Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- locationstring
Denver, CO
The US city to search, with its state (e.g. Denver, CO or Austin, TX).
- querystring
plumber
The service to find businesses for, in everyday words (e.g. plumber, electrician, house cleaning, roofer).
- limitinteger
5
Maximum number of businesses to return (1-20, default 20). Google lists at most 20 businesses for one service in one city, so there are no further pages.
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `yearsInBusiness` or `hours`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be null on a business that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
