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
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.
| 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.
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"
A place's details, then its reviews sorted by newest:

"https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/0x89c259af336b3341%3A0x8c584d6dfe89aa89/reviews"
A single review by ID:

# 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](../fetcher/SKILL.md):
```bash
# 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:**
```bash
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):**
```bash
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"
```
**A place's details, then its reviews sorted by newest:**
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/0x89c259af336b3341%3A0x8c584d6dfe89aa89"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "sort=newest" -G \
"https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/0x89c259af336b3341%3A0x8c584d6dfe89aa89/reviews"
```
**A single review by ID:**
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/review/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURDeGRXQnl3RRAB"
```
**Localized results (French language, Canadian region):**
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "query=boulangerie" -G \
--data-urlencode "languageCode=fr" \
--data-urlencode "countryCode=CA" \
"https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/place/search"
```
## MCP
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"google-maps": {
"url": "https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer bby_live_..." }
}
}
}
```
Free: `search_endpoints`, `describe_endpoint`, `check_balance`. Paid:
`fetch_data` (any endpoint above), `topup_credits`, plus the named shortcut
`google_maps_place_search`. Drop the `headers` block to pay per call with
x402 instead — see the [`fetcher` skill](../fetcher/SKILL.md) for the full
flow.
## Errors
- `400` — missing/invalid parameter (message names it)
- `401` — unknown or rotated key
- `402` — payment required (x402 challenge) or `topup_required` (credits
exhausted)
- `404` — not a priced path
- No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes
delivery)

Source needs review
The tracked source changed or could not be synchronized. Review the current source before installing.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.

Copies are not installs. Installation counts require a reported successful installation; they are not a blanket quality guarantee.
This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
