FAQ
Can I search or fetch one place?
Yes. Pass a query for search, or place_id for one place. At least one of them is required.
Can I search by coordinates?
Yes. Pass ll together with a query to target a geographic area, or location with a place name. Without either, a place named in the query is used, so pizza Roma searches in Rome.
What does a request cost?
Every Maps request costs 5 credits, or about $1.93 per 1,000 requests on a 75k prepaid pack.
