AnyAPI / Google Maps Place Lookup

AnyAPI tool anyapi-run-maps-place on looot: input fields, $0.00175 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Look up a place on Google Maps by name or search query (optionally scoped to a location) and get the best-matching place with available address, contact, rating, and coordinate details as normalized JSON. Price: $1.75 per 1,000 requests (flat per request - same cost regardless of results returned). Routing: 3 independent lanes are available in execution order. A failed attempt uses the next lane only when the request’s payment authorizes that lane’s price; the normalized schema stays the same. Catalog: Google Maps Place Lookup pricing and uptime - live USD price, lane routing, and measured 30-day uptime. Every Maps endpoint.

Tool id: anyapi-run-maps-place
Provider: AnyAPI
Job: Look up a place and its details (maps.place.get)
Price: $0.00175 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

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.

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":"anyapi-run-maps-place","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: "anyapi-run-maps-place",
    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": "anyapi-run-maps-place",
        "input": {
            "query": "<query>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:maps.place.get as endpointId; see the job page.
