In your code

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  "place_id": "ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4"
});

const res = await fetch(`https://api.scrapefield.com/v1/google-maps/posts?${params}`, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SCRAPEFIELD_KEY}` },
});

const { data, meta } = await res.json();
console.log(data, meta.credits_charged);

Parameters

ParameterWhat it does
place_id
string · one of the place ids
Google's place ID.
url
string · one of the place ids
The full URL of the place on Google Maps, which carries its id. A short maps.app.goo.gl link does not, so open it and copy the address it leads to.
cursor
string
The meta.next_cursor from the previous page. Omit for the first page.
fresh
boolean
Skip the cache and fetch now. Charged normally. Not available on trial credits — buy any pack to unlock it.
default false

Response

Returns an array of google_maps_post. This is the demo’s answer, the one the playground above returns, in full rather than abbreviated — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them. A call with your key returns the account you ask for.

What it costs

4 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 1 day and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.

On the smallest pack that is $3.12 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $1.76. The full table.

Questions

How much does the Google Maps business posts API cost?

4 credits a call: $3.12 per 1,000 calls on the smallest pack and $1.76 on the largest. A call that fails costs nothing, and the refund is automatic. A cached answer costs the same as a fresh one. Credits are bought in packs and never expire; there is no subscription.

Do I need a Google Maps account, a login or cookies?

No. You need a key from us and nothing from Google Maps. We never take a customer's login, cookies or session, at any price, and no account of yours is ever at risk.

Can I try it without signing up?

Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.

How fresh is the data?

An answer is kept for up to 1 day, and a cached one says when it was fetched, in meta.fetched_at. Add fresh=true to fetch it again now, at the same price; it needs any purchase, not the trial.

What does it return?

A list of google_maps_post objects. Its fields are named after Google's Places API. A field is null when Google Maps does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.

How do I get more than one page?

Pass meta.next_cursor back as cursor, and stop when it is null. Each page is a call, priced the same. A cursor lasts as long as the answer it belongs to is cached.

Can an AI agent call it?

Yes: it is the MCP tool get_place_posts on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.
