## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | not declared | yes | not declared | A Google Maps place name, business type, or place query, such as `dentist` or `dentist in Chicago`. `search` finds places; it does not search the text of reviews for an existing business. |
| country | not declared | no | not declared | The country or region code used to establish search context, such as `us`; the default is `us`. It is not a guarantee that every returned business is located in that country. |
| language | not declared | no | not declared | The language used for the query or page content; the default is `en`. For reviews, `lang` overrides this value when both are supplied. This setting does not guarantee that every review was written in that language. |
| location | not declared | no | not declared | The place text combined with `keyword` for `search`, such as `Chicago`. Avoid supplying a location that conflicts with a location already embedded in the keyword. |
| page_token | not declared | no | not declared | Pagination token: pass back next_page_token from the previous response to get the next page; omit it for the first page. Keep every other parameter unchanged. Tokens last 24 hours and each page is one call. |
| limit | integer (1–50) | no | 15 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| place_id | platform-native 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 | platform-native 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 | platform-native meaning |
| postal_code | platform-native meaning |
| country_code | platform-native meaning |
| lat | platform-native meaning |
| lng | platform-native 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 | platform-native 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). |
