A Google Maps API alternative and Google Places API alternative on fetcher.sh — pay-per-call in USDC via x402, or prepaid credits with a Bearer key, no Google Cloud billing account. Use when the user wants to search places by text query or anchor the search to a latitude/longitude coordinate, fetch

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](../fetcher/SKILL.md): 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: Anchor the search to a coordinate (for "near me" style queries): A place's details, then its reviews sorted by newest: A single review by ID: Localized results (French language, Canadian region): MCP 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](../fetcher/SKILL.md) for the full flow. Errors 400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it) 401 — unknown or rotated key 402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup required (credits exhausted) 404 — not a priced path No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes delivery) Reference Full agent setup: <https://google maps.fetcher.sh/skill.md OpenAPI 3.1 contract: <https://google maps.fetcher.sh/openapi.json Condensed catalog: <https://google maps.fetcher.sh/llms.txt Payment, credits, and MCP deep dive: [ fetcher skill](../fetcher/SKILL.md) Site: <https://google maps.fetcher.sh
