Single Place
AI-generatedOverview
This node operation retrieves detailed information about a single place from Google Maps using the GeoScraper API. It supports identifying the place either by a unique data ID or a Google Maps place ID. This operation is useful for scenarios where you need comprehensive details about a specific location, such as business information, address, contact details, and other metadata. For example, it can be used to fetch detailed data for a restaurant or a landmark by providing its place ID or data ID.
Use Case Examples
- Fetching detailed information about a specific restaurant using its Google Maps place ID.
- Retrieving comprehensive data for a landmark by specifying its unique data ID.

json- The detailed information about the single place retrieved from the GeoScraper API.

Troubleshooting
- If the node throws an error stating 'You must provide a value for the selected ID type.', ensure that the corresponding ID (data_id or place_id) is provided based on the selected ID Type.
- A 404 error with message 'No data found' indicates that the place could not be found with the given ID; verify the correctness of the ID.
- If the node fails due to request errors, check the API key credential and network connectivity.
- Enable 'Use Cached' to reduce API calls and avoid hitting rate limits if repeated requests for the same place are made.
