Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Find places on Google Maps by query and location (tool ID: serpapi.google-maps). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.

Questions

Is Find places on Google Maps by query and location (SerpApi) free?

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0210 per request ($2.10 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

Do I need an API key from SerpApi?

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to SerpApi, so you don't sign up with SerpApi or manage an API key.

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.
