Searches Google Maps places by text. Send query; latitude, longitude, zoom and count refine it. Returns places with name, address, rating, categories and GPS. Price is 3 credits per 20 results.

- **Tool id:** `anysite-api-google-maps-places-search`
- **Provider:** [Anysite](/providers/anysite)
- **Job:** [Find local businesses on Google Maps](/reference/jobs/maps-local-search) (`maps.local.search`)

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `count` | integer | yes | Max number of results |
| `latitude` | number | no |   |
| `longitude` | number | no |   |

| `timeout` | integer | no | Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) |
| `zoom` | number | no |   |
| `x-request-id` | string | no |   |

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, checked against 1 real answer:

```txt
{ cid, url, city, name, @type, hotel, hours: { day, @type, hours }[], image, owner: { id, name, @type }, phone, state, domain, rating, actions: unknown[], address, country, website, latitude, menu_url, place_id, timezone, entity_id, longitude, plus_code, attributes: { name, @type, items: string[] }[], categories: string[], feature_id, is_claimed, time_spent, description, postal_code, price_level, neighborhood, review_count, popular_times: unknown[], related_places: unknown[], primary_category, editorial_summary, rating_distribution }[]
```

## 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":"anysite-api-google-maps-places-search","input":{"query":"starbucks times square new york","count":1},"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: "anysite-api-google-maps-places-search",
    input: {
      query: "starbucks times square new york",
      count: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={

        "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.local.search` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/maps-local-search).
