How this service works

Search business listings by any combination of the fields below, sent as a JSON body. Same results as the GET form, and the form to use when the query is too long for a URL - for example a list of up to 32 values on several fields at once. At least one of the filter parameters below is required for search. This form also accepts an area: either `bottom_left` with `top_right`, or `lat` with `lng` and `radius`. **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 a paginated array of business listings, each with fields such as business ID, name, address, city, state, country, phone, website domain, latitude, longitude, Google CID, average rating, operational status, and optionally a free-text summary and structured attribute map. Also includes the total match count and a pagination cursor when more pages are available.

Example use cases

Multi-city competitor research

“Search for all coffee shops named 'Blue Bottle' across San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York — show me their addresses, ratings, and phone numbers, up to 50 results.”

Regional business directory build

“Find the top 100 operational dental clinics in Texas, paginating through results if needed, and return their names, addresses, and websites.”

Nearby venue discovery by coordinates

“Search for gyms and fitness centers within 5 kilometers of latitude 40.7128, longitude -74.0060 in New York — give me their names, ratings, and operational status.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/local-business-database/search?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this POST endpoint over the GET search form when the query parameters are too long for a URL, when you need to filter by multiple values on several fields simultaneously (up to 32 values per field), or when you are constructing complex multi-field filters programmatically. Prefer this over area-specific endpoints when you want to combine named location filters (city, state) with optional geographic constraints in one request.

Side effects

No filter parameters provided — API requires at least one filter field
Empty businesses array returned (200) when query matches no listings — not an error
Cursor expired or used with a different query — pagination cursor is query-specific and time-limited
Conflicting area parameters — sending both bounding box and radius at once is not allowed
Field limit exceeded — arrays of city/state/etc accept at most 32 values
Truncated or malformed JSON body — POST body must be valid JSON

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
lat	number	Latitude of the center coordinate point of the area to search in. Send either bottom_left with top_right, or lat with lng and radius - not both, and not a partial group.
lng	number	Longitude of the center coordinate point of the area to search in. Send either bottom_left with top_right, or lat with lng and radius - not both, and not a partial group.
city	—	Find businesses in a specific city. Accepts up to 32 values by repeating the parameter (e.g. `city=value1&city=value2`). Values cannot be comma separated here, as a comma can be part of the value. In the POST form, send an array instead.
name	string	Find businesses by their display name.
limit	integer	Maximum number of businesses to return. Allowed values: `1-500`
query	string
state	—	Find businesses in a specific state or province. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed). US states match either way they are sent, by full name or by two-letter code.
cursor	string	Pagination cursor for fetching the next page. Pass the `cursor` value returned in the previous response. Omit it on the first request. Note: a cursor is only valid for the exact query that produced it, and it expires. Do not build or edit one.
fields	—	A comma separated list of business fields to include in the response (field projection). By default all fields are returned. `business_id` is always included. Note: field projection trims the response body only. It does not change how the request is billed.
radius	number	Radius of the area to search in, in meters. Allowed values: `1-100000`
address	string	Find businesses by their full formatted address, including the business name.
country	—	Find businesses in a specific country, as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed). For a list of supported country codes see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2.
zipcode	—	Find businesses in a specific ZIP / postal code. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed).
district	—	Find businesses in a specific district or neighbourhood, when the listing carries one. Accepts up to 32 values by repeating the parameter (e.g. `district=value1&district=value2`). Values cannot be comma separated here, as a comma can be part of the value. In the POST form, send an array instead.
top_right	string	The top-right (north-east) corner of the bounding box to search in, as a "lat,lng" string. Send either bottom_left with top_right, or lat with lng and radius - not both, and not a partial group.
owner_name	—	Find businesses by the name on the owner profile. Accepts up to 32 values by repeating the parameter (e.g. `owner_name=value1&owner_name=value2`). Values cannot be comma separated here, as a comma can be part of the value. In the POST form, send an array instead.
bottom_left	string	The bottom-left (south-west) corner of the bounding box to search in, as a "lat,lng" string. Send either bottom_left with top_right, or lat with lng and radius - not both, and not a partial group.
business_id	—	Find businesses by their unique Business Id, matched exactly. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed).
phone_number	—	Find businesses by phone number. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed). Send the number with its country code, either in E.164 (`+14325551234`, URL-encoded as `%2B14325551234`) or in a decorated form such as `1-432-555-1234`, `(432) 555-1234` or `0014325551234`.
street_address	—	Find businesses by the street line of their address on its own. A single value is matched loosely, which also finds spelling and abbreviation variants. Several values are matched exactly instead, which narrows the result. Accepts up to 32 values by repeating the parameter (e.g. `street_address=value1&street_address=value2`). Values cannot be comma separated here, as a comma can be part of the value. In the POST form, send an array instead.
business_category	—	Find businesses carrying a specific category. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed).
business_category_id	—	Find businesses by Google's internal entity-type IDs. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed). These are entity types rather than the listing's categories: the values are broad and a listing usually carries several of them, so this is a wide filter. The IDs are gcids (Google Maps category IDs). For a list of gcids see https://www.openwebninja.com/blog/all-google-maps-categories.
main_business_category	—	Find businesses whose primary category matches. Same value space as the business_category parameter. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed).
main_business_category_id	—	Find businesses by Google's internal ID of the primary category. Accepts a comma separated list of up to 32 values, or the parameter repeated up to 32 times (values are OR'ed). This is the machine ID, not the display label the main_business_category parameter matches, and the two can name different primaries. The IDs are gcids (Google Maps category IDs). For a list of gcids see https://www.openwebninja.com/blog/all-google-maps-categories.
