Search Google Maps business listings.

Job id `maps.business.listings`, in Maps & local (Maps & local). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run `job:maps.business.listings` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

This job has one tool, so it takes that tool's fields. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `categories` | array | no | business categories the categories you specify are used to search for business listings; if you don’t use this field, we will return business listings found in the specified location; you can specify up to 10 categories |
| `description` | string | no | description of the element in SERP optional field the description of the business entity for which the results are collected; can contain up to 200 characters |
| `filters` | array | no | Array-based filter expression. A single condition is a 3-element array: [field, operator, value]. Combine conditions with ["and"\|"or"] between them: [condition, "and", condition]. Max 8 filters. Operators: regex, not_regex, <, <=, >, >=, =, <>, in, not_in, like, not_like, match, not_match Use % with like/not_like as a wildcard. Example: Single: ["rating.value", ">", 3] |
| `is_claimed` | boolean | no | indicates whether the business is verified by its owner on Google Maps |
| `limit` | number | no | the maximum number of returned businesses |
| `location_coordinate` | string | no | GPS coordinates of a location optional field location_coordinate parameter should be specified in the “latitude,longitude,radius” format the maximum number of decimal digits for “latitude” and “longitude”: 7 the value of “radius” is specified in kilometres (km) the minimum value for “radius”: 1 the maximum value for “radius”: 100000 example: 53.476225,-2.243572,200 |
| `offset` | number | no | offset in the results array of returned businesses optional field default value: 0 if you specify the 10 value, the first ten entities in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive entities |
| `order_by` | array | no | results sorting rules optional field you can use the same values as in the filters array to sort the results possible sorting types: asc, results will be sorted in the ascending order desc, results will be sorted in the descending order you should use a comma to set up a sorting parameter example: ["rating.value,desc"]note that you can set no more than three sorting rules in a single request you should use a comma to separate several sorting rules example: ["rating.value,desc","rating.votes... |
| `title` | string | no | title of the element in SERP optional field the name of the business entity for which the results are collected; can contain up to 200 characters |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [DataForSEO](/providers/dataforseo) | [`dataforseo-business-data-business-listings-search-live-ai`](/reference/tools/dataforseo-business-data-business-listings-search-live-ai) | $0.012 per call |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect dataforseo-business-data-business-listings-search-live-ai` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:maps.business.listings","input":{},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:maps.business.listings",
    input: {},
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:maps.business.listings",
        "input": {},
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:maps.business.listings`.
