Place Search
AI-generatedOverview
This node performs a place search on Google Maps using the GeoScraper API. It allows users to search for places based on a location name or coordinates and a query string. This is useful for finding specific types of places (e.g., restaurants, stores) within a given area. For example, a user can search for 'kfc' in 'japan' to get a list of KFC locations in Japan.
Use Case Examples
- Search for 'kfc' in 'japan' to get KFC locations in Japan.
- Search for 'coffee shops' near specific coordinates '@35.6895,139.6917,15z'.
Properties

| Query | The search query string to find places matching this term, e.g., 'kfc' or 'coffee shop'. |

Troubleshooting
- If the node throws an error 'You must provide a value for the selected ID type.', ensure that the correct ID type and corresponding ID value are provided.
- If the error 'No more results' with detail 'No data found' occurs, it means the search returned no results for the given query and location.
- Network or authentication errors may occur if the GeoScraper API key is invalid or missing. Verify the API key credentials.
