We have just added a Google Maps API — a brand-new category with three endpoints that give you official Google Places data through one key. Search Google Maps for places and businesses with [Maps Search](/maps-api/maps-search), fetch the full profile for any place by its ID with [Place Details](/maps-api/place), and pull a place's rating summary and reviews with [Reviews](/maps-api/reviews). Every one is a POST under `/v1/maps/*`, returns clean JSON under the same `{ ok, data }` envelope, uses the same `yep_sk_` key, and is priced per call from $0.05 — with no Google Cloud project, billing account, or quota setup on your side.
What's new
- Google Maps Search — text search for places & businesses with name, address, phone, website, rating, hours, amenities, photos, coordinates, and a top review ($0.07/call)
- Google Maps Place Details — the full profile for any place ID, including hours, amenities, photos, timezone, and a top review ($0.05/call)
- Google Maps Reviews — a place's overall rating, total rating count, and up to five review bodies ($0.05/call)
- Powered by the official Google Places API (New) — live data, not scraped
- No Google Cloud project, billing account, quotas, or field masks to configure
- Same `yep_sk_` key, same `{ ok, data }` envelope, $5 free credit, no minimums
What you can build with them
Build store locators, local lead lists, map-based apps, and reputation dashboards on real Google place data. Search discovers places and hands you a stable place ID; pass that ID to Place Details for the complete record or to Reviews for the rating summary. It's a clean Google Places API and SerpApi Maps alternative — without wiring up a Google Cloud billing account.
How to call them
Each is a POST under `/v1/maps/*`. Search Google Maps for places:
curl -X POST https://api.yepapi.com/v1/maps/search \
-H "x-api-key: $YEPAPI_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "coffee in seattle",
"limit": 10
}'A note on reviews
Google's official Places API (New) exposes at most five review bodies per place, so the Reviews endpoint returns those five alongside the place's overall rating and total rating count. We're deliberately accurate about this — it's not an unlimited review scraper, because no official Google API returns every review.
Pricing
Pay per call from your prepaid balance: Maps Search is $0.07, Place Details and Reviews are $0.05 each. No subscription, no minimums, and $5 free credit on signup to test with real Google Places data.
