18 tools

• get_attributions

  List the projects credited by gmaps.dev, with their licenses and notices. No API key needed. Costs no credits.

• search_places

  Find places by what they are and where they are, such as bakeries in Curitiba. Places we saved from earlier searches come back at once, for free. If they do not fill `limit`, a collection starts to find the rest and the answer includes it: each new place costs one credit as it…

• get_place

  Read one saved place, by our id, Google's cid, Google's place ID, or a Google Maps link to it. It never searches: a place we have not saved answers 404, and searching its area with search_places brings it in. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

• create_collection

  Search a whole area, square by square, and collect up to maxPlaces of the places in it. Answers straight away with the collection, then works through the area in the background. Read the collection again to see how far it has got. Starting one costs nothing: each new place costs…

• list_collections

  Your collections, newest first, with the total so you know how many more there are. Filter by status to find the ones still running. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

• get_collection

  See where a collection has got to: how much of the area is searched, how many places have arrived, and what it has cost so far. Read it again whenever you want an update. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

• cancel_collection

  Stop a collection you no longer want. One that has not started yet stops at once and costs nothing. One already running keeps the places that have arrived and the credits they cost; the search in flight finishes, and nothing new starts. A collection that has already ended cannot…

• quote_collection

  See what collecting an area would cost before you start it: how much of it we have searched recently, how many places we have saved there (those cost nothing), how many searches are left to run, and the most it can cost in credits. Needs an API key. Costs no credits and starts…

• create_export

  Get a link to a collection's places as one file: csv, json or xlsx. The file has the places the collection holds now, even if it is still running. The link opens without an API key for 24 hours, so share it only with people who should see the file. Needs an API key. Costs no…

• get_export

  Read an export you made, with its download link, while the link still works. After 24 hours, or once the collection's places are deleted, it answers 404: make a new export from the collection. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

• get_coverage

  See how much of an area we have already searched for a term, when we last searched it, and how many places we have saved there. Use it to decide whether to collect again or just read the saved places. Needs an API key. Costs no credits and starts nothing.

• get_usage

  See this month's credits: what your plan includes, what you have used, what is left today and this month, and the same totals for each API key. Needs an API key. Costs no credits.

• create_webhook

  Tell us where to POST when a collection ends, instead of asking us every few seconds whether it is done. The answer shows the signing secret once and never again. Store it, then check every request against it. The body carries counts and a link to the places, never the places…

• list_webhooks

  Every endpoint you have added, newest first, with whether it is still receiving events and why we stopped if it is not. Secrets are not shown again after the endpoint is created. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

• update_webhook

  Change which events an endpoint receives, rename it, or switch it off and on. This is how an endpoint comes back after we stopped sending to it: fix your server, then set enabled to true. The failure count starts again from zero. Whatever you leave out stays as it was. Needs an…

• delete_webhook

  Stop sending to an endpoint and forget it, along with the record of what we sent there. To pause one instead, set enabled to false. That keeps the secret, so you do not have to change your code to turn it back on. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.

• test_webhook

  Send a "ping" to one of your endpoints now, so you can check your code reads it and the signature checks out before a real collection depends on it. Answers straight away with the delivery; read the deliveries list a moment later to see what your server said. Needs an API key…

• list_webhook_deliveries

  What we sent to one endpoint, newest first: which event, whether it arrived, how many tries it took, and what your server answered. This is where to look when an event never showed up. Kept for 7 days. Needs an API key and a paid plan. Costs no credits.
