What this API does

Returns Google Maps place names, categories, positions and place identifiers for a keyword and location. Retrieve one bounded result or page using the documented fields. Pagination is explicit: follow-up pages require another run. The catalog price is the maximum per request; the quote reflects the selected limits and the wallet settles the verified actual cost plus 40%. Free supplier calls remain free. Results contain reviewed business data and available pagination. The worked example shows selected fields from a recorded response, with at most the first item of each list.

Agents select this operation with tool ID serpapi.google-maps, then check its current inputs and price before a run.
