Alternative to Google Maps API Radar Search

With Radar search being taken off, are there any other alternatives that Google has proposed (or any other source, if not Google) to get information on all businesses in a given location.

In the end I am interested in obtaining a list of all business in a city, say Delhi, legally (I guess web scraping Google Maps would be illegal).

Google Maps Radar Search - https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search

Thanks for the response.

From https://maps-apis.googleblog.com/2017/06/announcing-deprecation-of-place-add.html:

"Nearby Search can work as an alternative for Radar Search, when used with rankby=distance and without keyword or name."

If you are searching for a specific business type, you could specify a "type" as a parameter with Nearby Search from this list
