FAQ

Common questions

Anything else? Ask our team, we usually reply within hours.

How is billing counted on the Local Business Data API?

Billing is per business, review, or photo object returned, not per API request. A Search request returning 20 businesses consumes 20 business credits; a Reviews request returning 100 reviews consumes 100 credits. Track business credits to predict your usage and avoid surprise charges.

Is the data real-time or cached?

Data is fetched directly from Google Maps in real time on each request. There is no caching on our side, so results always reflect what Google Maps currently displays for the query.

How do I get businesses with emails, phone numbers, and social profiles?

Two options. (1) Use the Business Details endpoint with extract_emails_and_contacts=true to get emails, additional phone numbers, and social links for a specific business. (2) Add extract_emails_and_contacts=true to Search, Search in Area, or Search Nearby to get contact data inline for every business returned. For deeper website scraping, the dedicated Website Contacts Scraper API returns more comprehensive contact data.

How do I filter search results by verification or business status?

Use verified=true to return only verified businesses, and business_status to filter by operating status (a comma-separated list of OPEN, CLOSED_TEMPORARILY, CLOSED). Both parameters are available on the Search endpoint and can be combined.

Can I search for businesses within a specific radius or geographic area?

Yes. Use the /area-search-by-radius endpoint with lat, lng, and radius (in meters) to search businesses within a specified radius around a center point (e.g., a 5km radius around 40.635735, -73.962737). For rectangular regions, use the /area-search-by-bounding-box endpoint with bottom_left and top_right corner coordinates. Both replicate Google Maps' "Search this area" behavior at scale.

What is the typical response time of the Local Business Data API?

Response times range from approximately 0.5 to 5 seconds depending on the endpoint and parameters. Search and Business Details are usually at the lower end; calls with extract_emails_and_contacts=true take longer because each business website is scraped during the request.

Can I get a custom plan with higher limits or a hard cap?

Yes. Contact us at support@openwebninja.com with your expected monthly volume and any requirements (hard request caps to prevent overage charges from automated retries, higher RPS). Custom plans can combine custom request limits, rate limits, and per-request pricing tailored to your usage.

How do I subscribe to and start using the Local Business Data API?

Click the "Try for Free" button at the top of this page to sign up on the OpenWeb Ninja developer portal, subscribe to a plan, and start calling the API by passing your key in the x-api-key header. No credit card required for the free tier. The API is also available on the RapidAPI marketplace if that fits your workflow better (link available at the top). Both routes serve identical endpoints, parameters, and response shapes; the direct portal route avoids RapidAPI's data transfer limits.
