Summary

Search Google Maps for places, businesses, landmarks, or locations using a textual query with optional parameters to refine results such as language, geographical bias, or specific place identifiers.

Inputs

  • Query (required) — The textual search query for Google Maps, accepting business names, landmarks, addresses, keywords, or category plus location queries (e.g., 'restaurants in Paris').
  • Options — Optional parameters to refine the search results including:
  • Language code ('hl') to specify the language of returned place texts.
  • Location Bias ('ll') to bias results geographically in '@latitude,longitude,zoomz' format.
  • Place ID ('placeId') to look up a specific Google Place directly.
  • CID ('cid') for targeting a specific Google business listing numerically.

Output shape

a list of search result items matching the Google Maps query.

The operation returns the raw API response wrapped in an execution metadata envelope. The response content structure depends on the Crawleo Google Maps API format. Optional fields in the input parameters can filter or bias the results returned.

Examples

Example 1: Search for restaurants in Paris filtering results to French language

Query: 'restaurants in Paris'; Options: { hl: 'fr' }

Example 2: Lookup a specific place by Google Place ID

Query: any string (required but ignored if Place ID given); Options: { placeId: 'ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4' }
