Google maps scraper

At a glance

A community member is trying to scrape the directories (shops, restaurants, etc.) of shopping centres in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but is not getting the anticipated results. They have configured the scraper with the search term "shopping centre", set "Scrape inside places" and "Deeper city scrape" to On, and provided the Google Maps URL. However, the scraper is only pulling the shopping centres and not the directory information. The community member is asking if there is something they need to modify to achieve the desired results.

In the comments, another community member has provided a link to the results, but there is no explicitly marked answer. Another comment suggests using the Issues tab of the actor.

Useful resources
I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I'm trying to scrape the directories (i.e. the shops, restaurants etc. of shopping centres but not getting the anticipated results.

I've configured the scraper:
Search Term: shopping centre
Scrape inside places: On
Deeper city scrape: On
Country: Saudi Arabia
City: Riyadh
Google maps URL: https://www.google.com/maps/search/"shopping+centre"+riyadh/@24.6818022,46.6061579,11z/data=!4m7!2m6!3m4!2s24.7618068,46.625421499999995!4m2!1d46.6254215!2d24.7618068!6e6?entry=ttu

The scraper is correctly pulling the shopping centres but it's not including the directory of shops, restaurants etc.

Is there something I need to modify to achieve this?

Thanks for your assistance with this and hope you've all had a happy Christmas!
