GET https://api.api.sh/facebook/v1/search/places

1 credit / call social try it in the playground →

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Businesses and places matching a keyword. location_id (a Facebook city page id, e.g. 108659242498155 for Chicago) limits results to that city; price 1-4 filters by price range. Pass next_cursor back as cursor; null on the last page.

Parameters

name	type	description
`q`required	string	Search text. Example: `pizza`
`location_id`	string	Facebook city page id. Example: `108659242498155`
`price`	integer	Price range, 1 ($) to 4 ($$$$).
`cursor`	string	Value of `next_cursor` from the previous page.

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/facebook/v1/search/places?q=pizza" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/facebook/v1/search/places",
    params={"q": "pizza"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/facebook/v1/search/places");
url.searchParams.set("q", "pizza");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
