## Tool details

**About this tool**

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 upfront quote reflects the selected limits. Completed requests cost that quote, including valid empty pages and no-match answers. Supplier waivers do not change the customer price. Failed requests are uncharged. 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.
