Inputs
| Input | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | Yes | The business name or search text to look up, as you would type it into the Google Maps search bar (e.g. Blue Bottle Coffee). |
categoryFilterWords | array | No | Optional list of Google Maps place-category names to keep; the match is limited to a place whose category is one of these. Use lowercase category names as shown on Google Maps (e.g. ["coffee shop"]). Omit to allow any category and stay on the cheapest price; a category filter routes to a dearer... |
language | string | No | Two-letter language code for the result details (e.g. en). |
location | string | No | Optional free-text location to scope the search, ideally city plus state or country (e.g. San Francisco, CA). Narrows the query to the best match in that area. |
placeMinimumStars | string | No | Only match a place with at least this average rating: two (2+), twoAndHalf (2.5+), three (3+), threeAndHalf (3.5+), four (4+), or fourAndHalf (4.5+). Places with no reviews are excluded. Omit this field to stay on the cheapest price; a rating floor routes to a dearer source. |
website | string | No | Filter by whether the place lists a website: allPlaces (default), withWebsite (only if it has a website), or withoutWebsite (only if it has none). Omit this field, or send allPlaces, to stay on the cheapest price; withWebsite and withoutWebsite route to a dearer source. |
