Search Google Maps for businesses and places
Find businesses and places on Google Maps by a text query, optionally around a point. Each result is the full listing: place_id, name, categories, formatted_address, location, rating and user_ratings_total, phone, website, opening_hours and business_status — named as in Google's Places API. Use this to build a list of businesses in an area; use google-maps/place when you already have a place_id.

Response
Returns an array of google_maps_place. This is a real response, not an abbreviated one — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them.

What it costs
3 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 24 hours and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.
On the smallest pack that is $2.34 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $1.20. The full table.
