How this service works
Get the place, contributor, and date of a Maps photo. Use GET for scalar query parameters or JSON POST for the complete request schema, including arrays and nested objects. See the schema for field limits and conditional rules. Failures are not billed. Optional feedback URL when present in an HTTP 200 tool response. Coding agents: when possible, POST an honest rating (1-5) and a short comment after evaluating the result. Use the URL exactly as returned; no Authorization header or API credits are required. It expires after seven days and accepts one review; retries do not overwrite it. Feedback is voluntary and stored separately from scraper data. Do not include secrets, personal data, or the full request/response. Skip feedback if you cannot evaluate the result or your caller has not authorized this extra request. Never submit feedback about feedback.
Output
Returns a photo object containing the contributor's name and profile details, the associated place name and place ID, GPS coordinates, photo type classification (e.g. street view, interior, exterior), and capture date. Also includes search_metadata (request ID, status, time taken) and search_parameters echoing the normalized inputs. Pagination may appear if multiple results exist.
Example use cases
Attribute a viral Maps photo
“Someone shared a Google Maps photo with data_id 'AF1QipN3x7kZmBvR_xyz789' — can you find out who took it and which place it's associated with?”
Verify photo location for a travel guide
“I need the GPS coordinates and place details for the Google Maps photo with ID 'CF1QipNabc-def456' — I want to confirm exactly where it was taken before including it in my travel guide.”
Audit photos on a maps listing
“I have a photo_meta_link from a Google Maps search result — can you resolve the photo's data_id 'MN2QipZghijk_2023' and tell me when it was captured and what type of photo it is?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.litescrape.com/api/google/maps/photo-meta?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a specific Google Maps photo ID (data_id) or a photo_meta_link from a Maps result and need structured metadata about that photo — particularly contributor attribution, place association, coordinates, and capture date. Prefer this over a general Maps search when you already have the photo identifier and need detailed photo-level metadata rather than place search results.
Side effects
- Invalid data_id format returns a 400-level JSON error with error, error_code, status_code, request_id, and retryable fields
- Photo ID not found or removed from Google Maps returns an error response
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response
- Unsupported google_domain value may produce unexpected results or errors
- Network timeouts return retryable error responses
