Apple Maps API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Apple Maps Search API to extract supported public Apple Maps data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/apple-maps/searchReturns Apple Maps places matching a keyword, business name, category, or street address near a coordinate. Each place carries its Apple place ID (the value the place endpoint takes), name, category, coordinates, formatted and structured address, phone, website, rating and review count, price level, weekly opening hours, and a hero photo. Apple returns a bounded set per viewport (around 25 places for the default span) with no pagination; widen the span or move the center to cover more area. When nothing matches near the center Apple may relocate the search to a default region, reported by relocated=true and the region bounds. The response's filters block lists the refinement chips Apple offers for this query and area (open now, top rated, in guides, cuisines, price bands, amenities, accolades, sort); pass their keys back as filters and sort to refine the same search. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | Yes | Keyword, business name, category, or street address to search for | ||
| latitude | number | Yes | Search center latitude | ||
| longitude | number | Yes | Search center longitude | ||
| span | number | No | 0 | Search viewport size in degrees of latitude/longitude around the center. Defaults to 0.05 (roughly a 5km box); minimum 0.001, maximum 5. | |
| limit | integer | No | 25 | Max places returned. Defaults to 25, maximum 100. | |
| lang | string | No | en-US | Display language as a BCP 47 tag, e.g. en-US, ja-JP, de-DE. Defaults to en-US. | |
| country | string | No | US | Two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code selecting Apple's regional catalog. Defaults to US. | |
| filters | string | No | Comma-separated filter keys from the filters block of an unfiltered search for the same query and area, e.g. OPEN_NOW, TOP_RATED, FEATURED_IN_GUIDES, PRICE_RANGE_MODERATE, modern_pizza_restaurant, ACCEPTS_CREDIT_CARDS. Unknown keys return 400 listing the available keys. Costs a second upstream search. | ||
| sort | string | No | Result order. Costs a second upstream search. Allowed values: best_match, distance, ratings | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/apple-maps/search?query=coffee&limit=10&lang=en&country=us&sort=best_match" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
