Overview

The Places API discovers businesses and points of interest around any location — cafes, shops, hotels, ATMs, pharmacies and more. Provide a centre point, a radius and an optional category filter, and it returns nearby POIs sorted by distance, each with its name, type, address and exact coordinates. It runs on fresh OpenStreetMap data, so results stay current as the map evolves.

Category filter (cafe, shop, hotel, ATM…)

Radius search (up to 20 km)

Distance-sorted results
