Pull businesses from Google Maps by category, such as dentist or coffee_shop in category, and narrow them by city, country, a minimum rating or a word in the business name. Each business has address, coordinates, phone, website, rating and review count. Up to 20 businesses, most-reviewed first; price is often empty and closure status is not provided.
Price $15.36 per 1,000 requests ($0.01536 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Google Maps Reviews Business listings endpoint (google_maps_reviews/business_listings).
How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to google_maps_reviews and action to business_listings, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- category: The Google Maps business category for business_listings, in lowercase English with underscores for spaces, such as dentist, coffee_shop or italian_restaurant.
- Optional parameters:
- city: A city name the business address must match, such as Austin; businesses elsewhere are left out.
- country: A two-letter country code the business address must match, such as us or gb.
- min_rating: The lowest star rating to keep in business_listings, from 1 to 5; decimals such as 4.5 work.
- name: A word the business name must contain in business_listings, such as a brand; businesses without it in their name are dropped.
- limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 20. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values are accepted and capped at the maximum. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: place_id, name, url, category, categories, description, address, city, state, postal_code, country_code, lat; 21 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=google_maps_reviews.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "google_maps_reviews",
"action": "business_listings",
"params": {
"category": "crm"
}
}
- Price: $15.36 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.
Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.Request parameters

}Response fields
Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
place_id | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
category | Category name in the platform's own taxonomy, not normalized across platforms. |
categories | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
description | Summary or description, usually shorter than text. |
address | Full address, passed through as is. |
city | City name in the platform's language, not normalized. |
state | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
postal_code | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
country_code | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
lat | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
lng | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
phone | Contact phone number, passed through without format normalization. |
website | External website entered by the account or business. |
rating | Rating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards. |
rating_scale | Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating. |
review_count | Number of reviews, for product and business capabilities. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
price | Price as a number without a currency symbol; see currency. |
permanently_closed | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
image_url | Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
