Fetch a full Apple Maps editorial guide (curated place collection) in JSON format: the guide's title, description, publisher, and cover photos, plus every member place with full details, the guide's editorial review snippet for it, and a link to the publisher's own article. **Cross-linking**: Pass a `guide_id` value from the `guide_results` of the Apple Maps API. The member places carry `place_id` values usable with the other Apple Maps APIs.

- **Tool id:** `searchapi-io-apple-maps-guides`
- **Provider:** [SearchAPI.io](/providers/searchapi-io)
- **Job:** [Apple maps guides search](/reference/jobs/search-apple-maps-guides) (`search.apple-maps-guides`)
- **Price:** $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `country` | string | no |   |
| `engine` | string | no | Fixed to "apple_maps_guides" for this endpoint. Example: "apple_maps_guides" |
| `guide_id` | string | yes |   |
| `lang` | string | no |   |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect searchapi-io-apple-maps-guides` 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":"searchapi-io-apple-maps-guides","input":{"guide_id":"<guide_id>","engine":"apple_maps_guides"},"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",

  body: JSON.stringify({

    input: {
      guide_id: "<guide_id>",
      engine: "apple_maps_guides",
    },
    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={

    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```
