I want to extract some data from Google Maps, I tried before with OSM but the result doesn't satisfy me enough.

What I need exactly, is there any way to take the data description from a feature on Google Maps like "phone number from some store".

    Please describe what you tried, how the result is not satisfactory, how you imagine your final workflow and what your research yielded.

    I downloaded data from "open street map" but I could not find the data I need, such as the phone numbers of the stores, It only gave me incomplete data when I looked inside the data, Some data don't even have a name! Commented May 6, 2020 at 6:41
  • What did you expect from a free, open source service with data added by volunteers? Feel free to contribute, if you're that unsatisfied. This still leaves the second part of my question.

  • I mean the "data"not the people who provide the service! Commented May 6, 2020 at 6:56
  • Please get familiar with the concept of OSM.

StackOverflow has a good answer to this question. Basically it involves these steps:

  1. Get an API key for the Google Places API
  2. Use Place Search request
  3. Use returned token in a Place Details request
  4. Retrieve formatted_phone_number and international_phone_number
