# Get Google Maps Search

Fetch normalized search data from Google Maps.

Each successfully returned standard result costs `0.15` credits. List endpoints reserve by `results_limit` and settle against the actual result count.

## Request Body

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "query": "coffee",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "country": "US",
  "results_limit": 3
}
```

## Request Constraints

* `query` and `location` are required strings. `country`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `zoom_level`, and `results_limit` are optional.
* `latitude` and `longitude` are independent numeric inputs. The current runtime validates their number type but does not impose numeric ranges.
* `zoom_level` must be an integer from `0` through `21`.
* `results_limit` must be an integer from `1` through `2,000` and defaults to `100`.

## Use with MCP

| Interface      | Value                                                |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| REST           | `POST /v1/google-maps/search`                        |
| Compact MCP    | `socq_execute` with `endpoint: "google-maps/search"` |
| Typed MCP      | `socq_google_maps_search`                            |
| Exact-tool URL | `https://api.socq.ai/mcp?tools=google_maps_search`   |
| CLI            | `socq google-maps search`                            |

<Info>
  A successful request returns a `task_id`. Poll it with `socq_get_task`, then read normalized records from `results.items`.
