How this service works
Searches Google Maps or resolves one exact place. With type=search, q finds businesses, categories, or addresses inside a viewport given as ll (@lat,lon,14z or @lat,lon,5000m), a named location with z or m, or lat and lon with z or m, and returns local_results (position, title, rating, reviews, address, hours, place_id, data_id, and links to posts, photos, and web results) with pagination.next for the next page of 20. With type=place, or with place_id or data_cid, it returns one place_results entry. Filter by price level, min_rating, and opening state. One call is one request.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing search_metadata (request ID, status, time taken), search_parameters (normalized inputs), and for search queries: local_results array with up to 20 places each having position, title, rating, reviews count, address, hours, place_id, data_id, and links to photos/posts/web results, plus a pagination.next URL for the next page. For place lookups: a place_results array with the single resolved place's full details.
Example use cases
Find nearby open restaurants
“Find Italian restaurants open right now within 1 km of my location at latitude 40.7580, longitude -73.9855, and filter for places rated at least 4 stars.”
Resolve exact business details by place ID
“Look up the full Google Maps details for the place with ID ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4 — I need its address, hours, rating, and review count.”
Paginate through local business search
“Search Google Maps for 'urgent care clinic' in Boston using location name 'Boston, MA' with zoom level 13, then get me the next page of 20 results after the first batch.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.litescrape.com/api/google/mapsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured Google Maps search results or place details — especially when you need rating, review count, hours, price level, and place IDs in a single call. Prefer it over Bing Maps or Apple Maps endpoints when Google Maps data quality or Google-specific place IDs are required. Use the search type for discovery queries across categories and the place type for resolving a known place's full metadata.
Side effects
- Missing required parameter (q without type=search, or place lookup without place_id/data_cid/data) returns 400 with error and error_code
- Invalid ll format or out-of-range lat/lon/z/m returns 400
- Combining mutually exclusive parameters (z and m, or place_id and data_cid) returns 400
- Place not found returns empty place_results or 404
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 or 429 with retryable flag
- Google Maps service unavailable returns 503 with retryable: true
