Our goal is to scrape all the Google Maps reviews from the stores of the WMF group.
To do so we decided to fork the "Google Maps Scraper" project. We chose it because it is quite fast, lightweight and completely automated. If you want to check out the original project go here.
Also, for more info on the forked project check out the original README file.
