SearchAPI.io - Google Maps Photos API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-google-maps-photos on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

The Google Maps Photos API retrieves photos associated with places on Google Maps. You can fetch photos for any location using either a place_id or data_id parameter. Cross-linking: The place_id and data_id fields returned by the Google Maps API can be used with this API to fetch photos for a specific place. Pass them as the place_id or data_id parameter respectively. Send one of: place_id, data_id.

  • Tool id: searchapi-io-google-maps-photos
  • Provider: SearchAPI.io
  • Job: Google maps photos search (search.google-maps-photos)
  • Price: $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
category_id string no
data_id string no
engine string no Fixed to “google_maps_photos” for this endpoint. Example: “google_maps_photos”
next_page_token string no
place_id string no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-google-maps-photos 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":"searchapi-io-google-maps-photos","input":{"engine":"google_maps_photos","place_id":"<place_id>"},"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: "searchapi-io-google-maps-photos",
    input: {
      engine: "google_maps_photos",
      place_id: "<place_id>",
    },
    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": "searchapi-io-google-maps-photos",
        "input": {
            "engine": "google_maps_photos",
            "place_id": "<place_id>",
        },
        "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:search.google-maps-photos as endpointId; see the job page.
