Text Search

Search for places by text query:

npx agentcash@latest fetch https://stableenrich.dev/api/google-maps/text-search/partial -m POST -b '{"textQuery": "coffee shops in downtown Seattle"}'

Parameters:

• textQuery - Search query (required)
• locationBias - Prefer results near a location (circle with center lat/lng and radius in meters, max 50000)
• includedType - Single Google Places type to filter by
• minRating - Minimum rating filter (0-5)
• openNow - Only open places
• maxResultCount - Results per page, 1-5 (default: 5)
• priceLevels - Filter by price level (e.g. PRICE_LEVEL_INEXPENSIVE)

Cost Optimization

Use Partial Tier When:

• Just need name, address, basic info
• Browsing/discovering options
• Initial search before drilling down

Use Full Tier When:

• Need reviews/ratings details
• Need atmosphere info (accessibility, etc.)
• Final decision-making

Efficient Patterns

1. Search partial, detail full:

   • Text search (partial) to find places
   • Place details (full) for the one you care about

2. Batch searches:

   • Combine filters to reduce calls
   • Use maxResultCount to limit results

3. Cache place IDs:

   • Place IDs are stable
   • Re-fetch details only when needed
