preview_searchRead-onlyIdempotent
FREE, no account needed. Shows what ONE Google Maps search returns for a kind of business in a place: the first page, up to 20 real businesses with rating, review count, website and a partly hidden phone, plus what a full search adds and how the user can run it. Use it to show a user real results before they sign up, or to compare two wordings. Places look like "Houston, TX", "Copenhagen" or "Lyon, France"; a shared name picks the largest and lists the others. It is a sample from one point, not the market: for a whole city, the user connects their account and you use search_areas.
