Query parameters
| Name | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
query | yes | Business name, optionally with a place | Dishoom Shoreditch |
location | no | Location name | London,England,United Kingdom |
language | no | Language code | en |
limit | no | Requested rows per response, 1–1000. The source may return fewer. Remaining rows from an already purchased page use a saved cursor and cost zero to retrieve for up to one hour; further native source pages use this endpoint’s normal price. | 5 |
cursor | no | Use the returned cursor unchanged, retaining the original query, filters and limit. Saved mlo1. cursors retrieve already purchased rows at zero credits for up to one hour. A native source cursor, when supplied, starts a normally priced source page. Quote with dry_run before continuing. | |
dry_run | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. | 1 |

Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.
{
"success": true,
"platform": "google_places",
"endpoint": "/v1/google_places/questions",
"data": {
"count": 0,
"has_more": false,
"items": [
{
"answers": [
{}
],
"asked_at": "2026-09-01T12:00:00Z",
"asked_by": "example",
"id": "example",
"question": "example"
}
]
},
"credits_used": 4,
"credits_remaining": 99,
"request_id": "req_…",
"cached": false
}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
count | number | null | Number of records in this response, not lifetime or total matches. |
has_more | boolean | null | Source continuation indicator; null means unknown. |
items | array | null | Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary. |
items[].answers | array | null | Optional answers supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].asked_at | string | null | Optional asked at supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].asked_by | string | null | Optional asked by supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].id | string | null | Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value. |
items[].question | string | null | Optional question supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.
The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
