## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover places of a specific type or category near a geographic coordinate or named location. Prefer this over geocoding endpoints when the goal is local business or POI discovery rather than address resolution. Choose this over text search when you have a clear location anchor and want results sorted by proximity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing location parameter returns REQUEST_DENIED or INVALID_REQUEST
- Radius out of acceptable range (1–50000 meters) returns INVALID_REQUEST
- Unrecognized place type returns zero results
- API key quota exceeded returns OVER_QUERY_LIMIT
- No places found matching criteria returns ZERO_RESULTS status
- Location coordinates outside supported regions may return empty results
