How this service works
Search business listings within a given distance of a center coordinate point. `lat`, `lng` and `radius` are all required, and any field parameter of the Search endpoint can be combined with them. **Note:** `match_count` is the total number of matching businesses, not the number returned on this page. A `cursor` is returned while further pages are available and omitted on the last page. **Note:** a query that matches nothing is not an error. The response is a `200` with an empty `businesses` array.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing an array of matching business listings with fields such as name, address, phone, rating, coordinates, business category, hours, website, Google CID, and operational status. Also includes a total match_count (not limited to the current page) and a pagination cursor for fetching subsequent pages. An empty businesses array (with status 200) is returned if no matches are found.
Example use cases
Nearby restaurant discovery for travelers
“I'm at the corner of Times Square in New York — roughly lat 40.7580, lng -73.9855. Can you find all restaurants within 500 meters and sort them by rating?”
Competitor mapping for a retail business
“I need to find all coffee shops and cafes within 1 kilometer of our new store location at lat 37.7749, lng -122.4194 in San Francisco — up to 100 results please.”
Healthcare facility locator by area
“Find all pharmacies and urgent care clinics within 3 kilometers of lat 34.0522, lng -118.2437 in Los Angeles, and include their hours and phone numbers.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/local-business-database/area-search-by-radius?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to find businesses within a circular geographic area defined by a center point and radius. Prefer it over the bounding-box variant when working with natural proximity searches (e.g. 'within 2 km of here') rather than rectangular map tiles. Ideal when you have a precise coordinate (GPS, geocoded address) and want to discover any type of local business or filter by category, name, city, or state within that area.
Side effects
- Missing required parameters (lat, lng, or radius) returns a 400 error
- Radius out of allowed range (1–100,000 meters) returns a validation error
- Invalid cursor (expired or modified) returns a pagination error
- No matching businesses returns 200 with empty businesses array (not an error)
- Authentication/payment failure returns 402 or 401
