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"A place's details, then its reviews sorted by newest:
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:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://google-maps.fetcher.sh/api/review/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURDeGRXQnl3RRAB"Localized results (French language, Canadian region):
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "query=boulangerie" -G \
--data-urlencode "languageCode=fr" \
--data-urlencode "countryCode=CA" \

}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 for the full flow.
