Example request

This example uses the real Google Maps search API endpoint. Exact request fields come from the endpoint metadata.

Recipe request

Use environment variables for secrets and keep Crawlora API keys server-side.

curl -X POST "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/google/map/search" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"country":"us","keyword":"hotel san francisco","language":"en"}'

Example response

Use endpoint detail pages for exact response schemas. This recipe does not invent response fields.

Generated example response

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "OK",
  "data": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJs3cv0KuvEmsRHcXYwNJ6GU0",
      "name": "Primi Italian",
      "place_id": "ChIJs3cv0KuvEmsRHcXYwNJ6GU0",
      "category": [
        "italian_restaurant"
      ],
      "address": "168 Clarence St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia",
      "latitude": -33.8701437,
      "longitude": 151.2056158
    }
  ]
}

Storage/output suggestion

Use place_id as the stable dedupe key when available and keep snapshot timestamps for repeated market mapping.

Error handling

Validate required inputs before calling Crawlora
Retry 429 and temporary 5xx responses with capped backoff
Log endpoint, input, timestamp, and request ID when present
Treat empty results as a state your application can handle
Open /docs/errors for production retry guidance

Rate-limit and credit planning

Estimate usage by multiplying requests by endpoint credit cost. The table below only shows real credit costs available from the billing constants.

Endpoint	Credit cost	Docs
Google Maps search API	5 credits/request	/docs/Google%20Map/google-map-search
Google Maps place details API	5 credits/request	/docs/Google%20Map/google-map-place

Production checklist

Keep API keys server-side
Use request timeouts
Back off on rate limits
Store raw responses or source IDs for auditability
Monitor credits and failures
Avoid unnecessary refreshes
Review responsible-use requirements
