How this service works
Search places by text query
Output
A list of matching places including name, formatted address, geographic coordinates (lat/lng), place ID, rating, user ratings total, price level, business status, opening hours summary, and photo references. Results are ranked by relevance to the query.
Example use cases
Late-night pharmacy finder
“I need to find pharmacies that are open late tonight in Chicago — can you search for them and give me their addresses and locations so I can figure out which one is closest to me?”
Coworking spaces in San Francisco
“I'm heading to San Francisco next week and need a place to work during the day — can you find coworking spaces there and pull up their names, addresses, and ratings so I can pick a good one?”
Dog-friendly parks in Austin
“I'm visiting Austin with my dog and want to find some dog-friendly parks — can you search for them and give me the names, locations, and any other details like ratings or hours so I know where to take her?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://googlemaps.mpp.tempo.xyz/maps/place/textsearch/json?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a free-text description of a place type or business name and want to find matching locations — ideal for natural language place searches. Prefer this over geocoding when you don't have a specific address, and over nearby search when you want keyword-based matching rather than proximity-only results.
Side effects
- Empty results if query is too specific or location has no matching places
- ZERO_RESULTS status when no places match the text query in the given area
- INVALID_REQUEST if the query parameter is missing or malformed
- REQUEST_DENIED if the API key is invalid or lacks Places API access
- OVER_DAILY_LIMIT or OVER_QUERY_LIMIT if usage quota is exceeded
- Ambiguous results if query text matches unintended place types
