• get_attributions read-only

  List the projects credited by gmaps.dev, with their licenses and notices. No API key needed. Costs no credits.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• search_places

  Find places by what they are and where they are, such as bakeries in Curitiba. Places we saved from earlier searches come back at once, for free. If they do not fill `limit`, a collection starts to find the rest and the answer includes it: each new place costs one credit as it arrives, and it stops at `limit`, so a search never costs more than `limit` credits. Search again later, or read the collection, to get the new ones; with `wait`, the answer waits up to 60 seconds for them. Needs an API key.

  Parameters:

  • keywords (required) — array — What to search for, such as ["bakery"]. One search per term.
  • geo (required) — Where to search. Give exactly one of: a Brazilian city as location, a lat/lng point with radiusM, a bbox, or a cityIbge with radiusKm.
  • lang — string — The language to search in. New places come back in it. Two letters, such as pt or en.
  • wait — integer — Seconds to wait for new places when we have to collect them, up to 60. 0 answers at once with what we already have.
  • limit — integer — How many places you want, from 1 to 120. Also the most a search can cost.
  • minRating — Keep only places rated at least this, from 1 to 5. Null keeps every place.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• get_place read-only

  Read one saved place, by our id, Google's cid, Google's place ID, or a Google Maps link to it. It never searches: a place we have not saved answers 404, and searching its area with search_places brings it in. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • place (required) — string — Our id for the place, Google's cid, Google's place ID, or a Google Maps link to it.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• create_collection

  Search a whole area, square by square, and collect up to maxPlaces of the places in it. Answers straight away with the collection, then works through the area in the background. Read the collection again to see how far it has got. Starting one costs nothing: each new place costs one credit as it arrives, and saved places cost nothing. Needs an API key.

  Parameters:

  • keywords (required) — array — What to search for, such as ["bakery", "coffee shop"]. One search per term.
  • geo (required) — Where to search. Give exactly one of: a Brazilian city as location, a lat/lng point with radiusM, a bbox, or a cityIbge with radiusKm.
  • lang — string — The language to search in. New places come back in it. Two letters, such as pt or en.
  • enrich — array — Add ["emails"] to also look for email addresses. Costs one more credit for each place that has one, and needs a paid plan.
  • maxPlaces — integer — Stop after this many places. Defaults to the most your plan collects at once.
  • minRating — Keep only places rated at least this, from 1 to 5. Null keeps every place.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• list_collections read-only

  Your collections, newest first, with the total so you know how many more there are. Filter by status to find the ones still running. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — How many collections to return, from 1 to 100.
  • offset — integer — How many collections to skip, for reading the next page.
  • status — string — Show only collections with this status, such as running.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• get_collection read-only

  See where a collection has got to: how much of the area is searched, how many places have arrived, and what it has cost so far. Read it again whenever you want an update. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The collection's id, as create_collection returned it.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• cancel_collection destructive

  Stop a collection you no longer want. One that has not started yet stops at once and costs nothing. One already running keeps the places that have arrived and the credits they cost; the search in flight finishes, and nothing new starts. A collection that has already ended cannot be cancelled. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The collection's id, as create_collection returned it.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• quote_collection read-only

  See what collecting an area would cost before you start it: how much of it we have searched recently, how many places we have saved there (those cost nothing), how many searches are left to run, and the most it can cost in credits. Needs an API key. Costs no credits and starts nothing.

  Parameters:

  • keywords (required) — array — What to search for, such as ["bakery", "coffee shop"]. One search per term.
  • geo (required) — Where to search. Give exactly one of: a Brazilian city as location, a lat/lng point with radiusM, a bbox, or a cityIbge with radiusKm.
  • lang — string — The language to search in. New places come back in it. Two letters, such as pt or en.
  • enrich — array — Add ["emails"] to also look for email addresses. Costs one more credit for each place that has one, and needs a paid plan.
  • maxPlaces — integer — Stop after this many places. Defaults to the most your plan collects at once.
  • minRating — Keep only places rated at least this, from 1 to 5. Null keeps every place.

• create_export

  Get a link to a collection's places as one file: csv, json or xlsx. The file has the places the collection holds now, even if it is still running. The link opens without an API key for 24 hours, so share it only with people who should see the file. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • collectionId (required) — string — The collection to export, as create_collection or search_places returned it.
  • format — string — The file type: csv, json or xlsx. An xlsx file holds up to 50,000 places.
  • locale — string — The language of the column names in csv and xlsx files: en or pt-BR. Defaults to your account's language.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• get_export read-only

  Read an export you made, with its download link, while the link still works. After 24 hours, or once the collection's places are deleted, it answers 404: make a new export from the collection. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The export's id, as create_export returned it.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• get_coverage read-only

  See how much of an area we have already searched for a term, when we last searched it, and how many places we have saved there. Use it to decide whether to collect again or just read the saved places. Needs an API key. Costs no credits and starts nothing.

  Parameters:

  • keywords (required) — array — What you would search for, such as ["bakery"]. Coverage is per term: we may have searched an area for one and never for another.
  • geo (required) — The area. Give exactly one of: a Brazilian city as location, a lat/lng point with radiusM, a bbox, or a cityIbge with radiusKm.
  • lang — string — The language the search would run in. Two letters, such as pt or en.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• get_usage read-only

  See this month's credits: what your plan includes, what you have used, what is left today and this month, and the same totals for each API key. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• create_webhook

  Tell us where to POST when a collection ends, instead of asking us every few seconds whether it is done. The answer shows the signing secret once and never again. Store it, then check every request against it. The body carries counts and a link to the places, never the places themselves. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • url (required) — string — Where to POST the event. Must start with https:// and resolve to a public address. We will not send your results unencrypted or into a private network.
  • events — array — Which events to send here. "collection.completed" fires when a collection ends, even one that found no places; "collection.failed" fires when an error stops it. A collection you cancel sends neither.
  • description — string — Your own note about this endpoint, such as which of your services it is.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• list_webhooks read-only

  Every endpoint you have added, newest first, with whether it is still receiving events and why we stopped if it is not. Secrets are not shown again after the endpoint is created. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• update_webhook destructive

  Change which events an endpoint receives, rename it, or switch it off and on. This is how an endpoint comes back after we stopped sending to it: fix your server, then set enabled to true. The failure count starts again from zero. Whatever you leave out stays as it was. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The endpoint's id, as create_webhook returned it.
  • events — array — Which events to send here. "collection.completed" fires when a collection ends, even one that found no places; "collection.failed" fires when an error stops it. A collection you cancel sends neither.
  • enabled — boolean — False to stop sending here without deleting it. True to start again after we switched it off.
  • description

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• delete_webhook destructive

  Stop sending to an endpoint and forget it, along with the record of what we sent there. To pause one instead, set enabled to false. That keeps the secret, so you do not have to change your code to turn it back on. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The endpoint's id, as create_webhook returned it.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• test_webhook destructive

  Send a "ping" to one of your endpoints now, so you can check your code reads it and the signature checks out before a real collection depends on it. Answers straight away with the delivery; read the deliveries list a moment later to see what your server said. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The endpoint's id, as create_webhook returned it.
  • message — string — What the test event should say, so you can spot it in your logs.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• list_webhook_deliveries read-only

  What we sent to one endpoint, newest first: which event, whether it arrived, how many tries it took, and what your server answered. This is where to look when an event never showed up. Kept for 7 days. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The endpoint's id, as create_webhook returned it.
  • limit — integer — How many deliveries to return, newest first, from 1 to 100.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no
