How this service works
Search Google Maps places (local businesses, restaurants, hotels, shops and points of interest) by free-text query.
Output
A merged list of place results (up to 200) from Google Maps, each typically including business name, address, geographic coordinates, place category, rating, and other available metadata. Results are paginated internally and merged based on the pages or limit parameter.
Example use cases
Restaurant discovery for travel planning
“I'm visiting Paris next month — can you search for the top rooftop bars in Paris, France using Google Maps places? Give me up to 20 results in French.”
Local service provider lookup
“Find dentists near downtown Austin, Texas — search around lat 30.2672, lng -97.7431 at city zoom level and give me the first page of results.”
Hotel search for a specific destination
“Search Google Maps for Hilton hotels in Tokyo, Japan — use country code JP and language ja, and return up to 10 results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/places/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need free-text search across Google Maps places data — local businesses, restaurants, hotels, or POIs — especially when you want geographic bias via lat/lng and zoom. Prefer it over general web search when structured place data (addresses, ratings, coordinates) is needed rather than unstructured text results.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid country or language code may return empty results or an error
- Providing lat/lng without both values may result in no geographic bias being applied
- Requesting more than 20 pages or 200 results exceeds limits and may be clamped or rejected
- Overly broad queries may return noisy, irrelevant results
- No results found for very specific or obscure queries in certain regions
