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](/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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `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`](/reference/tools/anyapi-run-maps-place) | $0.00175 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 anyapi-run-maps-place` 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.place.get","input":{"query":"<query>"},"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.place.get",
    input: {
      query: "<query>",
    },
    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.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`.
