# Google Maps research Resolve places from a query, then compare their returned details with source links. This skill contains only the four live Google Maps endpoints. ## Setup and requests Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` to your Crawlora API key from [crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net). Run the bundled `scripts/crawlora.sh` from this skill's directory (or use its absolute path). It sends `x-api-key` to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1` and prints the JSON response. Keep the key in the environment. Read [reference/endpoints.md](reference/endpoints.md) for methods and parameters. **Maps search uses POST with flat fields**: `keyword`, `language`, and `country` are all required. The catalog's `mapSearchOption` is a parameter label, not a JSON wrapper. Include the city or neighborhood in `keyword` when relevant. ```sh scripts/crawlora.sh -X POST /google/map/search \ '{"keyword":"coffee cambridge massachusetts","language":"en","country":"us"}' ``` ## Workflow 1. Search using the user's geography and category. Use returned `place_id` values; do not fabricate IDs from names or addresses. 2. Fetch `/google/map/place/{place_id}` for candidates needing current detail. Match name and address before combining records; branches are separate places. 3. Fetch `/google/map/place/{place_id}/reviews` when the question needs customer feedback, or `/photos` when it needs the place gallery. Read actual images before making visual claims. Detail alone suffices for many questions. 4.
