Look up a place and its details.

Job id maps.place.get, in Maps & local (Maps & local). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run job:maps.place.get and looot picks one of them; with fallback on, a miss moves on to the next. See 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
`categoryFilterWords`	array	no	Optional list of Google Maps place-category names to keep; the match is limited to a place whose category is one of these. Use lowercase category names as shown on Google Maps (e.g. [“coffee shop”]). Omit to allow any category and stay on the cheapest price; a category filter routes to a dearer source.
`language`	string	no	Two-letter language code for the result details (e.g. en).
`location`	string	no	Optional free-text location to scope the search, ideally city plus state or country (e.g. San Francisco, CA). Narrows the query to the best match in that area.
`placeMinimumStars`	string	no	Only match a place with at least this average rating: two (2+), twoAndHalf (2.5+), three (3+), threeAndHalf (3.5+), four (4+), or fourAndHalf (4.5+). Places with no reviews are excluded. Omit this field to stay on the cheapest price; a rating floor routes to a dearer source.
`query`	string	yes	The business name or search text to look up, as you would type it into the Google Maps search bar (e.g. Blue Bottle Coffee).
`website`	string	no	Filter by whether the place lists a website: allPlaces (default), withWebsite (only if it has a website), or withoutWebsite (only if it has none). Omit this field, or send allPlaces, to stay on the cheapest price; withWebsite and withoutWebsite route to a dearer source.

Providers and prices

Provider	Tool	Price
AnyAPI	`anyapi-run-maps-place`	$0.00175 per call

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See What’s free.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect anyapi-run-maps-place prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in 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:

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.place.get","input":{"query":"<query>"},"wait":30}'

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.place.get",
    input: {
      query: "<query>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

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.place.get",
        "input": {
            "query": "<query>",
        },
        "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.place.get.
