Google Maps API

Place search, place details, and reviews as clean JSON — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No Google Cloud project, no API key restriction rules, no per-request Places API billing.

Base URL: https://google-maps.fetcher.sh

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher skill:

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/search?query=coffee"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Endpoints (4 — all GET, $0.005/call)

Endpoint	What it returns
/api/place/search	Places matching a text query, optionally anchored to a coordinate
/api/place/{fid}	A place's full details by feature ID
/api/place/{fid}/reviews	A place's reviews
/api/review/{id}	A single review by ID

Required on search: query. Optional: languageCode, countryCode, latitude, longitude, offset, zoom (search radius/precision). Reviews support sort (relevant, newest, highest, lowest) and cursor.

Scenarios

Plain text search:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "query=ramen in brooklyn" -G \
  "https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/search"

Anchor the search to a coordinate (for "near me" style queries):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "query=coffee" -G \
  --data-urlencode "latitude=40.7128" \
  --data-urlencode "longitude=-74.0060" \
  "https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/search"
