Google Maps Search
Search Google Maps for places matching a query and location: up to 20 normalized place records with ratings, addresses, and contact basics per request.
Price: $2.97 per 1,000 requests (flat per request - same cost regardless of results returned).
Routing: 2 independent lanes - a failed attempt fails over to the next lane automatically, and the same normalized schema comes back either way.

Headers
Optional wallet idempotency key, scoped to this customer for 24 hours. When the gateway honors the key, this synchronous in-process execution can continue after the caller disconnects, bounded by its execution deadline. A completed replayable result charges normally exactly once and can be replayed without another provider run or charge. A pending duplicate returns 409 idempotency_in_progress; reuse with different request semantics returns 409 idempotency_conflict.
1 - 255Query Parameters
Optional. Comma-separated keys (dotted paths like author.name descend into nested objects) to keep on each result item. Keys are matched relative to each result item after the data/items envelope is unwrapped, not against the top-level response envelope, so use jq to reshape the whole envelope. Shrinks the response without changing cost.
Optional. Cap the number of result rows returned; a _truncated note reports how many were withheld so you can page via the API's own limit. Does not change cost.
x >= 0Optional. Return only a structural outline (top-level keys, item counts, and per-field byte sizes) instead of the full data. Does not change cost.
Optional. A jq expression applied to the result envelope; its output replaces output (multiple outputs collect into an array). Reshape freely, e.g. jq=.data | {title, description, md: .markdown[:3500]}. Runs sandboxed with a 250ms / 2MB budget; on failure the full result is returned with a jqError. Does not change cost.
Body
Free-text location to search in, ideally city plus country (e.g. Austin, USA).
1What you would type in the Google Maps search bar (e.g. coffee shop).
Optional list of Google Maps place-category names to keep; results are limited to places whose category matches one of these. Use lowercase category names as shown on Google Maps (e.g. ["coffee shop", "restaurant"]). Omit to include all categories.
Two-letter language code for the results (e.g. en).
Maximum number of results to return (1-20, default 20). Pricing depends on the selected provider and may be flat per request.
1 <= x <= 20Only return places with at least this average rating: two (2+), twoAndHalf (2.5+), three (3+), threeAndHalf (3.5+), four (4+), or fourAndHalf (4.5+). Places with no reviews are excluded. Omit for no rating filter.
two, twoAndHalf, three, threeAndHalf, four, fourAndHalf Filter places by whether they list a website: allPlaces (default), withWebsite (only places that have a website), or withoutWebsite (only places without one).
allPlaces, withWebsite, withoutWebsite Response
Normalized result.
USD charged on the original run. On a replay this value is echoed for parity; the replay itself is free.
Normalized output, or null when the replay payload was not retained.
Always "AnyAPI".
True when this response replays the durable result of an earlier run without billing or upstream execution.
Number of result rows returned. For per-result SKUs the per-item cost is charged against this count; for input-priced SKUs the charge is per submitted input, independent of this count.
Present only when a jq expression failed; output then carries the full unshaped result and this explains why the reshape did not apply.
Opaque handle to the full unshaped result, cached ~15 min. Re-shape it for free (fields/max_items/summary/jq) via GET /v1/results/{id}, no re-billing. Absent when the result was too large to cache.
