 day (lol), but honestly, I’m surprised it even got that much—because when I launched my first app, I didn’t even get 1 upvote.

But guess what? That first app got acquired after 3 months for $30k, just from me marketing and selling it on my own.

How Scrapethemap Started

I was working on a wedding venue directory for a client and needed to gather every wedding venue in the U.S.—along with important details like:
✅ Name, address, and ratings
✅ Emails & social media links
✅ Reviews & photos from Google Maps

I searched for existing tools, but everything I found was both too expensive and lacked essential features, or the free one’s were limited in their features and usage. So, I decided to build my own tool.

As I worked on it, I realized it wasn’t just useful for directories—it could also be a powerful lead generation tool.and There was also no simple GUI software for Google Maps competitor analysis I could find, so I expanded it even further.

Here is some stats for Data I Collected (for Wedding Venues)

📍 ~13,000 places (venues + related businesses)
📧 7,000-8,000 emails📲 6,000-7,000 Facebook & Instagram links📞 12,000+ phone numbers🗂 Tons of other business details

Here’s the spreadsheet if you want to check it out:  Sheet
